but stabbas are preety op imo... i hit cop15 with only using pistol stabba (not the one shot one)

....if only, TTS on stabbas is far higher than any TTK for a gun plus worse accuracy (on the TG8 atleast)

 

just because you can use the TG8 to max out cop 15 doesnt mean its op, it actually loses out to every other secondary except maybe the snub lmao and the pig isn't 1 shot

 

 

6 cop 15s btw

idk about you but i never see anyone play the manic

Because the majority of the playerbase still hasn't picked up on it yet. Same story as the NSSW back in the day.

i got the family of em, they all have to much recoil lift, and too much bloom. 

the sub is alright, the ar is better used as a sub, n the lmg is bad.

You have to tap it, and its just not comparable to or as good as the kraken.

Well I want to thank for your time contributing to my Cause.

It is unfortunate you will be leaving the Cause.

     That LMG has trouble in mid to close ranges more so than 

other similar lmg's.

Great point! It’s strange that a car with "Rally" in the name would stick with FWD, especially when AWD has been the standard in rally racing for so long. AWD offers way better traction and control, which would make a huge difference in both performance and handling on rough terrain. Switching to AWD would really help it live up to its rally heritage and be more competitive. It feels like a missed opportunity not to have it by default!

I just drove it yesterday and...

well, it still can't compete with top tier compacts because it's slow and now with nitro, pushed very early, you'll get wheelspining for like 3 seconds of nitro

 

and i must say: i don't  envy devs right now because they're literally ran out of things to buff this car:

1)if you add even more acceleration - you'll get wheelspin even without nitro and with it you'll negative acceleration+torque steering like hell

2)if you buff handling - then it can return to the previous state where you can roll over in corner, or you just will lose more speed while turning

3)last one: if you make it AWD, then it'll become another top tier compact without any unique features while also being ahead of them by Max Speed

But at the same time if you leave it in this way - nobody will use it because it's crap

i also don't get why it received trunk size nerf when became updated version of regular varzuga

It was nerfed, then people stopped using. The jump accuracy penalty and max bloom multipliers were increased. Now it's similar to the way it used to be,

The marksman movement speed change is irrelevant, since you don't ADS with the COBR-A (it's a pure hipfire weapon). However, that jump modifier buff is a welcome adjustment.

Personally I enjoy playiung the COBR-A like a STAR / JokerCarbine hybrid.
I prefer playing with heavy barrel and mobility sling (and blue mod). It feels like a more jack-of-all-trades weapon than the STAR. Flexible with an emphasis on aiming but absolutely no pushover for hip-fire ^^

what is that? restricts your jump with the weapon in hand?

it means you can jump and shoot with it easier

• Adjusted curve to cause accuracy loss when shooting to start later
• Ramp Distance decreased from 5000 to 4500

 

DOW 'Thumper'

• Ray Spread decreased from 125 to 90
• Mechanical Choke now reduces Ray Spread by 45% (was 35%)

 

Shredder

• Ray Spread decreased from 45 to 35

Perhaps my conclusions are wrong. Calling for reinforcements works as an escalation. The selection of opponents is aimed at equalizing the number of players in the team, without paying attention to the level of their abilities. Is this really the case?

[iSynergy 9]

So still no new updates about current cheating issue?

or any changes

- about the Cargameplay Meta (which easy can be fixed!) ?!
- about finally fixing the Obir which is currently way too strong? 

- about matchmaking issues? waiting 10mins to get finally a Match, you're able to call backup (what actually should only affect your own team not the enemy team aswell), not even mentioning the actually matchups

Heavy Barrel does nothing for the gun, while also making it a 6 shot to kill instead of a 5 shot to kill. Bruh.

NUMBERS! Ladies and gentlemen,

I love numbers.

Guess what, 'Frenzy' with heavy barrel as well.

 

And then I get pointed at and laughed moments before I win the gunfight. It's so awesome being a strategist.

[BlatMan 703]

Heavy Barrel makes sense on the COBR-A since it's more accurate firing those first 7 shots than firing the 6. The 'Frenzy' doesn't seem to benefit the accuracy enough to justify the ttk loss. If I'm often shooting over 50M, I rather have Long Range Rifling. Less effect on TTK up close than HB2, and more range than IR3, without the max bloom downside.

COBR-A is a 6 shot kill stock, but with HB3 it remains a 6 shot kill.

It should be 7 shots with HB3. Did they change the damage and forgot to include it in the patch notes? I'd test how much damage a 4 shot assist gives you.

COBR-A has always been 6 shot AFAIK, even with HB2. Now you can slap HB3 on it since they buffed it not too long ago and gave it -10% damage penalty that HB2 used to have. APBDB doesn't have the most up to date info though so if you want to see how current HB3 affects weapons damage wise, you gotta go with HB2 in the modding menu.

Totally fair. Eveyone should play how they feel like playing. (Unless it is cheating)
My secret testresults yield a "Mobility Sling; Hunting Sight 3; Heavy Barrel 2" setup for my personal preference. With stipulation on burstfiring and going crazy on the trigger, not holding it down.

A barrage of accurate AR rounds.

 

I'm very abstract with my builds and numbercrunching and whatnot. But that makes it all the more fun.

[a Pair of Socks 123]

Why was the ability to use the DOW Thumper outside of a vehicle taken away?

Why can you use OPGL out of cars but not EOL's?

Just checked APB:Db, apparently it got nerfed at some point. LO really just can't dodge the allegations of incompetence.

From release until LO apparently nerfed it, COBR-A dealt 200 damage per shot, making it kill in exactly 5 shots against a player with unmodified health.

That's from 9 Mar 2015. It's been 195hp for quite a while. Maybe Innova had different damage.
