Re: dao-12 reload

You are using the AT and Engi kit's wrong. The weapons are not your primary. These are support type classes, not assault meant to go head to head with other foot troops. You attack armor, then fall back, regroup and attack again with your team. The DAO is for self defense if you need it, and it works very well for that. I wish it used slugs instead of shot, but if you have medium to long range enemy's hitting you, stop standing in the middle of nowhere with no cover. You also have a fairly powerful pistol for those up close and personal surprises.

what makes u think i dont do that :P just when im trying to get to there tanks to take em out stumblung across a load of troops it gets annoying esp as u dont have nades but thats cause u have the sraw/eyrx which i usually save for the armour

Re: dao-12 reload

Dao is fine. I don't mind switching during reload if I need to. Usually I go hide while reloading anyway.

I have been using Engineer abit to go up against regular infantry lately. And it's working somewhat nicely. I get caught in reload or between shells often, but it's fun to take folks out with a blast of pellets in their faces.

Re: dao-12 reload

DAO is fine imo too, awesome gun.

Re: dao-12 reload

DAO is already excellent. Any improvements would make it overpowered. It's my favorite weapon (in time used and kill stats as well as opinion).

Re: dao-12 reload

Pistol for medium range, dao for close...

Re: dao-12 reload

I have lost count of the many times I have turned a corner chasing a tank with my SRAW/ERYX out and I ran into somone and I just squeezed out a AT round right into their face..works fairly well....lol

Re: dao-12 reload

I was a big fan of dao-12 when you could still dolphin dive, bunny hoop and shoot at the same time. It was rather effective. Now it is next to useless.

perhaps if you learned to play the game normally, like most other people you wouldnt rely so heavily on such n00b tactic to be effective...

i dont think the gun was changed in any way that makes it uneffective, so it stands to reason that it isnt the gun, its you

im sure any dolphin diving bunnyhopper could make the same claim about any weapon

Re: dao-12 reload

yeah, now you have to switch weapon and then back again to be able to interupt the reload.

The time that you will spend to switch to different weapon and back can be used to finish the reloading. However if you are in action, drawing your pistol to finish off your enemy is a lot smarter than waiting to reload. My backup pistol has saved my life in so many duels when I've ran out of ammo.

Are you joking??? i can cycle through the weapons and back to the DAO-12 in about quarter of a second (4 taps) if it takes you any longer then that, your probably using the mousewheel to swop weapons, which is a terrible way of doing it as there is no fast-switching.

Re: dao-12 reload

I agree that it is stupid that you can't stop reloading by shooting.

When playing AT I use SRAW or pistol, very rarely the basic LMG, and DAO is on the end of my list. And for CQF I think Jackhammer is still better with its quick reload time. On med range both shotguns are equally inefficient and - unless you play against total newbies you will be killed 2 times before the enemy actually comes into your effective range.

The Jackhammer reloads really slow, i think it's even slower than the bdefault ones! I still love it though.

Re: dao-12 reload

don't complain it's a awesome gun, sure the reload is long but every weapon has it's downside.

Re: dao-12 reload

I think its a brilliant weapon im always kicking arse with it the spread getting tighend up would be realy nice but its good the way it is and theres no problem with the reload time. Like many other people have stated just swap weapons and back i normaly swap to the AT missle get a one shot kill with it ands then swap back.

IMO aswell do not use the pistol for medium range (use your AT missles) your a nutter if you do that a pistol should be your last resort useing a pistol against any carbine or or rifle is litteraly stupid and your asking to be killed.
