P90 Post 1.3

[Tobacco]

I didn't read anywhere Pre 1.3's release that they were gonna tweak the P90, but it sounds like they increased the Fire Rate. I didn't use it very much before 1.3 because, well if you ever used it you'd know it's not worth it, especially if you've unlocked the DAO. But, I switched to it by accident this morning while playing on Moders and haven't been able to put it down? IT's a shredder Now

Re: P90 Post 1.3

I think what has happened (I dont use it myself mind, so I may be wrong) is that they increased the speed of its shot in a patch before but did not increase the sound effect speed - I saw a number of comments on this at the time. Maybe now they have changed the sound as well?

Re: P90 Post 1.3

I will have to agree with you 100% Tobacco! I used the P90 alot in 1.2, but since 1.3 I also have not been able to put it down. I am getting kills with it now that I could never get in 1.2. It just seems strange that this is happening just because they fixed the animation and sound to reflect its true 900 rounds per minute fire rate. Just last night I shredded 4 enemy soldiers trying to get me off their flag, in a matter of seconds they were all laying belly up!

I have asked [DUCKS]Black_Duck_1, the man behind the sticky "Weapons Chart" here at TotalBF2 to confirm this in this thread:

Re: P90 Post 1.3

It's exactly the same as it was in 1.2, they just finally fixed the sound. It is a nice little gun though, though it is still not quite as cool as the MP7 IMO.

Re: P90 Post 1.3

I think they increased the rate of fire with the previous patch. Anyway, even though it has exactly same rate of fire and accuracy as the mp7, somehow I haven't had luck with it, and it always gets me killed, unlike the little mp7 which I love.

Re: P90 Post 1.3

I havent noticed any difference in it except the sound

If sound is the only change it's funny how many people were fooled into thinking it actually fires faster

Sure that is what was said and that is what teh changelog indicates. EA also said this last patch was going to be the best one yet....Apparently all that doesn;t mean much. I never noticed any difference....
I would suspect that they didn;t do it last patch but left the changelog the same to make themselves look good. With this last patch I doubt they made any changes either, they just sped up the sound, the gun still blows.

Re: P90 Post 1.3

The P90 was made BEAST in 1.22, now it SOUNDS BEAST as well.

Maybe it's beast but not for me. I always get killed when I have it.

The P90 is an awesome weapon. Put it together with AT's body armour and the AT missile and you have a very versitile class.

The Assault class's G3/AK101 is superior, but they are no match for tanks.

The engineer's MP7 is almost identical, but they don't get body armour or the AT missile.

The P90 was an EXCELLENT addition to the class, and is far superior to both the MP5 and Chinese default submg, marginally superior to the PP-19, and is close in usefulness to the DAO. The DAO has high first time power, but no range, and woeful reload. The P90 has awesome clip size, great rate of fire and can even be used at range if pressured.

Re: P90 Post 1.3

The RPM has not increased post 1.3 but, as posted above, the sound matches this correctly now. The beastly sound of this firing off a clip gives a person a psychological effect making them feel like they can easily rip through the enemy. IMO, this is why everyone is performing better.

I totally agree that P90 is much better than MP5 and the chinese SMG that was probably designed during the WWII, but I'm just saying that so far I haven't had good luck with it. In fact I've done better with the PP-19. I'm not saying that is bad, simply that was my experience so far. Maybe once I learn how to use it, it'll do better. Bottom line, I would still take the DAO out of all, even though it's a close combat weapon. I've been able to snipe long distance target with the Eryx/SRAW so far.

Re: P90 Post 1.3

I just unlocked the p90 so I have yet to learn the recoil/shot spread of it but im sure it is a nice addition to my armory :) It helps when im on a medium distance combat map and I cant use the mighty DAO.

Edit: And it saves me from using that god awful chinese AT weapon.
