Not quite. What "drag" does is exert an opposing force on the projectile, slowing its speed over time. It functions similarly to air resistance in real life. The reason the gravity on the JGX is so low (2 versus 4 or 5 on other main cannons) is because it, and a handful of other weapons, use a "true ballistics" projectile type that calculates gravity differently from standard "ballistic" projectile types. Some other examples of weapons using this projectile trajectory type are the Thumper, Underbarrel Grenade launchers, the Buzzard, Glaive IPC, Flail.

With that said, the trajectory isn't "hilariously flat" at all, and remains far more severe than any other tank cannon.

CB-ARX Newton

  • Refire rate from 84ms to 100ms
  • Max damage from 15 to 10m
  • Removed attachments
  • Removed large bullets
  • Headshot damage multiplier from 2.0 to 1.2

Dev notes: The Newton was overperforming and we saw a lot of great community feedback on how to reign it in. We couldn't pick one over the others so we implemented all of them. Now the Newton's role is that of a Tanto, but worse, which was a spot that was sorely lacking in the NSO carbine lineup.

Nah, just pulling the larger bullets off of it.

The country dropdown should populate for you now if you want to give it another shot.

Issue is resolved now. Thanks for shooting up a flare.
