Commando Archive

First off I'd like to thank Popo for bringing us that information. It's nice to see the dev's getting something done to help our class become usable.

But about these upcoming changes, I'd have to agree that the weapons, specifically the HW line, should have no lower than medium armor piercing. While many of you are highly impressed with the damage on the weapons, remember that they are slow and have no special moves. The only reason any class can hit for over 1k (or 3 or 4k for that matter) is because of the class's special moves. While the potentially high damage and armor piercing modifier (which will increase the damage on the shot if the target has lower armoring than the weapon pierces) may end up being significant in and of themselves, they still may not equal out to what a rifleman with a T21 rifle can do to an ATST using (insert high damage rifleman skill here).

At this point I will remain very skeptical of the improvements until a TC commando can get back to us with actual damage information with our heavy weapons.
