Are not TAC weapons supposed to be more accurate? It's dispersion is wild even with some points into sharpshooter and the kick at long range is ridiculous. And it's supposed to be the long range variant.... I actually feel bad for the gun because it was made so horribly that ofc no1 will use it. Btw i have kick reduction at level 5 so yea... |

Well.I use it...sometimes...depending on the enemy rooster.
It feels REALLY powerful, until i go up against CR scouts,Heavies,RR users on a roof etc...and then i get mad and take out my SCR rifle...you know ? a rifle that works.
The best Damage mod is a HEADSHOT....

No, those guns are the opposite of fun, except the Mass Driver. With the Tactical AR you actually have to use skill though. |

Because those shots are killer. Ahem, excuse me, they were killer. I don't know about now but before Uprising, you could go ape **** beast mode with a TAC AR.

When I use the tac or burst I have to put my mic on PTT because in order to use it effectively it seems I have to go full ****** yelling and making ******** faces (esp. CQC) trying to land each shot. |

Yeah,ive tried the Burst AR because i hate the sight on the CR's. It FEELS right but it doesnt kill s**t unless its like a 100HP scout.
The TAC , well. It gets outranged y a CR so enough said.
Funny enough, the second best AR seems to be the BREACH at med range.
SECOND funny point! , they all cost +33k at proto level than the Duvolle AR. XD

This is an old story, young man.
There used to be a time when fake Cal Logis and Tac AR ruled the battlefield. Seriously, almost anyone used a tac AR, then CCP nerfed it to the ground, and everyone went for the Flylock / Mass Driver, but that's another story...
Anyway, as far as I remember they were supposed to be placeholders back in Closed Beta: The TAC were supposed to be the Scrambler.

Breach forge gun is... Uhh... A good weapon if you want that OHK for vehicles, but for multiple hits the AFG is much better Mass Driver is fun. |

Because it was almost as good as current RRs before RRs were available, so they nerfed the **** out of them.

Many builds ago, there was a weapon called the "Tactical Assault Rifle" - or "Tac AR" for short. It had good hipfire accuracy, extremely high potential fire rate, and almost no kick. People who could mash the trigger with good timing, or who had a mouse, or who had custom/modded controllers with auto-fire trigger functions, could put out more dps at pretty much any range than any other rifle type weapon.
Prior to the Tac AR, the Breach AR, which had a scope back then, had been completely broken OP. It was massively powerful, with only a tiny fire rate reduction, and had laser-accurate hipfire at any range. That got nerfed into the ground so hard it's still recovering to this day. The same happened to the Tac AR, but it's been a more recent horrendous over-nerf, so it's probably got a while before it's back on track (and by "a while" I mean "they'll have shut DUST down before it's fixed").
The Tac AR should have had a fire rate nerf or about half the increase in kick that they gave it. Instead, it got a fire rate nerf, damage nerf AND stupid amount of kick.
CCP logic at its finest. "It's slightly OP, how should we bring it back in line with other weapons" - "simple, nerf it so hard it becomes totally unusable, then gradually let it work its way back to a semblance of functionality over the next year or three, we've got that ten year screw this and abandon the game a year after release plan, why not?" |

Remember the begining of Uprising - everyone went with the TAC AR because the AR's had a hard range cap and the TAC had the longest range + was easily abused with an auto-fire controller |

The kick is awesome.
More guns should have it. It makes it feel like the gun is alive.
Right now most guns feel dead in your hand.
Stand back and look at the big picture. Is the kick on the TAC to much or is the kick on other guns to low? |
