to be honest, use both RRs and CRs. i don't see why everyone was choosing between them. they are both good for different situations.

i personally have both of them to prof.3.

if you plan on facing heavies head on, (though from what i'm hearing, this isn't a good idea) then use the ACR. it will excel the best in CQC. or practice with the normal CR. once you get used to it, it out DPS the ACR.

I have both to level 4 right now. I like the CR (both variants) better, but the RR certainly has great situational value. I'm asking more in general terms, what makes more sense for the fit... RR or ACR? Maybe regular CR is a compromise.

I guess my answer would be that while they are both good, I grab CR before RR, in most every situation. Most of my encounters include popping over a hill and letting 1 or two see me and filtering them around a corner or through a straight hallway. I can feather the CR faster and the bursts help me strafe and hit target more often than the RR. If you're in a squad, (which you should be) more often than not, most of them are running RR to handle the far aways for you.

I totally agree, the RR's spool up time messes me up more than I would have thought, so I default to the CR as well.

But, this is not a generic RR vs CR thread, what I'm asking is a very specific situation. If you are building a logi suit specifically for the purpose of following a heavy around, what's the best weapon to use (in that siutuation only)? Do you want to:

A) Make yourselves into a dual bullet-hose CQC death machine by equipping an ACR?

B) Offset the weakness of the HMG's short range by using an RR? (for me as an Amarr logi I do have an SMG to fall back on for CQC)

C) Compromise with something like a ScR or regular CR (or even AR) that is in the middle?

(Will edit the OP to make that question more prominent)

(Will edit the OP to make that question more prominent) I see what you're saying now. it's depends on the map, to be honest. in a close ranged area like a complex, the ACR will excel, guaranteed, but in an open map, the RR will help the heavy out so much more.
