It easier to indemnify the animation of rockets

PTRS have a visual queue one can see the the entity changing magazine, it is harder to spot but it there. Or one can simply counter the shots there fire 6. One can even move after each shot since the CD is around 2 secs.

Piat do have a visual queue for reloading.

I wasn't clear enough. They don't have a CLEAR visual queue to use during a real game. I check after the test were done but that wouldn't be how you would ever play the game, specially trying to zoom in to see them better.

The way i did the test was also stretching it out, as i was basically microing a single unit while chasing for so long.

TDL penals with 3 PTRSs which cost rufly the same as 1 zook\schreck\piat are able to take more then half of the HP PV.

Would be actually funny to see, how they pefrom compared to 1 schreck\zook\piat

Note that this was chasing a PV with engine dmg, without MG upgrade nor vet after around 200 range. If you want to have some reference, that's almost the distance between 2 base sectors on 1v1 maps (IIRC it's more or less 250 on avg).

At first i thought about a more realistic 60/100 range test but it would had lead to greater variance in performance (even more so than now) and it would be harder to read the results as well.

PTRS just got their ready aim time massively reduced so that's no longer the case. They will be good at chasing vehicles too now, as well as having good alpha damage (at least versus lights). PTRS has more range too (40 vs 35) so they'll be harder to kite or run away from than other AT infantry. They can't be pushed around when engaging a vehicle in the open. And with 3 PTRS now they can have similar DPM to Bazookas or Panzerschecks unless the latter get pretty lucky RNG (pens for Bazookas and hits for Panzerschrecks).

Indeed but it still feels clunky to use. After testing several units head on i'm a bit more surprised about their performance, even if it's inferior to others as i expected it to do much worst. I think the issue is that it feels like "invisible" dmg compared to the other AT infantry which have rocket with them.

While the amount of cases is small (just 3 with each) i think this give a rough sense of what i saw.

-Panther at full HP starts with engine dmg and backpedals till the middle of the map (blue line on the test range).
-Infantry starts at 1st line of wires. PV starts at 2nd line of wires and changes faction at the 3rd.
-Units chase till the PV touches the line upon which they still fire if they are in range.
-They all started at vet 3 and there's patches of light cover





Notes:
-Each color marks at which point the PV dies. In case of Penals you can see how much HP left the PV had.
-This is not perfect micro as sometimes i stopped and have to right click again to move immediately cause i miss time their reload.
-For Rangers, they had 3 Zooks.
-I had to repeat a RET test cause the first 2 shots of the PV somehow connected on the models. RNGesus.
-Surprising the heavy variance i had with the PIAT. Somehow the first test was the best (basically no practice on timing) with almost all shots penning at the beginning. They were not 5 men Sappers cause i used the other version of the mod and didn't had a way to spawn a UKF HQ.

While you might had gotten bored of say SC2/CS GO, the trends are not there that the general public is abandoning those games in an alarming way. And the CSGO steam numbers don't show that at all.

SC2 made the right call to give attention to other modes outside automatch. It's still the biggest RTS played by quite a big margin, even if we discount the people who play coop/arcade. The SC2 scene suffered after the first years of game released due to stale meta and poor handling of tournaments from Blizz but it's not like it's a bad formula for people who like it. Specially now during the last years with the resurgences of players from other countries outside Korea. Even if Blizz pull the plug this year, i don't think it's going to go anywhere.

Hell, look at what happened with AoE2 during the last 2 years and what the effort of basically a single person did to the scene (Hidden Cup).

What the RTS genre needs is a clear differentiation between automatch/base game and more "for the lulz"/coop modes.


I'm not sure which is the biggest tournament for PUBG, but this year Katowice CSGO tournament had over a million peak viewer number. The only thing i found about PUBG biggest tournament/series put it barely above 100K peak viewers.

The closest thing which can dethrone CS:GO is another pseudo clone, Valorant.

Also, could Hunt be a +25% instead of 20%? that would make the ability at the USF fire-on-move level, instead of another weird margin.

Not sure how the bonus was implemented (multiplicative as most cases or hard coded to be a specific value), cause if it's not the latter, then it's even further less than what you expect.
