I never said that the TTK was acceptable. Just, if you want to make a point with a video, at least have it be realistic.
You're
still missing the point...
OP claimed you can't kill an A-Class without an item in less than 2 seconds. Tell me RedVan, what do you see happening in that video_
Quote for me where he says "You can't kill an A-Class without an item in less than 2 seconds", because I just read the OP 3 times, and I guess I missed it all three times.
MY POINT on the other hand, is that
who gives a fuzzy bunny if you can kill an A class mech in 2 seconds while they just stand there. Because, last I checked, people aren't just standing around out on the battle field, and if an A class mech is dying in 2 seconds, they're obviously a noob.
I mean, what if HF did exactly enough damage to 1 shot a C class standing still_ But then lets say 80% of the salvo misses
as soon as the mech takes a step. Would it make more sense to show a video of a C class getting 1 shot while they stand there, which essentially
never happens in a game, or would it make more sense to show how the weapon plays out in a match where people are using their movement properly_
So again, show me a practical application please, thanks.
Except the Sabot is still easy to use against slow moving large targets
Lets look at it this way
You are an A mech and you get hit with a slug+sabot combo (lets use the area provided in the video for this scenario, as it's a fairly popular one)
What are you going to do in ONE second that can actually counter that last hit_
If you're an A class mech standing that far from cover, you're already lost. I mean common now, there is a huge fuzzy bunny wall to his left. If he's so far out in the open that a SS is going to get the follow on shot before he can get back to cover, he deserves to die, and even w/o the SS ability, he'd be so low HP the SS could just rush him once he gets to cover and kill him anyway.
Now lets look at a realistic scenario:
SS holding the choke, A class wants to move up across the bridge.
SMART A class player waits for teammates who then splash the corners so the SS can't poke out for a shot, giving the A class plenty of time to cross. But wait. Who the fuzzy bunny crosses the bridge when there is opposition anyway_ Why do that when you can go around that big wall to the left, down, and jet back up, completely out of sight of an SS on the other side of the choke.
See how this works_ You need practical scenarios, not stupid "hrp d drp! I r A class lumbering across d bridge!"
Let me ask you this: Would
you get caught in that position, in that scenario_ I mean, aside from the fact you already did for the video
