weapons balance in 2.5

<< < (2/3) > >>

Sarin:
I agree about the two man team. I don't have the improved rocket available yet in my campaign, so I can't say, but I think it is 1HKO weapon even at late game. But I think there should be another type of rocket available from the start, HEAT (shaped charge). Low yield blast, but direct hit would be 1HKO on virtually everything.

As for coilgun/electromagnetic rifle: They are more accurate than sniper over longer ranges. Coilgun is only slightly stronger than sniper rifle with plasma ammo, but improved ammo for bolter really takes the cake. In my game I use one "light" sniper with SR, and one heavy sniper with coilgun/bolter. They are really fun with throughwall attribute.

Can you speak more about your experience with the Electromagnetic Rifle? I too use the one "light" sniper and one heavy sniper with Bolter (don't yet have the coilgun). But I have to say my light sniper has just performed way better. I have my own thoughts on the reasons for this, but I'd be very interested to hear more from you if you've found the Bolter really useful and the light/heavy setup work well for you.

Sarin:
I haven't used bolter at all until improved ammo. It's a b*tch to make, but it's best sniper around. I don't have PB weapons researched yet and my campaign is pretty much on hold for now. I actually used light+heavy sniper team only after getting coilgun.

GPS51:
Hmm now I'll have to load up my campaign and bother with antimatter bolters just to try them out. I preferred laser rifles and pb rifles to plasma ammo assault rifles but it might just be my play style. I'd love to see A more accurate rockets (that do more dmg) and B plasma shotgun ammo. I prefer mid/close range battles anyway. It wasn't until the end of the campaign that I switched 4 or 5 laser rifles to pb rifles for close range punch.
