Well, if Solar would be nice enough to solve this situation just by testing the damn Pankor and Avendger in game, using AP ammo VS a CA, especially nice it would be against a 2 Toughness person, that would be great. Solar, i'm sure your opinion would change dramatically.
If you want to make enemies, try to change something.
Just tried it in game, 10 Shots at CA: Avenger Minigun Average 56.6Pancor Jackhammer Average 55.8
[whisper] Jackhammers were always cheaper [/whisper] Like I said, cheaper, damage in between Miniguns and Avengers and lower range. From having such low range you can also plan to use 1. Lower SG skill than the BG skill required or 2. Keep the high SG but use Psycho!
That was with AP ammo.
This can't be, you must have done something wrong, have you taken the "bonus R dmg" perks? And Pancor's average can't be that high either.And besides, 10 shots are not good enough for a statistic research. If you mind finding me in game in CA armor I would gladly help to participate (I use pancor)
then you didnt use Bonus ranged dam perk - with AP ammo 2x that perk gives about 35 dam for avenger -range shotand another thing is that pancor doesnt do 3x damage at point blank range... and also the tougher target is BA+2 toughness (+possibly spycho) damage done by pacor will drop alot more then that of avengeryet i dont say its worthless ...just that shotguns arnt a fucking pointblank canon
I seriosly think that boosting some unpopular weapons would add variety to the game, because a build is always based on gear, more usable gear-more builds-more variety.
