Re: ok, wtf?
firstly, when attacking... spy the person you are attacking at "Attacking for 3" then recall if you see Government defence because your most likely going to suffer an onslaught from them.
secondly, when searching for targets you can check to see what there AR mod is like.
if the person has been zeroed / hit hard recently... it is likely the person has a high AR mod.
if the person has been hit quite some time ago... he'll have a fairly low one.
so sending at targ two would be better since you stand less chance at triggering.
Ofc, you could always use an AR calculator
