Try looking like something other than a semi-literate retard and people might take you seriously. Keep writing posts like a failed rapper with brain damage and be prepared to be treated like the fucking moron you are.

He posted this tripe before and got the same attention. Then he didn't for a while and everybody ignored him. Some people just didn't get enough love from Mom and Dad, and it's the duty of every person on the internet to help fill that void in their lives.

I'm sensing a lot of pent up anger here.... maybe you should join the server and take it out on the smurfs, or teh commies, which ever your preferance.

That's right kiddo, just keep digging yourself deeper.

Wait, lemme rephrase that in a way you can comprehend:

There ya go dipshit. Maybe you get it now. Then again considering the abysmul comprehesion skills we've seen you demonstrate so far, probably not.

Did you just call me a little girl? That kicked ass. That was way more satisfying that an actual, well thought-out insult. Grats.

Ah you guys kill me.

Hmm, I haven't seen this many double/triple posts full of s*#& since EvilH himself.

Back on topic (sort of), Population balance is the cause. Those who argue lack of a population balance, need to do a few /whos during their game time. I do it frequently each time I play. 75% of my observed time (on emerald), NC have a significant population compared to VS or TR. VS and TR seem to vary between themselves (sometimes more TR, sometimes more VS). This is observed fact, maybe I just need to start keeping graphs. The argument that "since the devs aren't working on it, means it doesn't exist" is a pretty empty argument. I, for one, beleive they ARE working on it, it just goes slowly.

Now, as to cause of the imbalance, I didn't post my reasons, as everyone differs in their opinion. HOWEVER, I do think that weapons balance is one of the culprits. No, TR doesn't fight with plastic sporks and cardboard tanks (though listening to some of the whining, that is what it sounds like). However, our weapons do have some problems. Look at the proposed "fixes" coming from the devs (prowler 25mm, Dual Cycler change to AI, New AV Max to replace pounder). Also look at other "fixes" (eliminate the JH quad shot, JH reload time on triple shot, upgraded Rexo, fix Surge). As you can see, these changes in total will effectively "buff" TR, while effectively "nerfing" NC. I don't like using these terms, but overall, you can see that things will become a bit more balanced. As to helping VS, I really think they are getting overlooked by the Devs. Maybe because you don't see a lot of VS whining about their crap weapons. I for one would like to see the hitbox on the mag increased a bit (since mowing is a valid tactic). As it is now, a AMS mows like a mofo (to use the double/triple post moron language), while a mag gives you a gentle shove. But I digress.

How does this affect populations? Well, you do have a lot of the "grass-is-greener" types that go where they think the most fun will be (bigger weapons = fun). So, after the last balance pass, they fled to NC. After the devs spork it up a bit, you will probably see them flee back to TR. I just hope they get it right this time. I, for one, don't want to see NC end up where TR is now. I don't consider it a fun fight beating up on a weak empire (there is no challenge in it). BTW, in case your wondering, I do have a NC character too.

Anyway, I hope we can end this thread (9 pages is a bit much to follow). If you really want to talk Balance, empire populations, empire flavor, why empires dominate, start a new dang thread PLEASE!

All tanks have the same hitbox, so the mag is fine. Regarding population, I have honestly never seen a significant difference between 5 cst and 12 cst. After 12, the population drops so even minor imbalances show up as much greater on the % indicators.

[Happy lil Elf]

Erm I guess I haven't done any testing, and currently can't but I don't think all Tanks have the same hitbox. If that were true any shots that hit the top of a Prowler should go right through.

[BDMJ]

I'm pretty sure the horizontal hitbox is the same. I'm not sure about the vertical dimensions of the hitbox. Maybe having the shot go right through the prowler is not the result of the hitbox, maybe the shot will hit the van when it shouldn't according to the model.
