I had no time to read the other posts so I'll just post my suggestion:

-Damage bonus decreased from 25% to 10% -Splash damage radius reduction decreased from 70% to 50-60% -Removed mini-crits on enemies airborne due to explosions. -Reduced fall-off damage for direct hits on grounded targets. Was my suggestion for a new DH.
I think this wins. No more one shotting things, Increased splash damage makes it more useful when rj'ing Minicrits shouldnt be rewarded for something thats easy. Reduced fall off for Direct hits keeps the weapon close to its original concept. No splash and higher damage is balanced imo, but that doesnt make it not stupid.. Other players dont like getting one-shotted. Soldiers dont like a lack of splash. Theres nothing wrong with having the DH as a modified version of the RL rather than a complete remake. It will certainly make the community more willing to accept it as a weapon because its less of an extreme.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=14804&post=259931 Wed, 22 Dec 2010 19:40:33 +0100 Reply by Tikcus https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-14804/page-3/?recent=259956#post=259807 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=14804&post=259807 Wed, 22 Dec 2010 13:27:44 +0100 Reply by Eledorian https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-14804/page-3/?recent=259956#post=259795 Quoted from Tikcus
+25% damage done +80% projectile speed -90% explosion radius (got to be able to rocket jump) -25% firing speed
The stats are possibly even worse than on the current direct hit, even less splash radius? Reducing the splash radius even further and then also lowering fire speed doesn't do anything to make it more usefull, all that does it make it more useless.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=14804&post=259795 Wed, 22 Dec 2010 13:13:18 +0100 Reply by RaCio https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-14804/page-3/?recent=259956#post=259792 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=14804&post=259792 Wed, 22 Dec 2010 13:07:07 +0100 Reply by Tikcus https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-14804/page-2/?recent=259956#post=259789 Quoted from RaCio
Whats the point in changing mini-crits if your version would still be annoying as hell for anyone trying to jump.
annoying not a good reason to ban, never has been never will be Stickies are annoying Kritzkreig is annoying snipers are annoying Splash damage is annoying spys are annoying etc So soldiers may have to look before they jump, they see a Direct Hit soldier, they call where he is they get him focused out of the game, or they jump a lot lower, as it is currently TDH & mini crits with the zero falloff on rockets = 180+ damage on a jumping soldier/demo, remove the mini crits an you're looking at around 60-100 damage. If you make airshots harder what's the point in the weapon, reducing the speed, and increasing the splash = another standard rocket launcher (or as close as)]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=14804&post=259789 Wed, 22 Dec 2010 12:56:04 +0100 Reply by RaCio https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-14804/page-2/?recent=259956#post=259787 Another problem (imo), with the tdh is that it is not really popular under people who play soldier as their main class. I’d say mostly because the rocket speed is so high and splash so low that it’s aiming style becomes close the a hitscan weapon as opposed to the normal rocket launcher which uses prediction, and where you aim slightly behind the feet of the target.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=14804&post=259787 Wed, 22 Dec 2010 12:43:23 +0100 Reply by Tikcus https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-14804/page-2/?recent=259956#post=259785 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=14804&post=259785 Wed, 22 Dec 2010 12:40:55 +0100 Reply by kurt https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-14804/page-2/?recent=259956#post=257471 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=14804&post=257471 Thu, 16 Dec 2010 18:55:56 +0100 Reply by RaCio https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/general/topic-14804/page-2/?recent=259956#post=257438 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=general&topic=14804&post=257438 Thu, 16 Dec 2010 17:00:10 +0100
