When you guys all debate this stuff tirelessly using DPS numbers you do realize that the DPS does not reflect "effective DPS" right? By that I mean it is easier to apply the AR or CR's DPS than it is the rail rifle because of the 3 it has the most kick. Additionally, the (albeit short) charge up time means that it is a little more difficult to accurately apply that DPS than the AR or CR where you can start and stop shooting your target at will and be more accurate.

Yes the RR is powerful, yes I am a RR user...but I am also a CR, ScR, and sometimes AR user as well. They are fairly well balanced against each other. I think most of the RR complaining comes from those amongst us who put all their eggs in the AR basket because it was by far the most powerful weapon, now they are butthurt that they have 3 mil or so in a weapon that is no longer an I win button.

The problem is that this isn't Rifle 514, you can't justify the RR strengths based on the performance of 2 other weapons.

Most tankers are like sand people. They frighten easily, but will quickly return...and in greater numbers.

All the complaints boil down to Rail rifle is better than assault rifle waaaaaaaah! So that is the argument I was posting against. As I've posted in many of these threads all the rifles are OP compared to just about every other weapon in this game except HMG (recently), SMG, and scrambler pistol. Oh and f**k the sniper rifle too because most snipers are b!tches. Believe me dude, I was a MD user for all of chromosome and I have it up to Prof. 5 now even. I have felt how OP rifles are to almost all other weapons. Most tankers are like sand people. They frighten easily, but will quickly return...and in greater numbers.
