HA w/MK2, MK4, OUTBACKO, only 4.3/10??

[Coelacanth]

Just wondering about something, after taking a close look at my guns and my HA with each. Maybe this is normal, maybe it's not, but it sure doesn't make sense, one way or the other.

Why do I only have a Hit Ability (HA) of 4.3 using either my Outbacko, MK2, MK4, or for that matter ANY carbine except the Opalo (which gives me 10/10)???

I had been hunting with MKV, V1, MK2 for years and years, accumulating well over 5500 Marksmanship, something like 5432 Rifle ("Amazing"), and currently level 43 laser sniper pro standing, and I only have a 4.3 HA out of 10?? Even using the Outbacko?!? 4.3/10 *hardly* seems amazing!

I compared with another friend with similar skill level and they confirmed this on their avatar too (though for them it was 4.0).

I haven't had time to dig a little deeper, but it would appear that the HA is a 1/10 divider of my pro standing in Laser Sniper (level 43 = 4.3 HA)...

Even if that's the case, something seems really off about this. I've hunted with carbines 75% to 80% of my existence in this game, shouldn't that HA be damn close to 10/10 too?

Looking forward to your observations, enlighten me!

All non sib guns work like this , they are all maxxed at level 100.

Yes, your HA is 1/10th of Laser Sniper pro standing with all UL laser carbines and rifles.

There are plenty of other weapons you would have 10/10 with, but they will all be L, or unL versions of SIB weapons.

this is normal, your professional standing = your HA * 10 (or vice versa)

what did you expect, to have it maxed out with 5k rifle??

[Coelacanth]

Thanks! So it seems there's a maximum level people can reach, and once you reach it, you no longer improve in your HA. An "experience point cap", if you will. It just seems odd that someone with that much skill only hits less than half of the time. I seem to hit more often than that, but maybe not...

Umm, no, but 4.3 out of 10 hit ability doesn't seem too "Amazing" to me. No need to act snUber.

Ah no i see what you mean.

4.3/10 doesnt mean youl miss 57% of shots...

lag permitting, at 0/10 you would miss 20% of shots and at 10/10 you would miss 8% of shots. An HA of 4.3 means you should hit roughly 84.8% of your shots

[fluske]

do you even read comments on earlyer threads you start ?
thats why i said in earlyer thread that you are low skilled and better of using sib-guns like kors400

[Hally]

dear old coel

you have missed alot and you really never have played that much really to get 10/10 on a regular gun u need to attain a lvl only reached by a few players like stormer and skalman and the likes they have all played countless hours a day since forever

as a base rules u need 10.000 skill in all skills that atribute to reach 10/10 and there u see why L is so popular even thou it has less eco

I'm kinda amazed to see how someone who has been around for well over 2 years doesn't know the basic mechanism of how weapons work.

Maybe it's just me, it's in my nature to discover things and "dig" into the inner workings of stuff like this, while I know others dont care and just like to shoot stuff.

Well others have answered the question, to max the old-style weapons you need to have 10k in all skills, including the unlocks yet to come (CS at lvl 50 and commando at lvl 70); or you have to have way over 10k in a skill like rifle to make up for that.
