Eu Vs Pac

Wolfseven · 11-02-2006, 10:46 PM

has anyone noticed how much advantage the PAC has, in every game I have played the PAC keeps winning. I havent played the PAC for some reason the server puts me on the EU side every single time.

Hmm, looks like it's just you, dragging your team down :P

I do notice I prefer playing PAC for some reason though. I thought it was because I get the chance to drive a hovertank, but maybe it's more serious.

There are advantages and disadvantages to each side I believe.

Examples:

The PAC tank is VERY manuverable in the field and in a head on fight with other vehicles it'll be a sorry driver that ever lets them get in anything other than a hit on the front armor. The ability to circle strafe and dodge sideways behind cover is nice when taken advantage of. Of course as a stationary gun platfrom the tank sways and drifts too much to get an accurate shot off at long range with your sights zoomed it. Another piece of bad news is the tank, along with almost all PAC vehicles I noticed, take a little longer to recover from the effects of an EMP hit.

The EU tank is not quite as manuverable, but is definately more stable and has a wider field of fire from a stationary position. You could back it into a building and make use of the stable base to snipe at long range targets if you adjust for trajectory. In close quarters and small streets the EU's ability to track its target with the turret is a lot better for drawing a bead then the odd side sliding you have to pull off with PAC tanks. Another advantage is the EU tanks recover faster from an EMP strike than the PAC tank meaning if your CO drops an EMP strike on both tanks the EU will have a small quick draw advantage.

The EU chain guns (Walker and Troopship guns) do some damage against light/medium armor, but have a higher rate of fire and does subsequently more damage against infantry. The PAC cannons (again Walker and Troopship guns) do some damage against light/medium armor, but fire slightly slower and do a little less damage against infantry.

All in all I think the balance is pretty good between the two sides and the one with the superior strategic and tactical plan will prevail. Its also murphy's law that the moment you switch teams your team will start losing regardless of how much it was dominating before.

Funny, my experience has been the opposite. But I mainly play support and I favor the EU LMG over the Shuko.

Heh, the same opposite here. I prefer PAC for Shuko indeed. It rocks, fastly and deadly. It's accurate enough and its 200 bullet clip give it more ability to suppress a bit longer.

I just take whatever gun I'm given and kill with it. I'm good at killing

I noticed the scores last night were pretty tight...I think EU won 2 of the three maps but none were higher than 20 points. Good rounds last night on Conquest.
