As you all know, the HAR could be a great weapon with just a few fixes. Sccuracy mods (from what I heard) are getting fixed in publish 7. It's a good start but it's not enough.
This petition is to get the devs to fix the speed mods and make the Heavy acid rifle AP2 by publish 7 or publish 8.
If you agree,please sign.

Yes armor piercing is AP. The reason AP is such a big deal is that with the Heavy Acid Rifle (HAR) being AP0, its damaged is reduced when it hits an AP1 (light armor) target. AP1 is most mid level mobs and any armor players where. Against an AP2 target, damage is reduced 75%, and against AP3 targets (think High end bosses, like krayt dragons) damage is reduced by 87.5%. If the HAR were AP1, these modifiers would be 0%, -50%, and -75%. If the HAR were AP2, the modifiers would be +25% (you get a damage bonus if your AP value exceeds the targets armor rating),0%, and -50%. If the HAR were AP3, the modifiers would be +37.5%, +25%, 0%. In addition to armor rating, a targets resistance to a damage type is also calculated. For example, lets assume we have an AP2 mob that is 50% acid resistant and we do 1000pts of base damage:

AP0 (current) = 1000*0.5(for acid resist)*0.25(for armor rating)=125pts of damage

AP1 = 1000*0.5*0.5 (1 level of AP/armor difference)=250pts of damage

AP2 = 1000*.5*1(armor/AP are the same) = 500pts of damage

AP3 = 1000*.5*1.25 = 625

aaaa ok thanks man! ya id elike to se the flame and acid be in the same tree and something new for us why should we be the only ones that have one wep that actualy works? O well hehehe what can we do I have $5.00 that says a dev will just cycle through and delete the commando forums all together hehehe

I dunno. We got a couple of AP3 weapons, I'd prefer AP2. Also note that the Rifleman's DXR-6b is AP2 as well, not AP3, that's the T21. Which is also the only non-Commando AP3 weapon.
