    Because hybrid weapons mean they are meant to fill an inbetween niche, OR act as a similar weapon, but level up the "other" role.

     

    Look at Aces Rifle, can't compete against ntec, but does well if used right otherwise similar to a pointman weapon, it levels up rifleman role, but is a complete pointman weapon.

    Like the ISSR-A sucks terribly in the AR role, as the ISSR-B is the much better "sniper" variant. But is played almost exactly the same but more mid range than -b.

    S1NA acting like a rifleman in MM but leveling pointman.

    ATAC leveling rifleman, but being a psuedo pointman weapon.

     

    Hybrid weapons don't mean they are meant to "compete" with everything easily in both niches that they are made in, nor is it mean to compete against the "best" weapon in that role that it is given. Hybrids are there to fill a niche gap and provide a functioning weapon that may act as "1" role, but level another.

     

    As such the Cobr-A is meant to be similar to a full auto joker carbine, and fill a similar niche as the joker (aka not compete against the ntec at 50m). It also used to have an atrocious 1.2ttk. (I actually hated the buff originally because it felt like a direct nerf until i got used to it)

     

    Also, weapon functionality effects which role a weapon is in. You won't ever see a full auto in the "rifleman" category (least i hope not) because it's all burst/semi auto weapons.

     

    Having a range of 50m kicks it out of the pointman category which is ~30m, and it can't be an lmg or sniper. That leaves rifleman being the ideal category for it as it is full auto.

    Oh I see, I'll just stick to my Scoped N-tec PR2 then 😛

    It's not designed to combat the NTEC at all though especially at range, even if it has 50m range (swear i thought it was 40m).

     

    It's designed around sub 40m fights, and it's really rough around the edges even then and often does best at the ~20m range. It's magsize is because it was originally designed almost exactly as a joker carbine with full auto, but with better starting accuracy and worse end bloom. Its mag is fine as is imo because of the original intent of the gun. The weapon itself has "other" issues I feel that could be buffed instead (such as max bloom or bloom gain).

     

    A lot of hybrid weapons do not exactly "fit" within the niche they are given, this one is one of them. Think of it as a full auto carbine. Another would be the ISSR-A (sniper designed for AR), S1NA (being forced into MM like an AR), and even ATAC (Rifle designed as a pointman weapon). Aside from ATAC they all have their own issues with balance because they dont really "fit" where they are, or their general stats with accuracy, rof, bloom, or ttk, were borked on creation.

    Why the hell didn't they just make it as a joker carbine then?

    The mag cap is because it's much more like a hybrid  joker carbine for the AR role. It's not really designed as an "AR". It's original design was basically a joker carbine with full auto.

    I'd say it's fine as is, as long as you don't spray it too much, or if you want to put EM on it, it'll help you a little bit. Bandolier will put more mags overall as well if you prefer that.

     

    People have suggested nerfing the NTEC and Star ammo to 24 similar to the FAR because they believe that 32 is "too much" for those weapons as well tbi.

    It still doesn't put up in a firefight against a N-tec or any other Assault Rifle. And 20 bullets per mag is very low for a Assault Rifle, even if it's supposed to be a hybrid.

    Hello. Could you guys please increase the mag cap and ammo cap at the COBR-A weapons. It has 100 bullets in total an 20 bullets per mag. It is very low and it don't sustain in a firefight against any other assault rifle. It can keep the bloom increase since it's a really good way to adapt to assault rifles in general.  It would be divine if you could increase the mag cap and ammo cap to Ntec and STAR caps.

    most of those players are no longer here. there's a hand full that do , and those people respond to the ones who go along with it. takes two to tango.

    i personally have not seen it in months since i do not do that behavior either.

    on the forums people say their ban list is full , but that also tends to be the people who are being toxic themselves when they argue with people.

    the rest of us keep saying our chat ban lists in apb are empty and that they might want to consider it might be them.

     

    there are countries that speak 9 languages and none of them are English , don't you think its about time others pull their own  weight as well then?

    If they don't speak english, why the hell are they playing APB?

    Hello. I would like to make a suggestion to add a 4x4 Jericho since we already have a 4x4 Vegas. The Jericho tends to spin off a lot when you take corners even at a moderate speed, which can be a bit off a pain in the patootie. The 4x4 Vegas however, handles really well and is easy to drive with, so my suggestion is to make a 4x4 Jericho that drives similar like the 4x4 Vegas do.

    We have tried everything we are able to but we still can't access the email and the email is still active and hasn't been expired. The username and a character name is no problem, he also has proof off some billings since he purchased items on Armas.

    Hello! My friend got hacked and can't get any access to his email or to his account on APB. Is there any way that he can get some help to change his Email and username/ password even though he can't access his email?

    EAC keeps kicking me off the server. It says that I have packet loss but I don't have any and I don't lag either. Is there something that can fix this?

    Hello. Wouldn't it be nice if the Cobras had some more magazine capacity? I mean 20 bullets for a fully automatic assault rifle is a bit low.

    - You "doubt that merging nekrova with citadel will do anything good".

    - You stated that the chat will become 100% Russian, even though other languages than English are also used to communicate in APB.

    - You ask the question: "how we can handle it", trying to brainwash people into thinking that Russians coming over is an epicly bad thing (even though they already exist in Citadel).

    - You went as far as speculating that people would quit because of it (even though Russians already play in CItadel).

    - You "think that it will only get worse".

     

    You clearly have issues with Russians and you aren't even mediocre at hiding it. I am certain that if you were a board-member at LO, you would have voted against the merge.

    Regardless. It is not a problem. If it was, LO wouldn't be going forward with the merge. Kindly do not try to make it seem detrimental to the game.

    As I said, It's just my thoughts and not racism, dont be so PC.

    There should be a rule to timeout/ban this type of racism.

    How was it racist? I didn't really talk shit about the russians, I just shared my 2 cents.
