Greetings,

Not sure if this belongs here, but I wanted to share this with potential new players.

I discovered something this weekend about what may have been construed as a macro and wanted to share. After playing since Open Beta began, I mean that very same day, I had never known this to be true.

When you chain fire, and hold the firing button, the cycle time is parsed (this I knew); another-words, it takes about, what, .5 seconds for the next weapon to fire, and so on.

But, if you rapid click the fire button, they fire nearly simultaneously, in rapid concession; like what we have been seeing with the 5-6 AC2 Jags.

It has been said that this is a macro driven event, but I doubt that because of my experience with rapid fire mechanisms in place.

I just thought I'd share to even the playing field.

There's another way too:

Setup your weapons on chain fire in one group (say for example 4 ac2's)
so weapon group 2 is all four in chain fire.

Setup another weapon group for non-chained fire.
so weapon group 1 is all four in NON chain fire.

Start firing weapon group 2 for a little then mash weapon group 1 while still holding down weapon group 2.

This basically will make the system fire as fast as possible and works pretty well without macros.

Marcos for dakka dakkas exist. I know several people that use them. You can get a marco like fire rate without using one. But marcos make it a lot easier.
