Raven & basilisk useless

I have the Raven & Basilisk, level 12 sniper & assault weapons. Both @ 356k, a bad mistake on my part. On the level 12 maxed out bases it takes over 4 shots or a 45 shot clip & 1/2 just to take out a merc. Sentrys are 6 shots & 2 clips at.least. The Raven only has a 3 shot clip. The level 11 bases can be beaten but you have to thin ranks with rockets or.granades. These & other level 12 guns need to be tweeked. It should not take more than 2 head shots.to take out an opponent. The only weapon that works now are Tesla's 10.5 or higher IMO. If this isn't changed the game is over. Also, with Lvel 12 guns, I am matched with level 12 maxed out bases that can't be beat without meds and it takes several thousand diamonds to get to level 11 opponents. My own base is L11 @107 k. My only hope is my drone is just about 400k diamonds short till I reach 51K and I hope it will make up difference.

Lolz on you, assault and sniper rifles are completely useless in battle. I'm just sad to hear that you wasted all that gold on an obsolete weapon. Live and learn I guess.
Agreed. The game would be a little too easy (and Glu wouldn't make much money) if you could take down maxed out bases with the free primary weapons. A maxed out base should be difficult to take down, even with the advanced secondary weapons. It's how Glu gets you to want those hard to get guns. Use gold to get one, then use that gun to start winning more PVP battles to get a better one.
Do not ever buy a Sniper or an Assault weapon with Gold, and do not spend to upgrade it beyond the minimum power reqjuired to get through the current campaign. Concentrate on the "Secondary weapons", the Tesla and the Heavy. Teslas are forgiving guns and can be used through a couple of cycles, but PVP in CKS REQUIRES the best, nastiest Heavy you can get, concentrate your efforts and your Gold on acquiring one. Having done that, get ready to acquire another one next month, since the shelf life of a Heavy is no more than 4 weeks.
Perhaps that is not fair or just, but it is the way this game is currently played.
I take exception to labeling ASSAULT rifles as useless in PvP ... it was all I had for weeks and in "capable hands" it can be an effective weapon *** SMILES *** I'll even use my SNIPER at times just for fun ...
ONE SHOT ... ONE KILL and some help from LITTLE ME.
Just busting chops ... in reality not everyone is a nut like me ... TESLA and HEAVY are the ticket.
So you haven't had a chance to test out our theory as yet? Just keep it in the back of your mind ...
You know the Assault used to be my favorite weapon. I used it over the Heavy for several Campaigns. Reloading is a minor hassle, but I usually need to duck at that point anyway. And I admire how you made do for a month with no Heavy to speak of, but the current situation is tough even for Heavies as you know.
The only comparison I can make now is between my 210 K Guitar and the Medusa at 315 K, and this is not a fair comparison at all. I have tried the Guitar against lower rated opponents and it does OK, but it just leaves you exposed for way to long. I would think that a 356 K Assault should be good to go against any opponent, but it would require more work (and more Medkits.)
It is funny, every week in League play there is some guy who I never heard of who is kicking my butt. I look at his profile and he doesn't even have a Heavy, yet he is 50 points ahead in League play, so his Assault weapon is obviously working for him.
In any event, I am not thinking about trading my Medusa in for a brand new Assault weapon, even 12.0.
*** SMILING ***
Empty your clip at a JUGG ... duck back down ... RELOAD ... then the SENTRY, then the MERCS... made a living doing that for weeks. You would be surprised what you can in 5 minutes with a little bit of patience.
ONE BITE AT A TIME
I think the difference is the fire rate. Sure, one is more powerful, but the other is throwing more lead and getting more hits per second.
The rating system is like the game cash ... it's funny. When the dust settles, take your ASSAULT out for some target practice. I'll tell you, rate of fire aside, the GUITAR can inflict as mush damage as the MEDUSA when fighting one opponent at a time.
The HEAVY spoils us because there's no need to reload. But it will over heat at times. I use the assault sparingly, of course, but it does have it's uses.
Another thing to keep n mind is that the ASSAULT rifle is far more accurate !!
You confirm my suspicions. Firing an Assault always leaves you with the sinking feeling that it is just taking too long. And just standing there. blasting away, against a strong opponent is a losing game.
Still, an accurate ratings system should take that into account.
That's because you have an "inner clock" that gets impatient after 60 seconds of fighting. When we're playing for FREE energy, there's no rush ... slow down ... use the full five minutes if necessary.
Anyone know how the gun power is calculated? I mean, I checked the Basilisk and I figure that it's calculated as a per second "power". Damage = 24576, Rate = 500/min. 24576*500/60 = 204.8K, which is exactly the Weapon Power listed for stock Balisisk.
However, My Medusa, which isn't quite stock: Damage = 19584 and Fire Rate = 640, so 19584*640/60=208.896k. However, my Medusa power only says it is 200.83k right now. I'm guessing somehow the "Critcal chance" comes in to the calculation somehow, but I haven't figured out how yet.
Yeah, I keep hoping someone will explain critical chance to me.
The heavy is just fun to try and hold steady. You still end up spraying all over the place, but sometimes it evens out - even on a moving target.
After looking if over, I'm not sure my first thoughts are right, or Glu (more likely) took shortcuts and are calculating some weapons wrong. I was just scrolling through and guns with a 900 fire rate still are only showing a weapon power of Damage * 10. Which is what you would get for a 600 fire rate Power = Damage * 600/60 is the same as Power = Damage * 10. Did Glu miscalculate and just times all the damages by 10, forgetting they are 900 fire rates? I don't know, but I am curious now.
HANDLES, can't you just delete this post?
