It might indeed work.

BUT, Rattati is still in the process of balancing the rifles, Delta has a lot of changes including considerably less recoil and dispersion for gallante weapons from hip fire posistions. It might work now, it might even be mildly useful now, but I seriously doubt you'll benifit in Delta.

Burst AR's have no recoil.
Breach AR's will have low-moderate recoil
TAC AR's will have almost no recoil
Basic AR's have moderate recoil

Instead I think based on how Gallante have the longest TTE (time to empty mag) they should recieve a reload bonus. Allowing them to keep up the fight for much longer than their opponents.

As for the dispersion bonus, I think that should be kept.
Gallante: -5% Reload Time -5% Hipfire dispersion per level
Caldari: -10% Charge Time -5% Recoil per level
Minmatar +5% Mag Capacity +1 Round (Explosive) per level
Amarr: -5% Heat Build Up -5% Seize Duration per level

Sorted.

To explain a few things: neither current amarr or current minmatar assault bonuses increase dps, all they do is increase effective length of engagement time. Assaults only become favoured to win a fight vs non-assaults with the same weapon (and similar accuracy & hp with them both being aware of each other) if it goes on for a long time.

The two most requested bonuses for gallente: Rate of fire and range are both absolutely psychotically powerful - the first is a flat dps increase in all situations and the second is an increase to the range you're able to project your dps. With either of these bonuses the gallente assault becomes the immediate favorite to win a fight against any non assault with an AR. In effect these bonuses aren't balanced and aren't suggested out of a desire for balance, but a desire to be overpowered.

I believe that most people's issue with the gallente assault bonus is that it's 'invisible' unlike the other assaults where you can see the extra bullets in magazine for a min assault or the shots fired for amarr or even the reload speed for a caldari. It is precisely because the gallente bonus is 'invisible' that its undervalued even though it has the benefit of giving you an additional level five in two skills just for being able to wear a proto suit. I've seen plenty of discussion on game design and most companies have found that players tend to undervalue powerful 'invisible' bonuses up until they hit a point of being exceptionally overpowered. The current gallente assault bonus is incredibly strong allowing one to keep a gun incredibly accurate even while twitching about in close quarters - it just doesn't 'feel' powerful because you're not shooting flaming holy avenger +5 bullets.

With upcoming changes to ARs the gallente bonus might not be as good, but I doubt you'll ever get range or RoF unless the bonus was too small to be worthwhile.

You know I use all of the assaults regularly right? The gallente bonus is fine.
