M4 and Timik

(sonsofaugust5) #1

The guns are too similar. The timik looks like an AK-47, which should have more damage per shot in my opinion, than an m4a1. The timik sounds like a heavy hitter but does 12 damage. If the damage were to increase, there would be more options. M4a1 at 12 damage , Timik at 14 or whatever, Burst rifles at 17-18, and the dreiss at 26

Put the Timik at 15 damage since it has more recoil

It reminds me of the SMG 9 and the Crotzni, Same damage, one shoots more straight while one has more DPS

Timik does 14 damage like m4, but has significantly more range and lower reload time at the cost of higher (but not huge) bloom.

If I remember correctly isn’t that just 0.1 seconds faster? SD should really put some changes to make the M4 the SMG-9 of Rifles and the Timik the Crotzni

More like 16 damage, It might be just minor nitpicking for me but it having the same damage as the M4 just isn’t right.
It’s like shooting red barrels and not expecting them to blow up, you know?

As so its 14 and not 12. That makes more sense. I still think it should be a bit stronger than the m4a1.

I want it to be higher damage, lower rate of fire, more recoil but make it predictable so that you can offset it through enough discipline. It would differentiate it from the M4 and give people another gun to choose if they want a higher skill ceiling but potentially higher reward weapon in a lot of situations.

I agree. Your explanation is perfect. Higher damage, lower rate of fire than m4 but not as slow as a dreiss. More like an AK less like an M4. I wonder if they actually ready these forum posts.

For the slight RPM upgrade Timik has, some people actually don’t know how powerful it is. The slight increase in its TTK actually gives it a .01 second slower TTK on most mercs when compared to the K121, thus it can kill almost as fast. I don’t mind it, my only problem with the game is that the weapons are very bland. (and the Timik is actually a AK-12 variant of some sort which fires a round similar to the 5.56 which is what the M4 uses, thus they have the same damage)

I suppose we could give it 133 ms for the firing interval an up the damage to 16.
