Zealocke 53 Posted July 10, 2018 2 minutes ago, BXNNXD said: the oca was already perfectly balanced imo, the incredible ease of use was offset by merely having an average ttk additionally the oca’s out-of-nowhere buff threw the rest of the cqc balance out of wack, since it now offers the same ttk has “hard to use” guns (tommy gun, aces smg, etc) but retains the ease of use that these guns don’t have You have a point. So , should we start a "nerf the oca" thread and watch the forum burn? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Similarities 226 Posted July 11, 2018 It's such an RNG cannon that you can defeat it quite often in CQC, just lower the TTK back to 0.7 seconds and it'll be fine. I've no issues going up against OCA/PMG users with a Carbine in CQC, if you out position them then you should win no problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zealocke 53 Posted July 11, 2018 (edited) Lets see the facts. (According to APB Db v2) Glossary : Gun/TTK/BTK/Dropoff/ROF TTK: Time to Kill BTK: Bullets to kill ROF: Rate of fire (bullets per seg) ALL STATS ARE BASE WITHOUT MODS Normal OCA : 0,64segs/6shots/30m/0.09segs OCA Whisper : 0,64segs/6 Shots/50m/0.09segs - only difference is the hard damage from 15 to 13 and more range vs other SMGs: Agrotech ACES: 0,63segs/15shots/30m/0,05segs - This one actually has similar stats to an OCA but it has weird pattern recoil and shoots too fast. Also has more BTK Colby M-1922: 0,67segs/10shots/30m/0.08segs - Again weird recoil pattern and more BTK Colby PMG : 0,70segs/5shots/35m/0,18segs - Kills with 1 less bullet and has a little more range but shoots A LOT slower H-9 Curse : 0,77segs/10shots/30m/0,09segs - Poor thing, thanks god it will be buffed. Norseman : 0,79segs/11shots/30m/0,08segs - Only adv is large magazine (60), this also needs a buff. S1-NA Manic: 0,64segs/9shots/35m/0,08segs - This one is actually a balanced OCA (need recoil test) VAS-C2: 0,63segs/7shots/35m/0,11segs - another balanced OCA... who would have known! (need recoil test) If you see the stats, OCA is kinda balanced.. however the amount of BTK for it is WAY TOO LOW for a 0,09segs shooting gun. Whisper is outright broken.. 50m falloff?? with just 2 points of hard damage penalty?? seriously??. Somebody confirm me this. I really hope my info is correct however i dunno how continuously is the updating of db v2. Edited July 11, 2018 by Zealocke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AxeTurboAgresor 268 Posted July 11, 2018 Wha? OCA always been 8 hits to kill.

Zealocke 53 Posted July 11, 2018 So we have enough proof to ask for a nerf i guess.. But if they nerf it... APB becomes P2W.???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CookiePuss 5379 Posted July 11, 2018 -M1922, Manic, and Vas-C2 are much more likely to min ttk than the oca -pmg and curse have greater range -ACES smg is well... its has to be two bursted outside of yukon range... its not great Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crunk 88 Posted July 11, 2018 The Sub Machine Gun group in this game is one of the more meticulously yet fragile balances in the game, and in my opinion it should not be touched on a weapon per weapon basis. If one changes they all need to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im forced to gimp myself. I shouldnt be forced to use just one gun to be "competitive" let alone to use the 3 most used on this game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slvyt 72 Posted July 11, 2018 Don't touch my Whisper, like really it doesn't need to be nurfed at all if you know how to use it the PMG can out shoot a whisper it takes less shots to kill then a whisper does. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
