What Is Eternal Crusade's Ttk (time To Kill) Amount?

I heard of this uncommon game term most related to Call of Duty's Modern Warfare, and also in comparison between both Planetside's. So as an avid fan of this universe, I'm curious is there any knowledge upon the TTK rate in this MMO?

If I'm still not understood, than I mean for example in that, in CoD you'll easily shatter to the spectacle of multiple gun rounds from almost any weapon in the game, including melee attacks. Whereas in Planetside-1, you can survive numerous wounds and there is no instant-kill infantry weapon, though perhaps Halo's Master Chief would've a better example I think.

Personally, I would prefer a good medium between the two because I imagine in this universe, A Chaos Legionnaire, Astartes Marine, An Eldar... Eldar warrior, and player-Ork adjusted for sensible gameplay purposes, running around amok enough in an obstacle-rich environment like the COG in Gears of War, and sniper-oriented weapons rarely one-shoting players. Not due to my tastes, but as much as I hated having to two-shot most of my combatants in PS-1, I relished the lifespans present because they were endurable enough in promoting an environment of tactics and positioning in my opinion. Not that CoD doesn't, but a well-placed pike formation of Vanu Lashers (AoF Empire-specific weapon) down a hallway or staircase would shear any assaulting force severely enough to fall back. And in that example, I actually feel and hope EC has this TTK around PS-1 so that if one or multiple players are in the hail of an opposing infantries gunfire, from any of the four factions, they can pull back a bit with little or no causalities except health bars near zero, to come back around with a muscled retaliatory stroke Bolter in tow. Vehicular weaponry won't obliterate players with one shell, snipers won't one-shot players and this something that pissed me off in PS-1, because nothing blew more than "headshoting" an enemy in the games heavy armor equivalent, to require another chrome cylinder to dead them after they found out they're in the midst of homicide, to crouch crawl away behind protective barriers.

I hope I'm not writing all this and this has already been confirmed lol, but I can't imagine any form of TTK touching CoD's with a telephone pole when melee is obviously going to become a significant aspect of this title from what I've read. And when I mentioned, sensible gameplay earlier I meant, regardless of powered armor present lore-wise, Space Marines and Eldar will possess the same starting attributes as an Ork would. If I am wrong, I hope so in the mis-perceived sense that higher-tier players will be able to gain energy shields, bigger Ork-stompin' bodies, inches of armor, etc.

bolter rounds are death, One hit kill shots are realistic even in 40k. No brain no life.

Too early but I hope TTK is slow. It may be less realistic in the real world but in 40K it makes sense. Ork super skin, CSM and SM power armor etc.

Slower TTK allows the player to react to being attacked and at least gives him a chance to win. In games like CoD you can almost never do that. Once you hear the first shot you are basically done.

In my opinion, that is not fun.

Bolter rounds dude those things will tear through.

Slow TTK is okay with me IF and only if - its fair, since it is not right now I kinda hate it.

I mean, I can crawl behind a guy and start loading him full of bolts but he still has time to roll, jump to me, and kill me in melee. Since I have knife, if he's got mace or axe I'm in a big big trouble.

Now if I crawl behind a guy with a Big Black Sword and start to plunge him with it, he's dead in a split second. No time to react.

Seems to me like devs are a big re fans

"I WANT TTK TO BE HIGHER BECUZ SPACE MEREEEN ARMAH!"

*...Fails to realize bolts rip through Space Marine armor and gets mad because this game feels like "CoD"...*

Pretty much my cold analyse on the forum community lately.
