If you're having trouble aiming generally, just remember: the right control stick ("camera") is for making large adjustments like getting the reticle in the general area of your target if it's 1/4+ way across the screen, and the left control stick ("move") is for fine tuning. In practice, this amounts to walking forward toward or backward away from your target to "aim" up and down, and strafing left/right to "aim" in those directions. How it all shakes out in-game depends on elevation, the level of your weapon, how your target itself is moving, etc. But that's it in a nutshell.
Some things I've noticed that are specific to the ScR:
- Assuming no prior heat buildup and no Amarr Assault bonus, you can empty half a clip (27 rounds) before it overheats. Even applying the -20% penalty against armor to each shot, this works out to be (.8 * 65 [basic ScR] * 27) = 1404 damage. With a little practice, it's not too hard to apply those 27 rounds in about 2 second, for a DPS of around 700 (this is about 60 less than the "implied dps", and in my experience is more accurate). I cannot overstate how bestial this is.
- The ScR is excellent in CQC and quite effective up to about 70 meters (though its max is 96 meters, second only to the RR).
- The overheat is not a big deal if you're doing it right, which is to say ganking your target. As long as you have at least 51 (methinks--feedback damage could be lower) armor left, and hopefully a little extra in case you take a hostile round to the back while trying to GTFO after it seizes, you're golden. However, assuming most of your shots hit, your enemy will either be dead or seeking cover to nurse their own wounds, unless they're an unnatural savage.
- Has a nice tendency to pull up a little as your fire, sorta like the HMG, so if you set your shots up right, headshot kills are easier.
- Has the coolest shooting SFX of any gun in the game. It literally goes "pew-pew, pew-pew-pew-pew".
- Choice of alpha or DPS.
- Can swap to an SMG right before overheat to finish off armor more effectively and prevent said overheat.
