i often was able to watch players taking CTS over Pilums.I often asked them why.
They all responded with "It does more DMG"
Now Pilums has 53p raw (why i call it raw you will see soon)
CTS has 54p raw
Yeah that is reasonable. From the raw DMG perspective they are better.
But Pilums fly much faster then the CTS,if im not wrong,a Speed bonus kicks in,which should make the Pilum deal more DMG then the CTS.
If not Pilums should still out scale CTS on atleast Rag due to the faster throwing which would make its DPS superiour to the CTS.
Am i wrong in any of thoose points?
Is there something secret behind the CTS or are people just silly and see 1 more dmg on CTS and think,yep that thing owns Pilums.
As far as I know, the missile speed only affects their ability to penetrate/break shields. The reason why I'd prefer CTS personally would be looks on the one hand, but more importantly the accuracy on the other hand. I don't know if there's actually a difference in that concern, but CTS seem to go to the bottom right corner of your crosshair, whereas Pilums are rather in the bottom middle. At least that's how I think about it, pretty much all throwables in NI aren't going straight, got probably used to that already.
I´m pretty sure they get a speed bonus just like melee weapons do
