Sabot is still slow to reload, but it doesn't pack the same whallop when you finally center-punch a guy. And accuracy seems off.
SA Hawkins was never my favorite, but even it has a different, more staccato firing rate that makes it difficult to lead a dancing assaulter.
No fun.
I'm going to keep grinding, though. Hopefully, things will improve. Momma didn't raise no quitter.
On the positive side, I like the new awards line-up, and giving your rank at the end of Deathmatch. My connection is traditionally sluggish (150+ ping), but I wasn't lagging nearly as bad as usual.
Best,
JBR

And don't mind the Alpha twits in there, they all hate SS class and will take any chance they get to ridicule other players, it seems.

On the positive side, I can now try out all the other classes instead

I use the slug and sabot combo as well, and without zooming I feel like I'm a sitting duck. The zoomed one-two punch of the slug and sabot do some major damage, though. Maybe that's the trade off. I'm gonna keep pushing to lv 20 to see what changes.

Old slug did 80 (now does 65), also less heat generation.
Old SA Hawkins did 18 (now does 33). SA Hawkins is improved so much that, combined with the Slug nerf, there's no reason to use Slug anymore... or, for that matter, Sabot, since SA Hawkins can surpass the damage in half the time (albeit with much more heat).
That said, it got nerfed so hard that its momma felt it. It definitely needs to go back to more or less where it was. And with less damn screen shake every time I take a shot, please! Even with low screen shake in options, the guns have so much freakin' recoil it's almost impossible to line up several shots when zoomed in.

If these numbers are accurate...what the hell were you thinking, Adhesive? Why even have a secondary weapon?

I can't have everything I want, but I'm content for now.
SS still can't mix it up in CQB (I never expected it to), but I'm hitting the long shots again.
If they could bring back the +75 armor upgrade, I'd be even happier. If not, such is life.
Best,

I'll have to play with it more now that it does have a different feel, but it's much better than it was.
I still don't agree with the change from CBT2, but it's no where near as bad as it was previously. Thank you devs for listening to the community.
(I don't mean to necro threads, I'm just almost always running behind. My apologies)
