The CR balancing mechanics are not effective lets think of some unique ideas to increase the fun and skill cap of the weapon.
Lets stay away from direct stat changes the devs can handle any balance alterations they choose if any.
Stay on topic I don't care if you think it needs changed or not this is just a brainstorming session so try not to get your panties in a bunch.
I think making it manual reload could be a cool mechanic when you're in combat is when it becomes a balancing factor during those moments of excitement when you hit that trigger and hear click.

How about a actual jamming mechanic (not like the ion bug) a rng roll for reload it is a projectile weapon and this happens quite often with open bolt systems.

Otherwise i would be pissed if I randomly died when it jammed, cause that's what would happen.
If that did happen I would expect the others to experience random malfunctions...
I like that, leaving it up to the player to screw themselves it would also likely put an end to turbo you sneaky bugger :D.
Not to get off topic, but I wish they would have done something like that with the cloak delay. Like a damage debuff instead of just not being able to fire that way scouts would have a chance to expose themselves.

Most people are duel tanks even with the ability to it is not an effective alternative, armor stacking is Inherent for all classes except ck. Comment in the thread below if you or anyone would like to discuss CR balance further:

Please if you or anyone would like to take part in this thread please to by all means do, but enough with these attempts to stifle any productivity this thread might have.
Discussion is an exchange of knowledge; an argument an exchange of ignorance.

Like for crying out loud!
Redline "Pings?" That just makes it easier for me to redline stomp.
Sidearm only scouts? BRB, gonna take away the LW slot from Logi's while I'm at it.
Commandos getting a bonus to SIDE SEAT DRIVING???
Mybofibrils give you a DB PENALTY?
Heavy Laser? I can get behind that, but the thing you proposed will only be used to massacre infantry at range with single sweep. Especially since you REMOVED the overheat.
Seriously. If one person says you have terrible ideas, pay him no heed.
If two people tell you that you have terrible ideas start to wonder.
If three people tell you that you have terrible ideas, pick up a book on critical thinking.
Red line - at that point it really doesn't matter because your not likely to recover and to be fair this was thought up when we were under the restriction of no client patches.
Instead of restricting scouts to side arms everyone gets to play scout the way they want as long as what they want is to play a cloaked shotgun scout. At least they finally balanced scouts.... cough...
The commando idea fits lore and would be ******* epic.
It is pretty easy to see who is juicing and who isn't :D
I didn't remove the overheat, It would not seize, and the overheat would kill you if you let the weapon fire to long instead. If you were able to conceptualize it you would see how difficult it would be to use in AI and AV.
Obviously if 3 people think it is a bad idea it must be /rolls eyes go read a book kid. There are 50 mouth breathers for every productive person on these forums, and the reason there is so much trouble getting positive change. It is like a real life zombie movie lol... brains.....BRAINZ!

The answer is in the thread I posted earlier I was trying to stay somewhat on topic here. In order to change the meta without raping ak/gk they would have to give shields a similar capacity to armor which would be a poor choice instead of balancing one weapon. It would require generalization of shields and armor killing the uniqueness of ck/gk and dumbing down the game. It would also require every weapon to be re balance because profile values would change across the board completely destroying the progress the devs have made.

You could use the info from the other thread, but since the info doesn't really matter to you. Go ahead and give me your magic fit that defies math and I will give you the calculations for it or even better please prove me wrong I welcome the thought of it.

Listen do the math yourself if you don't believe me... I am pretty sure most people duel tank anyway... and as if it wasn't obvious by the over performance of projectile weapons.
