Quasar VS Expandable Anti-Tank Rocket

[[THT]ElPoutrador / DarkFougere]

Hello !
Since the Quasar was revealed, I only used this one (for what it's supposed to be used for).
I took Quasar over EAR because unlimited ammo yeah ! But I forgot how practical it was.
This update made me come back to ATC and... And... Well THANK YOU very much Arrowhead !
I totally forgot how Quasar was so unpractical (does this word exists ?).

20s reload for quasar +5sec charge = 1:15 for 3 shots in a perfect case (are those numbers correct ?).
70 sec reload (1:14 exactly ?) for 2 shots, packs a better punch, half-to-a second to use it.

Finally, when you're at fight with several chargers (or even one finally), the Quasar is really bad because of the charging time is a lot of cases. And the new reload time makes me feel it's obsolete.
On the other hand, EAR, if you spam calling it, while being a little smart, you always have one or two lying around behind you so if you're outnumbered, you can fall back (which tactically is already a good solution if you're not too much in a hurry) and you pack a better punch against titans.

This thread is incomplete because I haven't tried the two stratagems on Automatons, but against Terminids, Quasar has cleary done his time and is totally obsolete (before this nerf, I find that we could argue about it, especially for flying nests and shutting down nests with low grenade supplies).

Anyway, I always thought this weapon was mostly designed for and efficient against Automatons, I'll see later if it's still the case.


DEMOCRACY !!!!

I still prefer the Queso cannon on the premise that I like to explore and collect samples, often leading to the timer running out at extraction.

The EAT is very manageable as a calldown, until you can't call anything down anymore, be it from the mission timer or a jamming effect.

Quasar is kinda feels meant to be paired with the EAT, it's basically like having a 3rd EAT in your back pocket. Having two quasars on the field during a standing objective lets you cycle two quasar cd's between your EAT call-ins as well.

Basically the two strats complement eachother very well if you want to rp as a walking precision airstrike.

I hate having to call down my anti tank when I need it rather just pull it off my back and use it, it’s WAY faster

Indeed, jammer and timeout are a very good point for the Quasar.

Both the EAT and Recoilless were better than the Quasar before. Now with the recharge nerf. There is simply no reason to use the Quasar anymore. Unless you want AT and a backpack slot at the cost of damage output.

Its a performance reducer overall now.
