well i have seen a few they are dead and it seems like they still have the same range which the rail rifles hit into their ideal range. and while playing with it i am getting out dps at the 65-80m range. im just wondering why? and if there are others LR users that can not fight find its place anymore. while looking at the range of rail rifles ccp report they have 100% effectiveness till 72m which is right in the center of LR ideal range. so is this going to rebalanced since its no longer the best in its niche which is a pretty small zone for being long range niche weapon. what do you guys think should be done?

same prof lvl 3 and i am using the basic RR because its just better and has more range. but what do you think should be done since the sights on it isn't really for much longer ranges then it has now.

what about damage then? since 17 damage is pretty low since the AR has the same ROF but 34+ damage
ROF is 750 on both btw.

i think the drop off just needs some more TLC but it is still functional weapon im just not seeing why it should be used when the RR has a much wider usefulness area that extenders well into the LR usefulness range.
just want to see how others feel before making a feedback thread on it.

So at the 5th second it's doing 217HP per shot for easily over 2500 DPS. So it sucks for the first second, but after that its no less than nearly 50% better than other rifles. Only with max skills and a proto weapon can you get up to the max beam damage in the SDE of 450 HP per shot with damage mods.
Even at about 30m away, when you are doing about 40% of your max dps, 40% of 1000 DPS (3 seconds in) is comparable to an AR's damage output. The damage is backloaded, and the optimal range isn't quite as big of a deal. Theoretically you just have to figure out how to not scare people too soon and not get caught first.
im not so sure about your math and im pretty the longer can fire doesn't mean more per round like your stating but based on overall heat. if you had a video i'd love to see it.
