Al right here are the real numbers:
Just had a friend time me with the std burst CR. I can get off barely five burst in one second. This comes out to 480 dps, and there are major drawbacks also:
1. Small clip size and less damage per clip
GÇó damage per clip for the CR: 1,728
GÇó damage per clip for the AR: 2,040
2. The weapon fires at such a high RoF that a single burst happens nearly instantaneously, so if you miss a single burst increment you loose 96 dps. Droping the dps down to 384.
3. Bursts must be manually fired, and matshing the button to maximize bursts/sec (like I did to get 5 burst in one second) results in inconstant burst timing pattern, making it easy to miss time and thus miss your target. A slightly slower but consistant rate of burst fire will achieve better results, but will also lower dps.
4. It is very difficult to achieve max dps in CQB due to strafing a moving target up close with a burst fire weapon.
No lets look at the AR:
1. Fully auto and reliable fire timing alows one to maximize dps in CQB by simply releasing the trigger when the target is not between your cross hairs.
2. A significantly larger damage per clip alows one to take on more opponents consitantly without reloading
3. Lower RoF alows and tracer rounds alows for fire pattern recognition by the user, alowing them to plant they're shot easily at any range.
4. If you were looking for drawbacks there are none. Sorry.
Ah, but what about the assault variant, will be your next question. Well let's take a look at it then:
1. The adv version has an abismal damage/clip at 1,496. While, at adv, the AR does 2,142 damage/clip.
2. Have you ever fired the assault variant? The thing has a masive vertical clime beginning almost immediately after pulling the trigger, so archiving max dps is actually quite difficult if the trigger is depressed for any real length of time.
2. The dps for the adv ACR is 440, while the dps for the adv AR is 446.25.
None of these weapons are OP. the combat rifle has enough drawbacks to more than make up for its strengths. The burst variant excels at med range, where it burst fire can be more reliably counted on. And the assault variant of the CR is simply all around a an inferior weapon to the AR.
Please do not start this nerf bull**** again, just when there seems to be a really good balance to the assault type weapons in the game now.
Btw, I am skilled into all assault type weapons to proficiency four with the exception of the SR.
