WAS Board Vs. Cricket

[frost]

I was just curious is there a release date on the WAS board? If so when? What makes the WAS so much better than the cricket? I know it has vision and differnt fireing modes but is that it?

[Jabroni3116]

well...the fact that the was board is supposidly supposed to rid the impulse of the cursid FSOD due to voltage problems and bad board design on the part of smart parts. Also will help to speed the gun up due to a new eye included. Also...going by WAS reputation with all the intimidators that are graced with this board....I know I will be buying one!!!

[paintballnsc112]

different firing modes:eyes:


other modes are a waist

[c0ck3r_b0i]

indeed, unless you play woods...but hey woods are a waste too!:D

[heyheyhey]

new vision = dope

was board = nope

[c0ck3r_b0i]

new vision? tell me about it!

reads black paint

eye-off is now capped at 20

and its alllllll on my gun:D

[c0ck3r_b0i]

oh, that special cricket board? isnt it called like super cricket board ?

[themann2003]

I don't believe the WAS board will have firing modes.

I think of it this way: I don't see how one could outperform each other. The Vision, which has the lowest cap number (20) is faster than anyone can possibly shoot, so why would a higher firing cap make a difference? The WAS board will be cheaper, but as of now it doesn't look like it's going to be out for a long, long time. They both can see all types of paint now as well. Plus, the WAS might have some first shipment bugs (even though it is the best on Timmies, this is a whole other marker), the SP Vision Eye has been on this marker for a long time. So you gotta ask yourself: save a few bucks and wait for the WAS, or spend a little more and get the Vision. I myself just ordered a Vision board, can't wait till I get it.

i dont see why people are complaining about was products, everything is top quality and they rarely have any problems when they're released

annoying to see that people are complaining about the imp was board when it hasn't even been released yet

I'd like for you to show me where I was 'complaining' about the WAS board. I'm giving suggestions. That's what this guy is asking for. Also, I do not care if they rarely have had problems when introduced to new guns; it doesn't mean it will be the same for this. The bottomline is that the WAS board will be equal to the SP Vision, it will only have a higher firing cap and be less expensive.

[c0ck3r_b0i]

im tired of waiting for was...im just gonna get regular vision:(

[thebluenu]

i think they said "by the end of january"...... sigh, its mid april....

[themann2003]

Well I finally just gave up, and ordered my Vision this morning! Yay!

The president of WAS over at PBNation was bashing this other guys product for an Impy in the OTHER guys thread, and acts like an ***. If you don't believe me, here's a link, and it's been done on more then 1 occasion: http://pbnation.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=218909

man..... even more reason to not buy it

he acts like an *** wipe

[themann2003]

Makes me glad I ordered my SP Vision yesterday :)

[flagman]

if you guys won't buy possibly the best board on the market because the owner has total confidence in his product, you are stupid....i will be patiently waiting for the was board to hit the scene... until then, i am stuck with my vision board

[heyheyhey]

well, the new vision hasnt dissapointed me one bit

[flagman]

i am not doubting that it hasn't... but, the was board allows the gun to shoot much faster, due to the better board, and the placement of the eye. i like my vision, but it will not compare to the cheaper, faster WAS board

Well I say this: if it ain't broke, don't fix it. You can't possibly outshoot the SP Vision's cap of 20 bps, and you've already payed for it, so why buy a 120 dollar item just to get the same results?

Ok i know i dont own an impulse but jsut my 2 cents:
Y do u REALLY NEED to shoot faster? i understand the eye so that u dont chop b/c just about anyone can out run a Revy. But sheesh u would think 12 bps was fast enough to hit someone. Besides, try aiming before shooting.

[themann2003]

Well, for me, I can now play as a backman and create lots and lots of cover fire without having to worry about chopping (Halo B and Vision make a deadly combo :crazy: ) but when the Halo B, the fastest loader on the market, can only load at about 22 bps, what's the point of having a board cap of like 33? I highly doubt that I can shoot maybe 14-15 bps when walking the I-Frame, and that's arguably the fastest trigger on the market for the Impulse. We all can't shoot at fast as we think (or should I say as fast as we want...).

[isaaclim]

yeah themann, right on.....I think with my imp set up i can only shoot like 6-10bps!!!:laugh:

i've got pathetic fingers, but i honestly don't "hear" or "see" people shoot much faster than me at the fields i play at and the timmy w/ WAS is very popular where i'm at. But these guys will still go on about how they can hit like 24bps and so on.

Isaac

p.s. even thought they aren't shooting 24bps, they still kick my arse with their mad skizillz.

[themann2003]

Heh, thanks.

