This poll is on the M-1922/Tommy gun

 

The best way for LO to make changes that will be accepted is to voice our opinions in an easy analysable manner, so let's put our initial opinions out in the open for them

Revert the changes G1 made to the recoil, 100%. The Tommygun was fine before that, the recoil was hard enough to manage for it to feel satisfying when you did well with it, but at least it was consistent. Increased recoil as you continue firing is just a dumb mechanic that doesn't suit APB imo.

Wait... it currently has a similar gimmicky mechanic like the Norseman series but for recoil? Wow that went way past me lol

G1 has balanced the weapons for 7 years , LO balancing weapons 1.5 years . 

 

are you okay ?

Have you seen half of the decisions G1 has made over 7 years vs LO in the past 1.5 years? LO clearly way better at decision-making than G1. The only thing that may serve as a counter-argument is RIOT, but everything else (especially their decision to focus on the engine upgrade) has been great. And when we're talking only about balance changes, they fixed the yukon and nerfed the RFP... 2 things G1 kept broken for years.

my opinion is the opposite . I see no reason to balance weapons after the outrage of 10-15 players . active users of the forum do not even make up 10% of the total number of players .

While I do enjoy the M1911's current design, I won't pretend that it's in a good spot balance-wise. I'm in the camp of just reworking the gun from the ground up and trying for something more fun than "ATAC with shorter range and bigger magazine that fires faster" which is where it'll end up if you simply remove the ramping recoil mechanic.

shorter range, bigger mag, fires faster (but less accurate)... yea, so a completely different gun?

a complete rework isn't needed, since it would turn into a whole different gun... which stats could instead be used to... well... create a new gun?

revert the curve system and make it's TTK slightly faster by lowering shots to kill from 10 to 9, pushing it into the meta beside OCA and PMG...

there is a reason the tommygun isn't used at all... it's just not worth it controlling the huge recoil, so that's why I'd suggest slightly lowering the TTK to make up for it - give us a reason to control that beast...

isn’t tommy gun ttk already .67s? imo that’s pretty competitive with the (relative smg) range you can get out of it, especially without the annoying recoil mechanics

the manic would have been a better comparison considering they occupy the exact same niche and function almost exactly the same
