Here is an idea for a new kinetic fighter weapon, Gauss Mortar / Rail Flak:
-variable range chargeable grenade launcher, all barrels fire at once.
-Charging increases the range from 1000m-4000m (max. 3 sec charging time, 1000m added every second)
(min. range prevents skill deprived close range splash spam)
-Firerate: max. 60 rounds/minute
-175m explosion radius
-damage output should be about 3000 dmg per shot. This should lead to a dps of 3000 dps at 1000m range and 1000 dps at 4000m range.
-Projectile speed would be about 5500m/s
-no proximity fuse, you have to guess how long you’ll have to charge your gun in order to detonate the shell next to your enemy. Like a Flak cannon.
-very low critical damage to prevent close range gunships from reaching uber dps.
-spread of about 1 degree, fixed.
