What M3 level are those numbers for Smoky? At M3 (according to new stats) Smoky would do damage in range of 55 down to 35 depending on range. The critical listed at 60. Now, if it does 60 damage on critical regardless of range that would certainly mitigate some of the nerfing. Would make it truly a long range weapon.

It... um... SUX. :angry:

Not sure why anyone would buy an M3 Hornet after the re-balance. Slower than Wasp, same armor and more expensive. Makes no sense. I have M3 Hornet, M3 Viking, M3 Isida and M2 Smoky (was looking forward to ranking and upgrading. But now ... :blink: ) If I wanted a Hunter I would have bought a Hunter. And now I might as well buy Thunder M3 since at least it has splash damage. Smoky's "new" critical is pathetic. A 25% chance to get a 9% increase in damage. Wow :rolleyes:

And also weaker. Slower re-load time. Slight damage increase with a major nerf in critical damage. You realize the critical damage of M3 Smoky is less than the min damage of M3 Thunder right?
