The damage profile of projectile weapons, CR, HMG, SMG, is -5% damage to shields and +10% damage to armor. Compared to the other damage profiles, the projectile damage profile has an unfair advantage; all of the other damage profiles have a net 0 gain in damage, while the projectile damage profile gets a 5% damage advantage.
The projectile damage profile needs to be changed so that it has a net 0 damage advantage; -5% damage to shields and +5% damage to armor, would be the reasonable solution.
Dev post that has the damage profiles. |

If the projectile weapons had a profile of -7.5%/+7.5% and 5% less damage then they'd be exactly the same.
Anyway I agree with you. 7.5% is too messy and the asymmetrical damage profile seems to have no basis so get rid of it while increasing DPS to maintain the current status quo.
Lets not make any assumptions about CCP whether or not they plan ahead or not. |

Dev post that has the damage profiles. i think its that way so the minmatar would match its damage profile aganst armor to that of the amarr's laser weapons. notsure, bit dont laser weapons get 15% to shield and -10% to armor? i really forget.
No, laser weaponry have +20% damage against shields and -20% damage against armor, which is even. There is no reason why the projectile's damage profile is -5% to shields and +10% to armor. |

SMG should gain a 5% damage to make up for it though. what? +5% .. just cause you feel like it? :P
I do agree the SMG would need some kind of buff, but I'm not a 5% dmg buff is the right fix either enough. The Submachine Gun, which has the 2nd shortest range, has 5.6 less dps than the Magsec SMG, which has the highest range. Some re-balancing needs to so that the Magsec has the lowest dps of all the racial SMGs and that the Submachine Gun has the 2nd highest dps of all the racial SMGs. |

General12912, the explosive damage profile is the one opposite to laser's.
Explosives: -20% to shields and +20% to armor
Lasers have +20% to shields and -20% to armor |

Balance issues such as this that are extremely easy to fix should not be overlooked. |
