This is all off topic sadly, but I will add that it was buffed because while at max shields and armor it is a net nerf, but considering the viability of shield stacking the profile change was a buff.

Now please whether you think it needs a nerf or buff is off topic just consider it the brainstorming exercise that it is.

The CR is the only weapon without a balance mechanic I was wondering if any of you have any ideas.

I have one of my own that I think would be pretty easy and increase the skill cap on the rifle it is making it manual reload.

Ops I meant to put this in features my bad.

Homie, I offered up ways to balance the CR (remove the scope, increase time between bursts). If Rattati followed up my post with, "CR is dragging behind the other rifles in Kills Per Death and Kills per Second" you and I both know I wouldn't have pushed for anything resembling a nerf. We'd be talking about ways to make the CR perform better right now.

Data trumps my opinions on a weapon. All day, e'rry day.

So don't act like I'm pushing an agenda.

I canGÇÖt use the CR because I canGÇÖt pull the trigger fast enough to make it effective (old fingers ) but I do use the Assault Combat Rifle on a Minmatar Assault suit.

I already find that my ACR does not automatically go into a reload cycle when the magazine empties. I am not sure if this is because of the Min Assault Suit clip size bonus or what? It means I have to watch the rounds in the magazine a lot more closely to know when to switch to a sidearm, otherwise the gun will stop firing and it will take me a second to realize. (I think it does start reloading automatically eventually, but there is a really long delay.)

The CR is barely used in PC.
