its situational sometimes.
overall in terms of usefulness and kill potential blue flamer is at the top. Since if queen screes you can chase whoever got hit with blue flame after you stand up.
tl;dr
blue flamer sentry(beside wall for survivability) > Overclocked tesla (chokepoint no cades) > normal sentry(beside wall no cade) > anything else > JIMA flag (it sucks since SLs exists)
Wake me up when Focus Order removes FF chance depending on tier.
I used to bring overclocked tesla as my go-to turret for comtech and I do remember it being a LOT more popular a while back. Nothing changed to it, it still OP and stuns xenos, so for that reason its one of the best in the game. Its great as it also works with multiple xenos at one time so its not a turret you can just swarm.
The only downside is that it does ZERO damage, zero at all. You need to have guys shooting otherwise well, your stun’s wasted.
I’ve got no idea about the code of it or how the upgrade actually works, but what I understand the overclocked stuns t3s and has a higher stun chance and better slowdown compared to the regular tesla. Also the tesla completely blocks abilities from being used.
Movement is the easiest order to see a difference with, especially with SL orders that are both stronger and stick with you and help you haul ass in heavier armors. That’s the green.
Defend is an incredibly strong order that is not always seen the most because it’s a painkiller order effectively- it will stop crit from pain and let marines grit their teeth and get to cover. I’d equate it to an additive painkilling amount between Tramadol or Oxycodone depending on if it’s a JIMA, SL, or CO order. CO defend orders alongside XO, I think? are crazy crazy painkilling. This one’s blue!
Aim orders are probably the least easy to see the direct effect of, since it doesn’t give Marines aimbot. What it does, however, is stop bullets from “barely missing” xenos that would otherwise have succeeded a check from the game when it sees that a bullet should intersect a xeno on its path at range. The farther a bug is, the harder it is for a bullet on their tile to hit them. That’s what the Accuracy stat does, if you examine your guns. Tl;dr stray and long range bullets will hit their targets more often! This one’s red.
I understand the school of thought that >lol but SL’s, but something to understand is how long the Order cooldown is, the density of Squad Leaders over the entire regiment, and the frequency that they actually use their orders off cooldown, all are a sort of malus against the force getting value from Squad Leader orders alone.
The JIMA flag stands as an excellent buffer for SL’s to save their orders to use Move Orders, the one you see them use the most often, and for troops to get consistent value from a single CT at almost all times provided they’re moving the flag.
Move order ultimately is the best order
More movement speed = better offence and defence AND benefits literally everyone, imo no reason to use hold or focus because they are nothingburgers
Movement is king
That 5% better hitrate isn’t going to give you the kill, the extra movement speed is
The painkilling effect of hold is for losers who get hit
Use move like a gigachad and simply become unhittable
ah I have found the issue with micro tesla, it has defined 1 second fire delay but it is never applied to the snetry so it has the same 2 sec firedelay as normal tesla. here is a fix fixes micro tesla fire delay by cuberound · Pull Request #9430 · cmss13-devs/cmss13 · GitHub
Hold order is great but that’s besides the point
I take JIMA because i know no one will ever steal it 
that or sniper
JIMA probably stacks well if it gets defense and aim with a SL or CO move though right?
or you can just pick up a normal sentry or a flamer sentry then utilize it
no one takes it because its just really useless
No one plays CT during the TM so your sentry won’t get stolen either way, pick base flamer and be free
Orders are basically pheros so they dont stack
CT has allways been, compared to PFC when it comes to operating sentry, only been better by having intant sentry activation, other then that PFC can handle it the same, so it might get stolen by PFC who knows that
yes but what kind of PFC carries a multitool around, hell what PFC’s even know they can pick up a sentry in the first place.
You see, i also dont play CT anymore with the rework
Haha…ha…
Now that i think about it, maybe getting my sentry stolen is just cosmic retribution
I really only tried to move ones where the owner was dead or the sentry needed a hero immediately, but mistakes were made.
