1. When will deploy 3 for gunner be fixed as it's getting quite frustrating getting headshot when deployed. 2. Why can snipers headshot through the back super thick armor of the tank and gunner? It doesn't really make sense to me as both the gunner and tank have visibly thick armor around the neck/shoulder area.
Deploy 3 is fixed for gunner, I don't know what you're talking about. Snipers can headshot through the back super thick armor using their first passive upgrade. It's armor piercing bullets.
Well today I was deployed with upgrade 3 and got one shot by a sniper, don't know if he was juiced or not but that shouldn't of killed me.
I absolutely agree with this. I actually made a shot while the animation of the shield going down during a deployment.
Even if the face shield is down you could easily spray them with bodyshots while he helplessly tries to undeploy.
You mean, should have, not, should of [sic]. And #2 was already raised by a certain someone. Uber Entertainment, Inc. replied that the current behavior is intentional, and it was implied that it does not even require armor-penetrating bullets. I strongly disagree with the logic behind this decision, however. Even armor-penetrating bullets should not allow a head shot through armor that is clearly much stronger than any other armor in the game. Only railguns should be able to go through the bodies of Tanks, maybe Gunners. Armor penetrating bullets should go through the bodies of bots and humans, but penetrate, not impale the bodies of Tanks (perhaps Gunners). That means by the time it goes through that thick armor behind the head, it has slowed enough to do damage. Not kill in one hit and keep going. Indeed, under any circumstances, it should not be possible to get a headshot on a Gunner or Tank from behind. But good luck getting them to fix that. L. Spiro
I never understood why gunners should be vulnerable to headshots while deployed in level 1 and 2. It's not like they're hard be taken down by other classes in the first place since they become so vulnerable to long range weapons (shurikens anybody?).
