Thread: Are stockless flamethrowers the norm?

one thing you need to take into consideration when deciding to add the stock to heavy weapons for the increased acuracy is whether or not the increased accuracy actullay makes a difference at the range the weapon is being fired at. what i mean is, the ideal accuracy of the weapon may be far enough away from the actual firing range of the heavy weapon ( 0-15m for specials) that the added +20 or 30(not a ws, pls forgive my ignorance) may be hardly noticed. i dont know what the ideal range on flamers is since im just a simple bh, but i know that stocks dont really do much for the accuracy of a llc. with a llc the ideal range is 35m(i think) +20 accuracy at 35 only makes the accuracy at 0-15m better by a few points, hardly noticible.

the point of what i am saying is that +5 more accuracy at the range a heavy weapon is fired is not worth the increased .3 speed. yes .3 sounds very tiny, and it may be miniscule to the weapons of most other profesions, but to a commando or bh with a llc it can be huge. even more so to a commando because they have even slower speed than a bh

you don't have an accuracy problem with your LLCs 'cause they can be scoped.



- You need to go prepared for PVP.
- Yes, I know.
- Coz those that aren't prepared, die first, and then the pikemen.
