REAL Scenario.

Combat Rifle : Ratata => Full Team.
My ****** Commando STD with 7 million Sp (Only in weapons for tests).
WHY I KILL FULL SQUAD with this CR while others rifle can't even kill 2 dudes ?

The combat Rifle is totally OP.
You take it you pull the trigger you make more than 150hp of damage in less than 0.2 sec without damagers and proiciency.
And people complain about the Scrambler rifle charge shot.....Which make 200hp with 3 sec of charge.....
(Yes it makes 200hp of damage without damagers and proficiency see the Warcry Quizz.).

To finish all the weapons have a weakness and a strenght.

Scrambler : 20% less damage in Armor / 20% more damage in Shield.
Rail : 10% less damage in Shield / 10% more damage on armor.
Assault Rifle : 10% less damage on armor / 10% more in shield.
Explosive : 20% less damage in shield /20% more damage on armor.

That's Balanced as you see.

And then Combat rifle : 5% less damage on shield (WHAT the Hell ???) / 10% more on armor.
Oh wait what the hell ????
Combat rifle and SMG are the only weapons that don't give a crap about shield/armor while they are already the weapon with the biggest DPS.
This weapon have a crazy RoF making it crazy At Close-Mid Range.

Problem : For CCP 60/70 meters is Mid range.
That's 95% of the battles in Dust !!!!!!!
This weapon is the best for 95% of the battle......
And you think that's NORMAL ?

Still - The CR rewards the better player and the ones with good gun game will have the higher ceiling. AR vs other rifles does fine in the hands of the average players

Charlotte O'Dell Fatal Absolution 1408	Posted - 2014.01.04 19:28:00 - [10] - Quote Remember that due to the shield extender nerf, armor tanking is at an all time high. The RR and CR have a 10% and 5% bonus vs armor while the AR has a -10% modifier. The AR is powerful as ever at taking on close range shield tanks, but nobody runs that. I'd also wager that.you're using an armor tanked suit. Literally every advantage is being given to your enemy. Please rethink your tactics in the current meta before QQing again. If shield tanks were buffed, you.would likely be doing better. Charlotte O'Dell is the highest level unicorn!

So you think 10% damage is the reason when I got the drop on a person, I had double damage mods and proficiency, I still died? -_- Shield regeneration bonus for Gallente Assault is about as useful as Sharpshooter for Nova Knives.

Hung thru all rof, clipsize and recoil nerfs. Had the hardest time when armor plates came viable - clip of 18 shots just didn't have enough damage. Rail Rifles finally made them obsolete.

This weapon is the best for 95% of the battle...... And you think that's NORMAL ? I do agree it should be -5% and +5% I used the standard CR and I did more damage that someone with an AR My favorite weapon is the burst assault rifle because of the 3 shot but the CR is also shot but the ROF is almost doubled from about 800 to 1200 So using those above estimates the burst AR fires 1 shot less than CR. Its like a burst AR with an extra shot per trigger. Regular AR fires 750rpm I think so its even slower than the burst. Using very rough estimates for every 1 bullet with an AR rifle the CR fires 2.
