Carbineer Archive

As Carbineer's we get +4 Carbine Aim

Riflemen get +30 Rifle Aiming

Pistolers get +16 Pistol Aiming

What's going on here?

On this topic, does anyone know the average ranged modifiers for rifles and pistols?

It seems most of the carbines are -x/0/-x, we always have 0 (or near it) as our ideal range modifier, and the other numbers are negative... so we NEVER get a bonus to-hit from our weaponry...

good point vol, wish i knew. another strange thing i think is how in alot of carbines, your going to be much more effecive at point blank range than at your ideal range. just doesnt seem to make sense, isn that the pistols area?

Notice the minus sign on the point blank range being on the wrong line.

We've all been a bit fooled by this

I have posted on both the Rifleman and Pistoleer forum asking for the ranged attack mod stats for their top guns, to see if having negative/zero/huge-negative range mods is par for all weapons.

Well I can assure you that these attack modifiers to not apply to pistols in the least. I went halfway up the pistoleer tree before I realized what I'd done. (which was give up my precious ham eating carbine that I love so dear, which I am compinsating w/ buffs atm)

Buy a pistol, no matter your skill level, and start shooting at something from 65m away and run circles around it. I gaurentee you will hit it 8/10 times.

Try that with a carbine, lets say, halfway up the carbineer tree, which is my current skill, running at 65m away in circles shooting I will hit for about 3/10 times, if I'm lucky.

Anyone see a problem with this?
