SVA-88
This gun is giving me trouble how. How in the flipping hell are you supposed to use this thing. Didn't have trouble with the Orion, Pulsar LSW or the NS-15

It's basically a LSW, but slightly worse.

I mean compensator and a grip on HVA it's pretty good on a 2x sight. Might wanna turn your FOV up. It helps with these guns, and use it like a LSW, more reserved
SVA-88 is one of those guns that's sorta bi polar. People either love it or they hate it. Keep your distance with it and use the weapon where it's strongest, at mid to long range.

Yea. The funny thing is I like to use the weapons that are long range indoors and it's pretty fun. So yea it's up to you on how to use it

Hey you can always push weapons. I peg light assaults in mid flight from 200-250 yards in the head with my Orion but I'd argue that that LMG is more suited for CQC, likewise I'll kill people from long-mid to long range with a Sirius too dumping a mag in their general direction and getting the kill if need be.

However, you'll need to work less and get less frustrated if you work to the weapon's strengths.

Yea. Lol that is my NC life. Well I have always used weapons to how I feel right. If I feel a long range is good at CQC then I use it for CQC. Don't let its design limit you

How do people deal with the vanu recoil? Orion is amazing but i have trouble with nearly all the others (Kinda allright with the ursa and slightly okay with the flare). I find it is much harder to controll then TR or NC recoil. I got the SVa-88 and i find the NS-15m to give me much better results in nearly every situation. I have pretty much switched to NC and TR now because i hate grinding out the vanu LMG's, I cant hit ♥♥♥♥ with them.

Heck i auraxiumed the gauss saw using a 4x scope and still do use the 4x from time to time but i just cant get a grip on the vanu recoil for their LMG's.

Yea vanu is awkward, but it's doable.
It's just the 698 rpm and recoil and damage combo hat is killing it. Well it's very controllable, but at slower rpm it's weird, and the lower damage is meh, just like a less powerful NS15 so....
Really jus play with it

I often use the TR equivalent T16 Rhino and I love it. It suffers from lower fire rate and a standard 143 damage per bullet, but it has very easy to control recoil and is accurate at long range. I love it for mid range fights.

The Polaris is the equivalent of the T16, not the SVA.

What would the TR's equivalent to the SVA then? The Bull? The Bull and Rhino already share pretty similar stats anyways....

it would quite ironically be closer to the CARV than the T16. the CARV is standard TR ROF and and standard damage. (750 rpm and 143 damage)
the SVA 88 is standard VS ROF and standard damage.(698 rpm and 143 damage) it is quite more controllable, and it USED to have a 0.75 ADS speed. thats what made it a great gun other than contrability and they took it away. so really......the gun is meh now