[flagman]

if you have ever shot an intimidator with the sob board... and then shoot a WAS intimidator, you will notice a significant difference in how fast you shoot, and how easy it is to achieve those high rates of fire. the was board is super sweet, and if you buy one... you will notice a huge difference in how fast you shoot and how easy it is to shoot that fast
tyler

[themann2003]

I don't see how a board on an Impulse is going to 'make' you shoot faster...it's your trigger and your fingers that make you shoot, not a board. WAS Boards on Intimidators are nice though, but that may be because the others are pretty crummy. The new SP Vision rules.

Sorry but your wrong, if the board is capable of only 10bps and your shooting 15 bps, then the board is holding you back, so in this instance the Cricket boards are holding BPS down, the board can actually slow you down! The WAS board will be the best thing out for impulses. It will be very welcomed into the upgrade family! :-)

[flagman]

terminator! yes!!!

That's correct, but I HIGHLY doubt you could ever reach the SP Vision's cap, let alone WAS's.

[heyheyhey]

like uhhh anyone here can shoot 20bps consistently in a game:rolleyes:

seriously, going from vision to was, you wont notice any huge groundbreaking experience:|

:nod:

[heyheyhey]

.... and, since the new vision has come out......

also, if youve already got the vision, i can tell you right up front, there is no way the was can be worth $120 to switch:eek:

[isaaclim]

i think the only real benefit the WAS will provide over the vision is better power supply for the solenoid.

There is this issue of power regulation that the impy boards do to the solenoid. If I remember correctly, the old amber/green boards did not regulate the 9v energy coming in, but the crickets do. This would explain why I got FSDO with my cricket when I never ever had FSDO with my amber/green board. I think if I clean out my hammer/ram assembly and maybe some different pressure/dwell combos can help.

Other than that, Smart parts has done a better job by upgrading their software. I still believe the WAS will be a better system, but if you got vision right now and all you have to do is upgrade the software, why not? saves you some cash moneys and you'll have little/no issues on paint reading abilities.

I will agree that timmies w/ WAS are a whole new beast than with the SOB, but shooting more than 20bps.....come on people. Be reasonable here. You honestly think you can wiggle your fingers back and forth that fast? make a vid or something cuz i know i'd like to see and hear that.

Isaac

[heyheyhey]

well.... i have absolutle no fsdo at all with this new vision and a properly lubed gun:)

[themann2003]

I don't either.

[flagman]

since the vision board will only be able to shoot 20 bps... you will lose firepower in bursts.... if your board can handle say 1 million shots a sec.(was) you will be able to put more balls in the air in a less amount of time, that would be good for snapshooting... i can't wait for the was board!
to those of you who want to stick with vision, i will sell you mine when the was comes out

WHAT! You CANNOT possibly shoot 20 bps in any type of form, whether it be bursts or whatever. When you snap shoot, you shoot 2-3 balls, not 20. Also, the WAS can't handle 1 million shots per second, are you crazy?

[flagman]

yes, it can... and it does... it checks the for trigger cycles 1million times a second...meaning that the board can handle 1 million bps... the gun never can, and no one will ever be able to shoot that fast... but it does help in bursts, because if it take less effort and time to shoot fast, you can and will be able to shoot more in a snapshot.
how fast do you think you can shoot a gun? i have gotten 16 as my best over a chrono
my setup?
vison pulse
nd blade
smoke halo
boomstick
gladiator

[themann2003]

It still doesn't matter; I don't care if a board 'scans' my trigger 20 billion times a milisecond, it still isn't going to 'make' me shoot faster. It will only allow me to. See, you've shot at most 16bps; no reason to spend 120 on something that you're going to shoot the same speed.

[flagman]

that is 16 with just a blade... if the i frame adds what it is supposed to, then i will be sitting at about 18-19. couple that with the was board... that is one bad gun. when i get my was board, i will make a vid... and you make a vid of your vision, and hopefully then you will learn that the was board is worth the money

[[X5] FLIP]

Man you guys need to check how much bps your shooting at and I doubt you will get an extra 2-3bps from a frame. Thats like saying you will get 10 more horse power from a pine air freshener. lol. I use the stock trigger and I can barely out shoot my 12v non x board. I can outshoot my hopper if I wanted to, but I would be holding my gun in a totaly diffrent way and my aim would be so off because I wont even be holding the gun in my hand.

riiiiiiiight:rolleyes:


one person has hit 23 at one point in time - rich telford

ok, thats one ball that wouldnt go out of the gun...... what would we do:rolleyes:

so, you wanna pay 120 for 1 ball? even if any of us could pull that fast?:rolleyes:

[RED_MAN02]

So this new WAS board would be good for people that didn't want to buy a Vision when they first got their impy but now want to add vision cuz they have the cash?

[monkeybacon00]

sure redman, but you gotta understand that it wont be out for a while.

so you would be better off buying vision than waiting forever for something that isnt that much better.

yes

there is no point in waiting for the was if you have the cash for the vision now
;)

[RED_MAN02]

Well i kinda don't have an Impy right at this moment so when I get the Impy by the time I want to order a vision board WAS will probably be out.
