Yes, but orders of magnitude less often than random members of the public “doing their own research”. And looking at the consensus of the experts rather than individual experts the error rate is further orders of magnitude below that. You need to let go of the idea that information being a good basis for decisions means that it’s “absolute truth”, because only religion has that; what we have is some sources of information that are less likely to be wrong than all the others, and that’s unfortunately the best you can get.
Can’t agree more. Despite all the gnashing of teeth the railgun still performs great in many situations, it just isn’t a panacea anymore. The “buffs not nerfs” crowd seems to be under the impression that the ideal balance for the game is one where they can reliably win missions at Helldive difficulty. Which is silly since the level below that is literally labeled “impossible”. Why would they create 9 levels of difficulty if the intention was for most players to spend all their time grinding level 9? You think it’s BS that there are so many armored units and the anti armor tools don’t make it easy to handle them? Yeah that’s what “impossible” means. If you were playing on “hard” I doubt you’d have that problem.
