Level 2 v. Level 3 bullets?

[geekbot]

Is there a difference between level 2 bullets and level 3 bullets in TW? I couldn't find anything about the settings of TW.

The reason I'm asking is I was wondering if a base full of lanc bullets is the same as a base full of wb bullets (ignoring multi). Because I heard lancs are the leet new basing ship.

well i would have to say no, there really is no difference between lv 2 and lv 3 bullets except MAYBE a greater chance of a lv 2 bullet being a dud but i dont think that is the case. And lanc are definately not the new l33t basing ship. Sry but they suck at basing, spiders will always be the best when it comes to base defense.

EDIT: Blue cant type at 4AM

L2 bullets do less damage than L3 bullets, leading to an increased dud rate.

the person that said that lancs are the new ship for basing doesn't know anything about basing.

I disagree blood. The dud rate is probably more (at least in my experience) with wb bullets than lanc bullets. This is due to the fact that wb bullets are faster.

Well actually id have to say that the warbirds bullets would have a greater dud rate because there is only 1 of them. With a lanc there are 2 to 4 bullets, so there really is no dud rate with the lanc.

Thanks Blood. That's what I was looking for.

When bullets hit you, they reduce your energy by a random amount. If they don't do enough damage to kill you, that's called a dud. It has nothing to do with how many or how fast the bullets are.

And also, lancs rule the base.

L2 is WEAKER u dorks. L3 is stronger. dud rate is higher with lancs... the only reason you think that wb bullets have higher dud rate is because of lag.. wat you think is a dud is most likely lag.. eat.. w/e ..

That's what they say in elim. But what do they know?
I think duds are there mainly because of random damage.

well i dunno, if you have ever spider-terred you would know that the enemy seems to be able to fucking inhale the bullets before dying. they DO seem to do less damage because of speed in that case maybe it has to do with lag. another thing i noticed when the server was laggin yesterday was that not only was i eating shots from lag (or so i heard) but i swear about 5 or 6 true duds did occur on me. it was almost as if the amount of duds correlated with the amount of server lag.

they don't.


Perhaps you were just playing in a dud happy arena like ufc, where I guess the wb bullets were weakened because about every 4th shot in ufc is a dud. I was once hit with duds 3 times in a row in ufc while I was flying around.

Theoritically L2 bullets should be weaker than L3 bullets, and should dud more, but who knows if the settings actually made the L2 bullets weaker or just the same as L3 bullets or what.

Only to the person who shot it.... If I eat, I don't think it hit me, if it was a dud, it hit me but didn't kill me.
