...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.
-Just an observation, take from this what you will.

Gallente is OP unless you look at statistics and math :)

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.

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.
...Have you looked at what the majority of the maps look like?

Leadfoot10 wrote:No, Cat, I'm completely ignorant of the maps.  Sure the RR has an inherrent advantage -- and so does the sniper rifle and LR -- but the RRs also have a huge disadvantage that was just made quite a bit worse with the hotfix that was put back in this morning. Moving past that, if the RR is so good, why was usuckatdust vaghenitian (sp?) or Michael Jordan23 the only people I've seen using it with any effect in PC in months? [hint: because they die against heavies with HMG and scouts with any number of weapons] Please, keep using your RR. It melts noobs like butter. 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.

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. 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.
Doing 10% damage < Having a sidearm that deals full damage

Well, I don't feel like doing the math for you all over again, since I did it countless times before and posted in many threads, but you can just look at Rattati's stats.
Gallente Assaults are the most underperforming Assault suits.
Plasma Rifles are below average, with the only exception being the BAR... That is getting nerfed.
