...Due to sidearms.
There are no sidearms with a range longer than 60m, meaning that there is no sidearm to cover for the Plasma Rifle's weakness, while pretty much all the sidearms are built to operate within short-medium ranges.
This means that operators of weapons like the Rail Rifle can operate at any range if they need to.
If a Plasma Rifle operator needs to engage at ranges longer than his Plasma Rifle... Nothing he can do but go back to the supply depot.

I'm not saying it's an issue, it's just a fact.
Long range weapons have a short range backup.
Close range weapons don't have a long range backup.
Long range weapon users can deal with more situations as needed.

Surprisingly I'm actually willing to agree with you on this. The problem with the rail rifle is its range, nothing else. The hipfire kick didn't nerf the rail in any 'meaningful' way other than making it incredibly frustrating to use. Undo kick, reduce range.

Quad damp your scout and shot him in the back..
Ask around some one else might have some other great solution.
If you hadn't noticed yet.. it seams like the frame rate increase has nerfed rail tech to the floor.

I'm not see how frame rate changes made it worse I'm still getting plenty of kills with it and not feeding.

In a Gallente Scout, two CPX Dampeners is enough to dodge all but one combination in scanning... 4 would be a waste. |

Close range weapons don't have a long range backup. You aren't technically wrong, but short range weaponry has the advantage of remaining effective indoors.

I'll tell you what: You keep your RR and SMG (or whatever sidearm you choose). I'll take a BAR or CR, simply evade you at long range, and kill you at medium to short ranges. Good luck using that sidearm.
There is no place to hide from DPS up close. You can hide from it when afar. That's what your analysis is missing, if I may be so bold. |

No, Cat, I'm completely ignorant of the maps. 
Sure they have an inherrent advantage, but they also have a huge disadvantage that was just made quite a bit worse with the hotfix this morning.
Moving past that, if the RR is so good, why was usuckatdust vaghenitian (sp?) the only person I've seen using it with any effect in PC in months?
Please, keep using your RR. It kills noobs just fine.
However, you only make for a loud and easy target that has little chance if I get within my range, and you'll likely never see me coming much less time to pull the sidarm. |

most ppl who are CQC - medium range dont really want to fight at long range anyway.. the chance of being flanked while transfixing on a target at long range is not worth the risk for me.

I don't think it means too much because of the DPS differences in short and long range weaponry and when you add in kick, dispersion, and especially charge time for the RR. You can only look at it, as the Kitty has, at a base level and say "that is interesting" rather than draw forth conclusions.

However, you only make for a loud and easy target that has little chance once I get you in my range (much less CQC), and you'll likely never see me coming much less have time to pull the sidarm and apply, what, half the DPS?. Games are won and lost in CQC. KDR is padded with ranged weapons. I know which one I'm choosing. Meow.
Leadfoot, I'm just stating an observation, I haven't complained about the Rail Rifle.
In fact, I didn't feel like they are problematic in ages now.

Oh, ok then. I agree, they do have an inherent advantage -- to which CCP has also included an inherent disadvantage....and rightfully so.
I guess all the "nerf RR" threads have gotten to me.

Except for the fact that short range users will be better in short range, so the backup is made not so good.

Short range users are even worse at long range in comparison.

The problem is that there really isn't a medium range in this game. Usually it is either long range or beeline right up on you in CQ.
Add to that the arena rumble nature to this game and we have failure of most things that would otherwise be useful in a traditional combat setting or in a special ops, small scale insertion.
This is runny, runny, shooty, shooty and so the stuff like RR vs. AR is all messed up.
