I feel like they're about optimally used on urbies.

Run like a headless chicken among your assaults, and the opfor is more likely to shoot the fatties. So you get that facetime you need.

And you get pretty hilarious games too.

That aint work... cause (I use RAC's and I know that well): - YOU NEED TO FACE-GUIDE THE TARGET ALL THE TIME. Any turn from pointing CT, 80% of the damage goes into sorounding texture instead of hitting your victim.
So... you can continue to run like headless chick on Urbie, till you get slapped by SRM's or PPC's and endup smoking in the ditch.

I'm noticing a strong correlation between performance stats and those saying 'RACs are OP!'.

I'm noticing they all seem to hide their tier. Their performance could be anywhere. The guy complaining in that two page thread in the patch feedback forum is slightly above average in kdr and wlr.

RAC are just annoyingly paralyzing. Not from screen shake but from the siezer causing flash and fire....

Thats not their problem, their problem is that while 1 rac5 does 40 dmg in 5 seconds, because of spin up the uac5 does the same...

0:00-5
0:50-10
1.66-15
2.16-20
3:12-25
3:62-30
4:78-35
5:28-40

this is all the info you need about RACS. The numbers do not lie, they are pretty lousy

What is this ****, are RACs the new LRMs? Scrubs whining OP and experienced players calling them trash tier weapons?

pretty much. The number of people who play LRMs correctly are probably about the same as the number who play RACs correctly, and of course they are both vastly outnumbered by the ones who play them poorly.

[Zergling]

And like LRMs, they are generally only good against potatoes.

[TripleEhBeef]

I find it funny that during PTS RACs were declared dead on arrival. Then on release with a slight DPS tweak, threads declaring them OP pop up.

Had stranger things happen.

Someone yesterday could not understand that the bug applying Artemis bonuses to MRMs was only present in the PTS and was fixed for release.

So he started shooting me...

Just managed to lock down half the citadel on river in my Rac5 Urbie, 700m lovetaps from across the water kept a MC2, Whammy, Hunchy and BJ all cowering in cover whilst the rest of my team pushed the other side.... hilarious until I ran out of ammo...

As if that matters a lot.

To be fair it does matter a bit, as reference on some sort. But it guiding balance, no it does not. It's game, not real life, it's supposed to be fair.

Atm game and RAC are fair, and balanced... or you want them to be like in the FASA Lore? I'm fine with that... but than don't cry about the "RAC'are OP".

I never said that RAC were OP, however after analyzing it, the RAC are in a bad spot.

[C4NC3R]

People, until youl gonna dive in another circle of throwing arguments into each other... keep in mind that after TRO 3069 comes TRO 3081. And brings us an... RAC20 Which is four times... 4 TIMES CARL, powerfull than RAC5.

RACs in CQB spot, as was always. Cause... giviing a belt firing autocannon AC5 or UAC5 range is a bit insanity.
