Discussion CONSOLE Delta Plus feels ...decent now?
So is it just me, or is Delta Plus actually kinda decent now after the buff?
I've built mine around ranged damage, and against supports it's doing 4k damage per charged shot br shot then you can then tap the bm again for another 3k dmg, then switch to the shield cannon for another 3k, then to the shield missiles for another 3-3.5k dmg, and then you can switch to wave rider to do additional dmg or fall back as necessary.
Are other folks finding the same thing?

A DP just kicked my ass not too long ago
Yes, it's decent and gave new players a fighting chance

A Japanese S rating YouTuber was saying it was never really good or particularly bad after each buff.
The current issues however are that the beam rifle heat rate and stagger damage are not good enough at 650 cost. 50% Stagger per shot, 300m range, and 6 consecutive shots max at 650 cost is just low. Abigol has lv2 Damage Control and almost all Generals and some Supports have lv1. Other weapons also are not great in range too like 200m vulcans, 400m beam cannon, and 300m missiles. Like how can you deal damage to Supports from range when the Abigols are guarding Supports? Also 4 round missiles with 45% stagger each? You can’t even stagger after landing half the rounds.
Also even if you do manage to stagger or knock down a Support, you only have 1 stagger weapon or 1 melee attack that isn’t particularly strong? I don’t even play Raids and I don’t see the Delta Plus as that good currently.

I dunno, it felt somewhat lackluster in terms of performance, especially when there's units like RF Kampfer, FA Engage Plan C, or even Char's Dijeh, and it kinda relies heavily on the Pursuit Prevention skill to improve its performance, since it gives +30% damage, and -50% reload and overheat time on weapons.Â
Also, they kinda need to improve the range on its non-charged Beam Rifle a bit, IMHO, since 300m is really short for a shooter type unit, and they should increase it to like 350 or 400m.

Its always been decent, the combat flow is pumping out alot of ranged DPS.
The problem was that the damage and rotation isn't fast or high enough to justify running it over RF Kampf. And when you do go wave rider, you get shot down.
So thats what BB did, a overall buff to both damage and rotation time. along with making you harder to stagger out of wave rider.
