Thread: Voss vs. Baur

The choice comes down to a difference of mindset, not only skill. You always want to meet the enemy on your terms and each weapon has a different advantage. I try to get into CQC to take advantage of the Voss's strengths, but that's just how I play. If I am trying to take a flag I know I can expect some enemies to be right on top of me which is exactly where the Voss shines.

I've noticed people have been using the Baur more since its on kits that I have been picking up. As such I've had a chance to try it again and frankly, I'm not getting the hype.

For some reason I initially had a assumption that the Baur had superior accuracy, and perhaps it's because I wasn't as familiar with it but I wasn't as impressed as I thought I would be. Going back to mindset, I tend to be in squads that are moving a lot and trying to get from location to location, as such I encounter more CQC which again points to the Voss.

In regards to single fire, I’d rather take more shots which each have a chance to get a head shot compared to having to aim my shot, handle the recoil, reset and try again. I’m no mathematician but but I like spray and pray better. Most engagements are won in the matter of a second and getting those bullets out there is priority.

Also, I think from a tactical point of view Sc1ence got it right on that at longer ranges enemies can be revived with less fear. Not to mention the giant gorilla in the room for long range, namely rockets. At long range NOTHING compares. Why use a bullet when you can blow up an enemy and the guy who’s trying to revive him?

Comparatively, the Voss’s weaknesses aren’t substantial enough to take away from it’s advantages which is why it remains my most trusted weapon when going assault.
