I'm assuming you mean damage when you quote those numbers, if so bear in mind the only reason that's the case is because if the AI shockwaves did 7k+ damage they'd kill fully armoured heavy fleets in 2 maybe 3 shots, imagine the complaining if they did that! Especially now they'll likely out range just about every other weapon in game. Also bear in mind that the AI ships in raids usually have huge amounts of health that we could never realistically reach with our ships so our 7k shockwaves don't make that much difference (i'm sure the HLNC took 5 or 6 of our shockwaves to kill in riptide)
accuracy between U and V = same combat speed boost = V damage = same shockwave stuff, not sure how it all works, but yes seems faster, BUT I believe no explosive splash damage per a post on another thread?? Range = V Weight = U
When people took to the forums to complain about the HL single handedly causing shockwaves faster than a whole NC fleet in the last raid Robot stated that the D92-V did less damage per fletchette but it caused the shockwaves faster (I believe he said 36 hits = shockwave) I think he said the accuracy a bit was higher as well but i'm not sure on that one. Then again you can probably see the stats in the files where as I only have the word of a kixeye rep to go on.
lol.. I will confirm what I see tho - prior to this week, D92-V had the same overall "weapon" stats as the D92-U, but it had the addition of 5% combat speed and the shockwaves only took 36 hits to generate, but those shockwaves had tiny damage output compared to the D92-U, and didn't have the "reaver fire pool" effect that our D92-U gets.
All that having been said, I'm not at home with my normal computer right now, and so I haven't seen the changes yet :-)
D92-V is heavier and has lower shockwave DPS, so if anything I'd expect to see it in tier 3 or 4 of the FM - it's definitely not a raid-class weapon. That range boost is something crazy tho - I'd be really happy to get it if they released it to us.
So they outrange us, cause shockwaves faster and have higher accuracy? lol, that's so "balanced"
ReplyDeleteThe shockwave is only 1038 instead of 7k+

When did the V varient get released, never heard of this one, only the U version
ReplyDeletelast month, only NPC version, we don't get it.
DeleteIt's a variant the dracs have, so thinking it'll be a prize in this coming raid
