For comparison, the current Duvolle Assault Rifle does 30% damage up to 70m to shields, at which point the Scrambler Rifle will be doing 120% for another 8m. Currently, it looks like I'll be swapping to Scrambler Rifles as of 1.7, even though I use the TAR. It looks like the Scrambler Rifle will out range and out damage all of the new rifles, too. The only disadvantage seems to be the lack of an ACOG scope. Also, Carthum Assault Scrambler Rifles will be getting an optimal of 60m.
So, we've got an Assault Rifle variant that does less than half the damage and has less damage in a clip than a single stream of Scrambler fire, plus significant recoil that the Scrambler doesn't have, for a 14m advantage in range and a scope. Now that that's gone, the TAR will be so laughably ineffective compared to the Scrambler Rifle (we're talking half to a third of the DPS at most ranges), that there will be no reason to use it. I know, I know; it's a variant, so it should be a weaker version of the Scrambler. Then please explain to me why the Scrambler's Assault variant will be an Assault Rifle with 25% more range as of 1.7? I don't see that as being an inferior replica.
Scrambler Rifle 514, here we come? Unless, of course, the Scrambler Rifle starts doing 25% less damage than it is now, or something.
Because Scrmalber rifles ARE the TAR.
I mean each races has his own version of assault rifles. (Based on actual assault rifles)
Minmatarr = Burst.
Amarr = Tactical.
Gallente : Regular.
Caldari : Breach.
So it's obviously normal than Races specialists weapons are better than currents assault rifles version.
In fact i think Gallente Burst / Breach / TAR should diseapears after the release of the others assault rifles.
By the way i don't think Scrambler rifles (Semi-auto) will outperforms others assault rifles.
Without Amarr assault suits the rifle is overheated VERY FAST and even if he has lot of damage and range the rate of fire is very low and you can't spam because of heat so i think he's balanced. (Maybe little more recoil should be good).
To finish rail rifles has the same range with a better dps so.....
Actually i think ALL assault rifles should be light nerfed.
They are too powerful and ruins the game with their high DPS.
