I do run scout yes, but that's only in this last 2 months...

The ScR can one hit more than scouts/mlt suits, no suit can survive after a charge-shot lands,
It's only a few simple taps on R1 to finish them off ..

When you take into account the prof.5, Amarr Assault 5, and DMG mods
The weapon is way to powerful, and if you add up the total for if each shot was charged

The the DMG output off them is insane, and don't kid yourselves acting like
it's that difficult to land a charge shot on any suit repeatedly

This is an FPS, a large section of the playerbase is accurate as this is not their first FPS
To have a weapon in the rifle class that hits that hard doesn't add up
As it is made too powerful with too few drawbacks, such as feedback DMG,
(ScR feedback DMG is less than 1/3 of a LR)

Remote explosives are new FOTM

honestly CCP made a simple mistake which someone found and it made a big problem with the balance on tanks and thats the only reason they used so much right now and normally when you see alot of RE's its the ones stacking them on LAV's although I keep hearing that they will fix that so really CCP fixes that 1 issue with tanks and it will balance out better but just to get this out its hard for me to see tanks as the FOTM when I can kill them with my swarms quite easily me and a buddy yesterday were laughing because everyone is bithcing about AV when it's so easy to kill them with swarms and forge guns since 98% of them are noob wannbe duel hardner tanks if not just a dmg mod stacked tank.

Either way MLT and poor fit std tanks die easy and only a slight few actually fit thier tank different than this and they are the ones who are tougher to kill but rail rifle and combat rifle do feel quite powerful but same can be said about other guns too

I've been using them for over a year now and by any chance is the OP a heavy? Or perhaps have a lot of healtg on his clone.

I say this because if your up against a heavy, REs are the counter, a scout will never take down a heavy whos just about to walk round the corner, they have 3 options,
1. Leg it
2. Remote Explosives
3. Nova knives

Its the same with a fukly decked out caldari logi. You have those 3 options.
So currently there is a heavy event, a lot of guys with a lot of health.

The counter?

Remote Explosives.



Now people talking about frisbe explosives, the explosives can only be detonated once they have stuck to something for 2 seconds, this is only effective down stairs, its not effective anywhere else.

Team barricades in small room with , heavies LOGI leashes, rep hives, depots to switch damaged suits an basically be invincible.

Scouts says " screw this crap I'm getting the basement wp farmers outta there"

Scout uses df scout bpo, shield bpo, sg bpo, profile damp bpo, kinetic bpo, toxin smg bpo, grenade bpo, remote explosives an constantly jumps in that room spreading remotes!

Proto wp farmers say "hey that's not right, that's not fair I shot him he still blew me up, FTOM , noob, wehn, wan wan, I'm gonna make a forum post, nerf nerf nerf"!

Scout says" loser thanks for funneling your team into a kill box, excellent strategy , keep putting down uplink, thank for the 40 kill game in my 2300 isk suit, please never change your stratagy, dumbasses)

Lord forbid one person in a kill box room full of uplinks is too smart to spawn far away with a uplink somewhere else an save their team 60 clones

Re are fine,may need a buff too on some point.

CCP need only to remove the dead trigger, that is garbage.

Truth.
Reduce throw range = balanced

I see them everywhere, but most of my deaths come from me finding them and shooting them.
Apparently, the blast diameter is about the length of the range of a HMG.
My biggest problem is that I only get 3 Fluxes to combat them. It's almost enough to make me carry a Flaylock, but I don't need another handicap.
