No moreso than the Scrambler Rifle imho...

Sort of....the ScR seriosuly lacks against armour so when taking down those gal and amarr sentinels, your going to have some issues.

The CR just eats shields and armour for breakfast.

Here is one of many scenarios I was in:

Hiding behind a truck and a sentinel waddles around the corner full health (amarr adv sentinel)

I'm in a basic min commando with only 150 armour remaining.

Sentinel proceeds to take me down to 50 ish armour with his HMG.

I wreck his face in with my BASIC combat rifle and walk away with 67 armour left.

Ps. This scenario took about 2 seconds to go from start to finish....

Teach me to aim like you, then. Because I have some moments where I almost win such an engagement...but the number of times I actually do it is somewhere between zero and once per update.

Lol, I strafe into my targets.....and spam the trigger :p

It is a little weird at first but once you get used to it it's pretty good The first time I ran a flank-and-gank build/game (ambush), I went 15-5. The second, I went 13-3. The third, I went 10-2. Granted, not the same numbers you see cloaked shotgun scouts putting up...but it's not half bad, considering I was the only person on my team that went positive in any of those games. It's quite different than my head-on engagement style i was used to before...but in a good way. It makes me think, and act sneaky. 3/10 Federal Marines -- 1/10 Republic Command Matari Commando Pride -- Mass Driver Specialist

I also suppose I feel squishy because I run strictly Minmatar Commando...coming from brick-tanked Gallente suits it feels a little rough. You do need to keep into mind the racial bonuses and limitations. I run Minmando, and while the basic is squishy at around 600 hp, you get bonuses to the CR, MD, and other projectile/explosive weapons. It's being debated whether the Swarms also apply under the bonus. You also get better speed, and stamina regen is a beast. I run this strictly, and I'm having absolute fun flanking (the Minmatar-version suit's purpose). Keep into mind that you won't win a stand-up fight with Amarr or Gallente Commandos, which I've made the mistake of doing. Flank and get the drop on them. BTW, can I be added to the list? I have CR to 5 and MD to 3; Minmatar Commando to 1. Yeah it's just a very different playstyle from the head-on assault style I used to run with my brick-tanked Gallente suits. As I get more and more used to it I'm coming into my own. I have both the MD and CR to prof 1, and Minmatar Commando to 3...just wait till you level up your suits and weapons some more, the damage bonus is spectacular. I just have to remember that I'm a flanker now, not a head-on kind of guy. 3/10 Federal Marines -- 1/10 Republic Command Matari Commando Pride -- Mass Driver Specialist

The best part is that you maintain your efficacy against infantry, and the Swarms benefit hugely from both the racial damage bonus and reload bonus. BK-42 ACR EC-3 AMD 2x Enh Dmg Mods 1x Enh Repper Flux Rep Tool (about to unlock the ADV) ...One of my favorite moments in this game was when I was repping a sentinel corpmate of mine, and we qsynced into an ambush game with another corp squad and ended up facing each other. We were in the same chat...and so when I heard the other squad leader saying "Get roland's logi! Kill his logi!" I was thinking yes, please, please come get his logi. Needless to say, the logi got them. Handsome number of kills hat game, and a ton of WP from repping. Can't wait to unlock my ADV rep tool (sometime tonight...Omega Booster say what?)

I prefer close quarters where surprise is on my side where i can come up behind a group of enemies, deliver as much DPS as possible, and get outta dodge before they have time to react.. I would strongly suggest trying the Minmatar Commando if you like a hit-and-run style of gameplay. The PG/CPU is adequate enough to fit ADV weapons and play with STD/ADV equipment/mods with the remaining space and get some very potent fits. The stamina regen is fantastic, and when I finally get my proto suit I intend to run a complex repper and complex kincat in the lows...coupled with its great stamina regen it will be spectacular at getting from point A to point B on foot quickly. I understand that you;re a Gallente purist...I am a bit of one too. However, due to my love of the ACR, MD, and Minmatar mobility I still fight for the Gallente...but I've adopted Minmatar tech as my go-to. EDIT: You can also run STD weapons and get better reps/equipment/damage mods, etc. I have a fit with basic weapons and a complex repper, which really does make a big difference.
