And there are some serious unresolved issues...

Just for starters, half the tool tips are either misleading or just plain wrong... nobody has time to go through 13 years of patch notes to track down what tool tip should read.

Is it really that hard to up date the tool tips every time things get changed?

Just one example, C.A.S.E. does NOT work like the tool tip says it works, as it also protects the component it is in from ammunition explosions coming from outside of that component (not just keeping ammunition explosions from spreading from the C.A.S.E. protected component to other components).

Another really easy example is the splash damage from PPCs, how hard is it to add that to the tool tip? And I notice the plasma cannon doesn't even mention splash damage. Why not?

Nor are ECM mechanics properly described anywhere, and ECM is a very important part of the game. as a new player I shouldn't need to pair up with a buddy and spend hours in private matches investigating how basic game mechanics work. This is day one stuff, guys.

And I shouldn't need to read through over a decade of forum posts to try and figure this stuff out, that's why tool tips exist, but they aren't being properly used! That's just plain sloppy and lazy, and there is no excuse for this game to be ~13 years old and still have wrong tool tips.


Seriously, how hard can it be to edit some text? There are more examples, this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Another one I just thought of, the fact that machine guns are hit scan weapons, IDK how long I was leading with machineguns and not hitting anything half of the time, because the animation show slow bullets flying that have no relation to the actual machine gun hitting.
