about revolvers

[mimigou]

i just buy a dynax 8000
it is powerful than a phantom cruise?
i use it as secondary weapon
but i always shot and cant hit..

any learning of using revolvers ?

Check your opponents pings (press tab) and you´ll see how much you have to lead shots (each 100 ping = about 1 body lenght, I recall)

Don´t shoot too fast, recoil messes up aiming sometimes, sso either swap to different weapon and back or wait a small moment between shots.

I´m not sure but I remember dynax being the less effective, yet faster revolver series with more bullets per clip.

Can´t help too much with learning part, just play the game, you´ll eventually learn how to use.

Hopefully this helps a bit

The dynax 8000 has 8 shots in a clip doing 36 damage each shot.
The Phantom Cruise N has 6 shots in a clip doing 46 damage each shot.

Thus, if you hit a full clip for each one, the dynax does 8x36=288 damage, while the Cruise does 6x46=276 damage. So the dynax DOES do a bit more damage than the cruise, however to get that damage you have to have good aim for 8 shots rather than 6.

And neon's right about leading shots: about 1 body length per 100 ping.

eh, imo take the phantom revs, tho lower rounds you wont hit your enemy too much with revs anyway. so when u do hit them you want to make it count.

Yea they do more damage, but screw the secondary Make them your Primary, Thats all i use Revs primary and one Pistol as a secondary, and it ownzers And yea 100 ping is about half a second between you two, so if they jump, then half a second later you see them jump, so yea try to aim maybe in front of them just a bit.

I use phantoms as my primaries myself (your guy looks so cool holding dual revolvers), I reload alot so the low ammo per clip isnt an issue with me.
Also Dynax are lighter then phantoms, so keep that in mind also.

Sometimes people use halfstep the majority of the time with dual revs to hit their opponent. Try that or just tumble or stay in one spot and shoot. It helps with the accuracy.

[Donutholes]

I find myself JSDing with them often and still being able to hit the target often (though not always.).

[Hymnosi]

I'm told that the Phantom Cruise series has a much higher accuracy rating than the Dynax series, although I've never actually tested it.

[_Zephyre_]

It's the other way round. Dynaxes are much more accurate that PCNs. Heck, Phantom Cruises are inaccurate as hell.

[Azeroth]

The only way the Danacies will be more useful than the PCNs are if you are EXTREMELY pressed for weight. Revolvers are about spike damage, not spraying.

[Anthop]

Um.... Actually I just recently converted to the Dynaxes from the Phantom series. They're faster, hold more bullets, and are more accurate. Sure, you >do< have to "hit more shots" but, in reality, you probably do more damage with the Dynaxes (especially if you're not too sure about your aim) because you get more >chances< to hit the enemy.

I'll be using Dynaxes for awhile, but maybe I'll try the PCNs again when I have better accuracy and speed.

Tsuteto posted a few tips a short while back on how to use revovlers. I'd give them a look. There was this whole thread on accuracy with some good comments in there by Tsu and NSman.

In response to the poster who stated that revolvers are about "spike" damage... Dynax have a lower delay than the other revolvers. In other words, you can get more low damage shots in. This is like comparing katanas and kodachis... I use kodachis and most normal katana fighters are crushed because of the fact that I can lay in two hits in the time they can do one. If not, my quick slash is much faster. The same goes for these two revolvers. If you can make every shot count, go for Phantom Cruise N's... (Hands down...) If you need some balance, go for Dynax.

Low delay has nothing to deal with putting low damage shots in, its just the time it takes before you can shoot again, and with revolvers/pistols that doesn't matter, if you want to be good with revolvers dont constantly tap or hold, you tap, wait, tap wait, no matter what pistol or revolver im using i shoot at the same rate,

[mimigou]

but why when i use revolvers..
i think i had aim it carefully and shot
but still didnt appear the "HIT" words?
