Barb balance??? Options

[M@ster of Dis@ster]

What's the win ratio on Barb now-in-days. I bet Russian out-wins German 2-1 at this point. With all pak shots know, and Russkies having far more, the map has become unbalanced IMO, but would like to know real stats. Are there any?

if your quick you can beat the ppsh sprayers (which in my opinion is 98% of all vets who play barb..) 10 outta 10 times. even with a rifle you can. after spending so much time with a rifle for TWL etc when i go into a server like barb it makes it so much easier to pick off sprayers from a distance where they are not effective.



don't go running at a russian with a kar98.



let him come to you. spraying is not an advantage.

You should aim down the barrel with a PPSH. It puts your spray in a much tighter area, and usually works.



I beat most rifle guys. Of course, I get picked from distance some. But up close it is almost always a win for PPSH, and when at distance I try and sneak up before I start shooting, or dance my way closer, which works a lot.



Rifles are for people who want to work the mid-field and don't use tanks. PPSH's are for base planters, and those who use tanks who often end up in short range battles when they bail. Also for defenders who use tanks but bail to fight players who enter your base.



So what gun is effective for you depends on your style. But in Barb, with all the tanks, working the md-field with a rifle is still dangerous. I can't think of any regular whose main gun is a bolt-action rifle with a 2.00+ kill ratio. I might be wrong on that. Anyone?



But aimming down a barrel with the PPSH works. Check my stats. PPSH is by far my #1 weapon.

well put mr. MoD! all that is exactly right!

i personally love trying to plant bases WITH a rifle though. or maybe a bazooka and pulling out a pistol after they get shell-shock...of course that only works with one guy so if multiple guys run down your screwed haha.



my favorite though, is sniping mom #2 off of the far russian spawn pak so she can't hit G3.
