While people do try to get weapons thst they don't use nerfed, have youever considered that legitimate points were made in some of the posts? The Scr doesn'tneed a Nerf because unlike therail and combat it has something called a downside. That's a load of bull to claim that the Scr outperforms the rail outside situations where the scr user gets time to charge before being shot. I use the rail rifle, every other rifle kicks identically, how does a charge that short make a difference? Of course a weapon doing the same dps will win if they get the drop on the rr user. Your "nonexistent overheating" comment gave away that you either haven't used the weapon or you're lying.
Yes I have. I read every OP sometimes once or twice over, especially a topic concerning a nerfing of the RR. I consider it. Look at the information and judge objectively. If I don't have a counter argument and I see what they see, then I agree with their statement.
The problem is, everytime I see a "nerf the RR" post, its never objective. Its starts off very subjective. Usually it begins with "The RR isn't supposed to be good in CQC"
Now when I read that, my left eyebrow raises in curiosity. So it's not because of its strength overall. It's not showing signs of being greater than any other weapons. The nerfs are wanted so it can drastically change its performance in CQC.
Now that I come to that platform of thought, I begin to wonder, well what if the user is just good with the RR? To maximize your lethality on the field, you explore your weaknesses and that of your weapon so you know how to perform at the most optimal.
When I get into CQC, often times, I can "see" the opposing merc smiling because he figures that because I have a RR, I don't know how to shoot it. With strafing, tracking, targeting the cranium/chest region...the RR is vicious in the right hands while in CQC. It turns into a jitter fight since now the enemy is realizing that I'm actually hitting him well with the RR. If I maintain my discipline, he falls. Plus, because of it being rail, you never actually shoot directly unless his mass fills up all the reticule. You lead your target by strafing to you the way you want to so when you fire a shot, he strafes right into its line of fire.
Yet there are times when I've gone up against a CR thinking I'm going to win the 1v1 because I just downed some guy. I'm in considerable distance (or least I believe so) from the CR. Distance I believe to be suitable enough to give me some breathing room and lighten the damage. Yet, his finger popping skill and his strafing drops me faster than I expected. Lesson learned. No nerf required.
And about the overheating, I have used the SCR. You don't just lay on the trigger. A viziam and the ASCR can drop opponents quickly without gaining much heat. If you fire correctly, pauses between bursts, you won't overheat. Maybe for your standards and people who just lay on the trigger run into that problem but most don't. Most SCR users rarely overheat because they know their weapon.
And sir, you are spewing a load of bull if you don't think that the SCR truthfully trumps all weapons in combat. The SCR is a beast and I don't even use it. Doesn't even need a nerf (but it can be argued). The SCR trumps in the right hands.
