Talk:Opticor Vandal/@comment-36642394-20190312181806

Right so after maxing and playing around with this thing.

Eh all i can say it could have been a lot worse.

Its fun and much faster to use without having to sacrifice a mod slot for utility.

It certainly won't 1-2 shot lvl 145 heavies / bombards anymore tho

but at least its still Sortie / Arbitrations viable so meh not the worst gun but certainly not Opticor anymore.

As for those who say it has better DPS than Opticor i find it hard to believe:

Opticor with Vile Acceleration still beats Opticor Vandal on all aspects except reload speed.

Cause that extra mag size and charge rate is wasted on Vandal trying to kill a heavy unit with several shots while Opticor needs only 1 max 2 shots (I did extensive testing in several scenarios and this is especially noticable vs armored targets) aswell as Opticor still has good crowd capabilities because you know it still has that wide ass beam with punch through.
