Probably because the AK-47 is 66 years old and has gone through many many versions and upgrades through the decades and comparing it to the modern version of another weapon is skewing anything meaningful to support your own point with some fluff and flash which ironically weakens your credibility rather than bolstering it

Kind of funny how if you just said AK-74M this could have been avoided

Until I realized that the SCR is far more effective, because I forced myself to learn how to use the weapon and became good with it.

SCR is the best anti-infantry Light Weapon in the game. You just have to know what you are doing

A side note that's partially related to the SCR - I find it rather amusing how the nerf brigade is bitching so much about the Gallente assault rifle when the Amarr assault rifle is almost the same but for a marginally larger amount of dispersion for a slight increase in range.

I never really understood that as well. Maybe because hating the GAR is the new FOTM

Was never the FotM, just people don't know how to use other weapons effectively. Dumb asses trying to snipe with shot guns and CQC with Laser Rifles.

In other words: Flavor of All Time

Well I guess the aim assist helps a lot now with easier tracking and such. The semi auto scrambler is good, I can say better than the TAR, even with its crazy heat build up. But when talking about the assault variant, the AR is better in every way.

Felt the need to bump this thread.

As I said I would, I speced into proto ScR and AScR. And I have to say, this weapon is beyond fun!

I did relatively crappy the first few matches, but once I got the hang of it, the ScR is freaking awesome! Being able to absolutely screw somebody up with a well placed charge shot, or just spamming the weapon semi-auto is brutal. This weapon is AMAZING!

Even if a player is tanked (shield or armor), and I land a charge shot, I can finish them off with a few semi-auto shots before they even realize WTF hit them. I was able to nearly 2-hit a heavy with 2 charged shots (and I finished him off with what I had left without overheating). Even with a militia heavy, that is at least 700+ HP

The overheat is pretty crazy since I am not an Amarr assault, but it's still manageable. If I don't charge a shot then I can semi-auto many rounds before OH. If I shoot a charged shot then I am pretty much screwed in CQC if I miss.


I have been AR user for over a year now in this game, and the ScR is a real nice, and much needed, refresher.

I'm already pulling 10+ KDR games with it, and topping the match leaderboards.

Having the power of a sniper and being able to cope with CQC, is pure win. Versatile weapons FTW!!!

Oh the weapon itself not but hating the weapon is quite common around these days...a lot more than usual at least thats my impression

The ScR is better than the TAC AR only if you got all the skills to match it(prof 5, amarr assault proto, 3 complex damage mods) and the AScR just doesn't perform as well as the AR because of the increased dispersion drastically lowering the average DPS you can consistently put out in battles, the increased effective range is also extremely hard to notice from the scramblers.

Also, the TAC AR beats the ScR in close range because you can spam bullets(which miss at close range alot for both of these weapons).

Altogether I'd say both weapons main variants do the job best, the duvolle beats the imperial because its far more reliable and versatile, but the imperial definitely does its niche of medium long range engagements far better. The imperial is a monster with the amarr assault+prof5+3dmg mods, but such a serious SP investment prevents it from ever becoming FOTM.

The biggest thing with the ScR is learning that ir fires on trigger release as opposed to trigger push. As a Metroid veteran, that came easily to me :3
Still a very good and fun gun, just not what you want to take to an Amarr or Gallente brainpan.
