Wanted to see what are good, average and poor stats for gauss rifle accuracy. Check your stats and post them here so I can get an idea how good or bad of a shot I am. My current clan gauss stats are as follows (inner sphere guys post your gauss stats):
C-GAUSS RIFLE 312 10,725 6,071 56.61% 1 day 06:57:52 91,779

Hopefully these are at least mediocre so I don't look like a total scrub.

IS Gauss 50%.

C-Gauss 52%.

IS ERPPC 57%.

CERPPC 56.5%.

Missed a lot of shots with the Gauss thanks to macros. And people say macroes are cheating.

Well, I might as well lay myself down as for a baseline. I don't consider myself good with Gauss, I've hardly used it.

C-GAUSS RIFLE
Shots: 75
Hits: 47
Acc%: 62.67%
Dam: 712

I haven't touched an IS Gauss.


For sniping, I generally use my RVN-3L

ER LARGE LASER
Shots: 4,392
Hits: 3,770
Acc% 85.84%
Dam: 19,325

Definitely easier to use than Gauss. I constantly miss my charge window and lose the shot.

[Felicitatem Parco]

I would post my sniping information but that could potentially give away my tactics and position...

I use gauss more as a midrange weapon to complement cERML and cLPL, it's not really that great for dedicated "sniping".

IS Gauss: (41 matches) 56.11%

Clan gauss: (401 matches) 61.80%



Btw, in general, I wouldn't trust weapon stats. But if you're interested, here are all of mine: https://docs.google....#gid=1520896091

[kapusta11]

IS Gauss 67.72%
C Gauss 67.75%

Funny how people whine about instant convergence pinpoint easymode accuracy when most people's accuracy stat is below 70%. But there's more, it's a chance to land a hit and not necessary to hit the component you were aiming for. So if you take 70% (or whatever your accuracy) of your normal accuracy you'll get (49%) an estimated chance to hit exactly where you were aiming for, well unless it's a cockpit.

Accuracy of the shot is unrelated to the convergence question. Pinpoint convergence damage is annoying as all weapons hit the same location indiscriminate of intended panel (My LL accuracy sits between 80% and 86% depending on type. That's a lot of lasers hitting the same target (please don't reply based on burn time))

Whether most players don't hit 70% stats means close to nothing:

My PPC stats are around 52% as compared to 60-ish on the gauss. Yet, I know I'm much more accurate and lethal (yes, single pannel convergence kills) at medium range in my BJ-3 and Rifleman than in my gauss builds.
Reason is I tend to miss a lot of shots on long range light scaring and UAV shots,...

[TercieI]

65&67%. I'm terrible with gauss rifles.

[Obadiah333]

Lot of sharp shooters around here. Looks like I might be better off switching to an LBX. I'm curious if it counts friendly fire - you know that guy that jumps in front of you when you are zoomed in with advance zoom and you gauss him in the back. Then he gets mad because you shot him. lol. I love that.

[Marmon Rzohr]

Haven't used the IS Gauss much, so stats aren't that relevant.

C-GAUSS RIFLE Matches: 803 Fired: 45,778 Hits: 30,383
Acc: 66.37%

There seems to be a flaw in the stat tracking system though... the "Fired" column seems to count each time you charge your gauss up. This is obvious from my stats as it would seem that I fire 58 shots per match, when most of my builds with the Gauss rifle have only 30 rounds.

Either that or the number of matches is off.

This sort of brings me to another interesting thing about weapons like the PPC or the Gauss..

When sniping and using weapons like that it's often not just how accurate you are, but rather the amount of shots you take. Lots of people I see in PUGs tend to fire only on easy shots or simply aren't in a position to fire often enough - meaning that raw aim is often less of an issue than positioning when it come to how much you affect the match.

An interesting thing I read years ago about world of tanks compared the average stats of very good "blue" players to exceptional "purple" players. Both groups of players had very similar accuracy stats, but the average "purple" player had significantly more shots fired per game, meaning they played faster and affected each game much more on average.
