To christo : you can see that weapons with high prices got better improvements like upgraded laser, and got for a good majority better stats than weapons at 250 certs... It's my opinion, and may be wrong, but from what I saw, having BR100 is good since you can basically afford a good weapon plus all improvements, and hunter/tank/MAX with every improvement...

Meh, those infantry improvements are marginal. In the end it all comes down to personal skill and reaction time.

You can kick BR100 ass with a BR1 character even.

I was playing on Miller as you suggested. But i'm thinking about creating chars as NC and Vanu for changing style. I know i said i don't like Vanu but lasers can be fun sometimes. Pew pew pew...

That's cool. Also on characters I got one for 3 factions as well, (my NC is just a name holder tho) only thing I'd say is don't make them on the same server. It's more interesting that way and you can't 4th faction too much. People have alts of all sides on the same server, and switch to the side winning. Disgusting

Also did you guys see the new NS tank model?

To Tyr : double C4 is like 750 certs ...  :mrgreen:

(I prefer to take 3 medical kits to survive better since it costs like half of the double C4)

To christo : you can see that weapons with high prices got better improvements like upgraded laser, and got for a good majority better stats than weapons at 250 certs...

Usually (and even more for TR), that's not the case. TAR, Jaguar, MSW-R, Haymaker and a couple other "best" weapons in their class are 100 or 250 certs. Also the two blocks of C4 are the single best complement to the LA class. No class can make such good use of C4.

I earned 200 certs in an hour of game time, sheeeeeeeeeeeit

50% boost + double XP = 300xp for a kill + other bonuses like menace kill/etc

It's awesome  8-)

Doesn't equal the glory of 100% loyal soldier boost and double xp. Destroying a sunderer = alert victory without bonuses

Note that I don't have premium. They just recognised how much of a badass I am and gave me a 3 day +100% boost shortly before the last double xp. Did BR69 to 74 during those 3 days.

No issues for me since the update.  I love wrecking BR100 bundle of stickss when I'm BR15 and watching them try to hunt me down only to die again and again.  LA duels are the most fun thing in the world although out sniping infiltrators while using my T5 is pretty good fun.

Just got dual mutilators on my max for epic squad shredding purposes.

For LA, i'm not really sure about C4. I mean does it worth it to change instead of Medkit?

It is a considerable investment, yes. But in 9 out of 10 situations it is vastly better than medkits. The class that benefits the most of medkits IMO is heavy. You don't need C4 as much when you have a rocket launcher. And since you act as a bullet soaker for the rest of your team, you often really need medkits. The second class I use medkits with is long range infiltrator. When I play SMG infil I prefer claymores by far.
