So I decided to try out the two new weapons today, this is how I made my judgement relatively fair:
- both times I had only the rifle level 1 skill learned.
- I used the standard rifle of each.
- I used the same gear, Amarr Assault A/1 with two shield extenders, one armour extender and a repairer.
- I played both games in Amarr Factional Warfare, both games were full duration.
My K/D is 2.36 and W/L is 1.1.
And out came the results:
Rail Rifle - 5 kills, 6 deaths.
Combat Rifle - 21 kills, 4 deaths.
I haven't played Dust 514 for several weeks, and with no skill at all I popped out a very good result with the Combat Rifle... It is immensely overpowered and easy to use compared to the Rail Rifle. I am calling for a damage nerf. It seems that with about 4-5 bursts I can kill an enemy, whereas the Rail Rifle requires a much larger degree of skill to use.

well first off, both games would have different skilled players.
I've had games as a heavy where i would go 10-12
But other games where i've went 34-3.
The players you play against are what makes people seem better than they really are
Dedicated heavy, tanker, and pilot.
You could say i like heavy things.

Railguns are Caldari tech which are ok to use since the Caldari are our allies. The CR on the other hand is a gas operated, bullet flinging, piece of antiquated tech that the subhuman Matari improvised in an attempt to save their hides.

You failed to mention a very important variable - were your opponents exactly the same people with exactly the same skills/suite/fittings each time?
One match with each is not a viable test.
Chivalry is not dead, but many who practiced it are.

Or maybe you're really good with the combat rifle. All that finger tapping isn't easy. I got about the same amount of kills with both guns. I tapped the R1 a lot when I used the GLU so it's natural. I'm sure you did te same with the scrambler rifle or GLU)if you used it). |

Two matches, two guns, right?
That makes the sample size per gun n=1.
Come back after 30+ matches each. Any single match could've gone either way just by chance.

So, according to the forums, the RR, the CR and the SR are all overpowered. Considering the fact that they are the most used weapons currently, and make up 75% of all rifles, wouldn't that just make the AR (plasma rifle) underpowered?

Yes, judging by the huge difference in skill it takes to use either of them.

Because you may have fought against armour tankers. IMHO more hits register in this build, and AR-s got about the same TTK against my old shield tank. |

I do, would you criticise my efforts to expand the empires glory consider I have racked up probably more combined FW hours than most players in this game, save the dedicated FW players.

Seriously... it has literally got nothing to do with peoples' gear nowadays. It is about who sees who first and who is more skilled and who has what weapon. 30 more armour HP and 30 less shield HP would make a negligible difference n the time it takes.

I still got killed by a few lone GEKs and 1 Duvolle TAR. I think everyone is just trying out the new guns. Once FW gets more popular people will get their GEKs, Duvolles and whatever else Gallente stuff. They'll have to choose what weapons they really want the most. |

PFFF.

I'm surprised he didn't do the tests in Academy. Seems like that's how you "test" things in this game.

Question, were you in the correct range for the RR, and I'm guessing you were close with the CR?
I've been watching the feeds and all rifles seem to be regularly appearing, RR and CR especially because "OMGNEWSTUFFS"

This was my first impression, the purpose of the test was to see how easily I could use it with no experience with it at all... and it seems as if the Combat Rifle is much easier to use. Whether it is better when used properly is a completely different matter.

Honestly, all the racial rifles are OP. They need their DPS cut by about 12.5-15% methinks.

How is my first impression doing 'a terrible job'? It tells me that the Combat Rifle can be picked up and used to an absurd extent instantaneously, whereas the Rail Rifle cannot. Therefore, the CR is overpowering.
