Comparing T+T1 crossbow with T+T2.
Old T+T1 will not really be compared, 100 DMG everywhere and insane rate of fire make it OP.
T+T1 C'bow was what I thought was Tier 2a.
T+T2 C'bow is like Tier 0.5, and Tier 1 for incredibly skilled professionals.
T+T1: 100 HS, 5-shot body (Piercing allows multi-hit)
T+T2: 100 HS, 5-shot body
T+T1: Pierces
T+T2: No pierce
T+T1 has a significantly shorter charge time than the T+T2 one.
There are not many changes from T+T2 from T+T1, but taking out the piercing and increasing charge time really kill it.
Especially since quite a few I know didn't like the better, T+T1 version and called it Tier 1.
Two more things to say that don't really hurt it/my thoughts
T+T2 crossbow's model is just a brown color change, making it look ugly (In my opinion) without dat new awesome HUNTING CROSSBOW MODEL >:D
I know the ammo client tells you current ammo, but I'm used to seeing the crossbow strings to indicate ammo.
At 0 ammo, the crossbow strings are still pulled back and it looks odd.
Also, there is instant sound when reloading. This sometimes makes me think "Why is it not reloading" at tough times.
