eh not quite,
Rarden is loaded with a 3 round clip, the gun can hold two, three round clips for a total of six rounds ready to fire. However you must load another clip after the first clip is depleted otherwise you have to cock the gun again which takes a hot minute. So doctrine is to fire off three rounds, load three rounds, fire off three rounds etc, always leaving a clip in the gun. Originally the warrior had 6 round belts with a longer reload, with the Fox they changed all rardens to 3 round clips with a pretty quick reload, it’s IMO significantly better.
mmm, that might be because of a lesser know mechanic in WT, if you’re holding fire when the gun reloads, you get worse dispersion, which stacks over time. This applies to intraclip/belt reloads (aswell as generally). Personally I have found single shots to be pretty much exactly where I’m aiming.
I only test dispersion in single round shots. I can confidently say at 1 click the rounds fired 10 or more will not have a grouping of less than 1x1 meter. The Rarden cannon has sub 1 MILRAD accuracy at 1000 meters. To put that into perspective a precision rifle is considered impressive if it has sub 1 MOA precision at just 100 yards. Mrad and MOA are very similar just used for different measurements meters vs yards.
I see Technically you should have an option to load 3 or 6 rounds for the auto feed. With 90RPM being the fire rate. 3 than reload is honestly fine with me as well would just be nice to see both modeled.
The Accuracy is definitely lacking. Every round fired from 1000 meters would all land withing an area 1/3 the size of a T-72 front plate. Every shot zero outliers. The Rarden was remarkable in its accuracy.
So with the Rapier confirmed in the trailer, do we know what missiles/version we got from the limited clips seen? IE if it has any of the later upgrades/missiles, or if its bare bones 1980 stock?
Do we have details on say how much improved other the older missiles. It’s been a long time since I read up on rapier stuff would have been on the old forums.
