While these rifles will fire .50 rounds that will pierce light armor, they will still be stoped in their tracks by any heavy tank. I supose I see your point though, after all, we used to mount a set for 4 20mm cannons on jeeps. I still think directional explosice grenades would make a better AV weapon.

You jsut said it your self trout, DIRECTIONAL. The Pounder grenades are not directional explosives (they deal damage in an equal level around a point of impact). Now the DC's the do make a better choice for AV because of the high velocity and beter range than the pounder. If you still wanna mow down infantry with AV maxs get someone to strip their armor.

Even though I'm TR, I think the downfall of the TR is mostly becouse of the gamers' self-confidence. This nerf makes some people think that their weapons will suck and then they just give up hope. Several of my friends have switched empires becouse of it, (Only to the NC, not the Barnies). I however think a great gamer can do the best with what he's got. Which is why I stay with the Terran Republic, LOYALTY UNTIL DEATH! (Or until another nerf)

There's been a max exodus from TR to NC on Emerald since the patch. All the former TR MAXes are now NC jack hammer users.

See I'm staying in TR and just kiling a bunch of NC to get the jackhammer.

the pounder deffinatly needed nurfing, but to nerf the dual cycler again!?

They made the cycler weaker in beta, and after that it was underpowered IMHO, they did it again and now it takes about triple the time to kill infantry then it did before they tocked it.

And dosent anyone see this game will turn into DAoC. Instead of improving things that need it, theyre gimping things to bring them down to the same level

Are u smoking crack orca? Lets make the DC anhiliate both the Infantry and Tanks. it really doesnt make any sense. Now i under stand ppl are saying that a bulelt that damages a tank should hurt an infantry man too but then wed have to do that to the phnx too. Now i remember the nerf the phnx debates soemtime ago. Ppl used em to take out groups of infantry. Logicaly if we did that to the DC wed have to do it to the phnx too. Everyone just wants their weapons to be uber powerful, sometimes i think ppl want ALL the weapons to kill people quick but weres the fun in that? Id rather play this game like in UT all the weapons were equal except some were more usefull in X situation. So everyone should jsut stop pissing and moaning and accept the fact that now the DC's will take the same amount of time to drop an Infantry man as a NC or VS AV max. (although i think that it would be better to have maxs be better in close range inside and they ARE unequal) Ex The Scattercannon is best indoor AI (shot guns best at clsoe range they better than MGs), this would be made up for the stopping power that the normal infantry cycler has indoors. The Vanus AI is best at long range and the TR best at Med range. The TR have the best Anti air and Vanu are med.... well u get the idea. It would be too complicated to get all of them to balance out. I was just sitting there thinking that the TRs wep would be best against vehicals (the DCs i mean) but then im thinking about how a missle will always beat a bulelt in damage (the NC falcon) but then im thinking that the NC already have the best indoor wep so giving em best out door AV wep is unfair. So u see the delema??
