Jakkal here. Uh I used to run the rail rifle on my galmando way before the nerf because id always get rail rifled by EVERY POSSIBLE SUIT. I tried using the rail rifle now. Its left me with a bitter taste. Just gonna try and say my experience with the RR.
When rail rifles had unreasonably tiny hipfire kick and the best range they were OP in my opinion because they were king at range and cqc. I resorted to using them because id get bested at cqc with my ar by rail rifles. They were too good at everything, but I think CCP nerfed it a little too far.
Recently, before the extra charge, the RR was more acceptable in cqc. No longer was i mowed down with unreasonable accuracy and kick at 6 mtrs. i would have preferred an increase to hipfire dispersion per shot and not hipfire kick per shot. Because logic you know? Long range gun with dispersion being controlled by ads instead of long range gun with tons of kick being controlled by ads. Now though, I feel sorry for RR.
Although RR still maintain potency at long range they have lost some touches that were unique and minor disadvantages. The doubled charge time is not ok with me.Yes i can now effectively run from cover to cover without fear of being instaganked by rail rifles, but its not balanced. Every gun in this game has a certain ergonomic sense to it that is kept in check by a minor disadvantage. ScR is heat. CR is clip. AR is range. RR is charge up time. The RR's disadvantage is no longer minor.
I feel the RR's charge up time could effectively be set back to .3 seconds and the hipfire kick could be set back as well as long as the hipfire dispersion is increased. The RR has lost its ability to quickly put rounds down range in the general vicinity of anyone who dare peeks out in 70 mtrs. It has lost its ability to be extremely effective long range combat. I have decided to put the RR down until it is in line with its description of being "designed for field operations where penetrative power and precision are paramount." Pre-nerf it was able to perform way too good in cr and ar range, but now it has trouble operating in its own range.
Only exception to this being rooftop campers who have all the time in the world to line up a shot. Yeah kacique77 you know what i'm talking about. Damn campers with the broken links that cant be punched nor shot. Rant aside.
Please fix the RR so Mr. Reacher can stop complaining about it.
