    I'm already battling lots of mk6s at 1.7k infamy, so it's not that surprising that there are mi7s at Ace.

    Ya man, mk6s are super common in Ace 1, 2 and even 3. Mk5s have actually moved down to Master, if you'd believe me. The big problem here is that *we the mk5s* know that we're getting outta here soon. I'm gonna be level 39 in a day, for example. Then it's gonna be bye bye mk5 in 2 weeks or so. But what about those poor dudes who are gonna hit a wall as soon as they reach Ace?

    Right bro. Totally see where you’re coming from now and I apologize for not understanding better of your position earlier and the other players before relating my thoughts. That’s kinda sucky and it comes down to see how the devs can or may not be willing to do something about the system for the better of the newer players :eek:

    With all those advantages why snipers are doing the same average amount of damage as blast cannon on the achievments? Can you from "nerf sniper religion" explain?

    No problem, mate. I'd totally love it if Battle Bay made a different ruleset for NML, since sniper is balanced there. Even mortars go from spammy OP to nothing in NML.

    How they would implement it, however, is a different question altogether.

    But there is a decent solution we have been discussing for a while. Spread out the talent trees, making sniper cannons more balanced in the midgame.

    I'd say that it's because of crit chance, and I agree it is balanced in that manner. However, it cannot be compared to other cannons other than the standard cannon because it's a one-combo weapon. Blast and ex cannons are two-combo.

    I’ll have to say that it’s more balanced in NML as most players have better gaming sense and skills (there would still be some retards around, they’re everywhere, but lesser)

    Spreading out talent trees can be a good solution but at this point it wouldn’t have made much difference I reckon, cause the main issue now would be those mk6/7 who’d have maxed talents but are still stuck at lower leagues :/

    It's a really complex situation here, and I'll try to boil it down.

    Mk5s upgraded to mk6. Fine. But the new matchmaker states that ship mks should be balanced. Also fine. This means that the mk6s have to fight other mk6s. This led to those dudes getting taken down by more advanced mk6s.

    Now these mk6s are causing a downward ripple right down to the noob leagues.

    A lot of players combo their snipers with fire bombs and a lot of other players choose to use blast cannon + explosive instead of fire combo. And very few players equip only copies of the same weapon on their boats, makes no sense to ignore its combos.

    I don't think players combo it for the damage boost at all. They do it for the support cred. Look, sniper cannon has a low base damage, and I'm yet to see someone running all burn perks on one. The damage boost is slight. Blast and excannons get a giant boost. Like, 600 points or so at endgame on a t5 epic are you kidding me?

    So yeah. Sniper's damage is almost whole-and-sole crit. Burn is a major part of blast damage.
