Hello WS's!

I've been shopping around lately, as well as reading on these forums a bit, and i'm completely boggled.

Why would anyone want a T21 vs. an Advanced Laser Rifle?

ALR's require 4 Tissues to enhance, T21's are (rumor) 6 tissues.
ALR's and T21's have the same damage cap's.
ALR's seem to have less SAC (overall) than T21's
ALR's and T21's seem to have the same speed's.
Neither one has an accuracy bonus that I have seen.

Please discuss, Master Riflemen are interested

Its no rumor T21 take 6 tissues. Overall I do believe Advanced Laser's are better also easier to get one Krayt Enhanced.

ALR's require 4 Tissues to enhance, T21's are (rumor) 6 tissues. not a rumor, they have had their ABPH requirement cut in half.
ALR's and T21's have the same damage cap's. true
ALR's seem to have less SAC (overall) than T21's depends on resources available, even still, any difference is nominal.
ALR's and T21's seem to have the same speed's. false. ALRs can take scopes, which add speed to a weapon. ALRs generally have better resources available, which also decreases speed. it all depends on how you have your weapon built.
Neither one has an accuracy bonus that I have seen. false. ALRs can have scopes, which adds accuracy. Both should come standard with a +1 accuracy bonus.

With that being said, in theory, is the T21 even worth the Skill Requirement placed upon it? The e11mk2 is definitely superior to the Elite Carbine (not by much, though).

Thanks for the replies thus far!

Hmmm...In most cases the T-21 is more expensive and from what I am hearing the stats are almost the same. I don't need Master rifleman for the ALR...So why am I waisting skillpoints on Master rifles when all I need is a few specials from the tree (4004)...hmmm

QFE

my ALR are better then my t21 and a lot cheaper.

I've said it since launch of CU, The ALR is far easier and surperior, get some pre-cu sopes and stocks...and some Krayt tissues and you are laughing. Saving grace... T21's look bad ass...
