I didn't use the Assault Combat Rifle in quite a while, but yesterday I started using it again.
And it simply beats the AR in every way possible.
It feels like it has 100 DPS over it, when in reality it's slightly lower.
Any ideas as to why that could be?
I already ruled out shield/armor differences, since my AR has higher prof than the CR compensating for the damage difference.
You're landing more of your shots with the ACR, High RoF low damage, and if you miss just a little you don't notice it that much. The AR is mid RoF mid damage, so is you are missing just a little then you are going to feel it a lot more. I use the AR all the time, on my scout speed build (mostly only CQC) and don't have a noticable problem with it, but then I aim like a champ... Most of the time anyway

Nah, if you do the math for DPS for the two rifles the AR still beats it in DPS even with the ACRs imbalanced efficacy swing.

The Rail Rifle and the Combat Rifle were balanced around what the Assault Rifle (change the name CCP) used to be. The AR has been through several changes that have lowered its power from what it used to be (total range reduction, optimal reduction, I think there was also a ROF and damage reduction). The Rail Rifle and Combat Rifle may have been modeled off of it.
Not in the entire year of 2013 it wasn't. The only change to the vanilla AR, that I am aware of, in 2013, is a damage buff at the beginning of uprising, outside of range changes that is.
