AR has no recoil
AR has more accuracy
AScR has like 80% efficiency against armor
AScR has massive recoil
AScR has less range
First off the AR gets 10 increase on damage against shield and armor which is a poor increase compared to 20% shield damage when fighting against a Caldari
Secondly yes the AR need more recoil and accuracy control but so does every weapon in this game, HMG should have the most recoil but its dispersion is a substitute for now.
Thirdly AScr has charge shots which kills anyone within its sights in optimal range. this Rifle is suppose to be used in shorter ranges because of that implement, and power against shield damage.
finally, the AR is actually not as effective against armor because armor can take more of a beating than shields, so if you're running caldari than you at a disadvantage vs Gallente which has an advantage
First, this is an advantage to the Scrambler for Caldari ONLY. The only reason there are so many Caldari is the CalLogi fiasco, but as the other suits get more use this will change drastically.
Secondly, the AR is as accurate as the Laser Rifle, with an equal amount of dispursion and almost as much kick. The Lasrt has no kick because it fires LIGHT, but the AR fires balls of plasma which explode into life every trigger squeeze, which would create some kick. The Scrambler is supposed to be fireing either light or some kind of energy pulse, not 100% sure but I swear it's light.
Thirdly, the AScR does NOT have charge shots, that's the whole point of the AScR. The ScR, meanwhile, has a charge feature because it IS the Tactical Rifle of DUST514. It is meant to be THE Tactical, but the TAR is better than it in almost every way but the shear alpha damage of a charged headshot. Even not counting the charged shot's odd hit detection, it almost drains your heatsink, only allowing for three more shots before you break your own shield layer.
Finally, the AR may not have a bonus against armor but it does have LESS of a damage reduction than the Scrambler does. Scrambler's 80% to AR's 90%. The Scrambler is at more of a disadvantage to your hypothetical Gallente than the AR would be.
