Jackhammer, M95, or Dao-12

[Tahalee]

Well i'm nearing my next unlock and i was hoping you people can help me on what to unlock. I play engineer and sniper equally. But i love shotguns and the Dao-12 sounds tempting. But i have heard a lot of bad about the m-95. So i have no idea.

DAO is my pick. Handy shotgun and its great for close range.

Jackhammer is the coolest looking out of them all. IF IT LOOKS COOL IT MUST RULE.

Yah the 12 shots on the Dao-12 is very tempting. But the full auto on the jackhammer is tempting as well.

Re: Jackhammer, M95, or Dao-12

DAO-12: 12x8 Damage, 12 rounds, huge reload time, 56 rounds in reserve

Jackhammer: 15x8 Damage, 7 Rounds, medium Reload time, 49 rounds in reserve

M95: 95 Damage, 5 rounds, low reload time, 25 Rounds in reserve

DAO-12: Good improvement over the SMGs. Range is low, damage is medium.

Jackhammer: Only improvement over the MEC shottie, still only medium damage (15x8) compared to the pumps (25x8) and low range

M95: Accruacy is that of the SVD, however, the damage is 98%, even on armored targets. Can penetrate glass. Long range. (NOTE: For Extreme long range combat, the M24 is superior)

All in all, I like the Jackhammer most because of the full auto, but you WILL burn through a LOT of ammo VERY fast.

The M95 is a very good rifle, dispite what others say. They dont know how to use it. It is effective at giving heli whores one hell of a headache!

The DAO-12 is a good improvement over all the SMGs, but AT kits don't get repair points (Hell, engies have a hard time getting those!!)

M95 or die

Re: Jackhammer, M95, or Dao-12

someone said DAO. another one said JH and he said M95.
NEVER ask what weapon to unlock. you decide, by yourself.

like fixing and repairing stuff? take the jackhammer.
like sniping? take the m95.
like to take out armored vehicles? take the dao.

Re: Jackhammer, M95, or Dao-12

the dao is crap... it cant kill anything until you put down about 7 shots into some guys face at about 3 meters....

i suggest the m95 becasue its able to replace the crappy MEC and PLA sniper rifles.. The SMG's for the AT are just fine and the really strong shotgun for the engineers are perfect, just get the m95.

DAO-12

The people that say it's a worthless gun, shouldn't be playing this game. However, I definitely agree with the 'unlock whatever kit you play the most' theory.

Re: Jackhammer, M95, or Dao-12

I always say your first unlock should be the kit you play the most.

That's what I did and I haven't regretted it one second. I LOVE my DAO-12!!

Re: Jackhammer, M95, or Dao-12

Like others have said, go with your playing style. I personally choose the M95 because the MEC and PLA's snipers are crap (to me at least). But if your a close range guy, go with one of the shotguns. And for shotguns, refer to the following:

IF IT LOOKS COOL IT MUST RULE.

I mean, COME ON! IT RHYMES!

Re: Jackhammer, M95, or Dao-12

Unlock whatever class you play as most.

Comparing the weapons alone, the DAO-12 and Jackhammer are very similar. So similar that it really comes down to personal preference. The DAO-12 is semi-automatic, has 12 rounds in the magazine, and has a relatively small recoil. The Jackhammer on the other hand is fully automatic, 12 rounds in each magazine, does slightly more damage, and has a pretty nasty recoil.

What you really need to look at is what the kits gain by their unlockables. The engineer becomes a powerful CQC soldier with the Jackhammer, but with no armor your survivability is a problem. You also have to remember that if you are engineer you will likely spend most of your time in, or near vehicles.

Anti-Tank on the other hand becomes much more powerful with the DAO-12. In my opinion, the SMGs are next to useless, so anything is better than them. The DAO-12 is a very effective CQC weapon, much better than the SMGs in every way.

The Anti-Tank class in my opinion gains more from their unlockable than the Engineer does. However, I cannot stress this enough, pick the weapon for the class you play as most. If you are a dedicated Engineer (like me ) then go for the Jackhammer. If you find yourself playing as Anti-Tank more, get the DAO-12.

As for the M95, forget about it. A sniper cannot use vehicles effectively or assault a flag. Besides, the M95 is bolt action, and has the same exact accuracy as the semi-automatic snipers. Which means you will miss shots you would normally make with the M24.
