It's OP against the meta, not AS much on shields, but it is better than the other rifles and is good on any suit, making it very versatile where the ScR is pretty OP, but mostly so on an AmAssault.

The Combat Rifle is considered overpowered by players who:
1. Believe that anything that kills them with regularity is OP 2. Armor Tank and feel like their HP should make them Senti-Strong. 3. Believe that the Matari Assault is OP and want to take something else down with it.
Looking at the stats however, it's DPS (and therefore TTK) is in-line with the other rifles, with it's differences being apparent based on which suit it's pitted against (like the other rifles).

If each bullet does ~30 damage, multiply by three, against armor, plus prof and dmg mods.
I don't know exactly what the damage is, but it is at least 30 I believe

But actually CRs/ACRs about equally as ScRs. Does less damage and all due to profile -- but the damage application is damn near the paper DPS. Other guns no where near that. The last one I get, the first two, not so much.

CR isn't even half as OP against Armor as ScR is against Shield.

defending the CR on Min Assault is like defending the HMG or Breach AR.
Only issue with the CR is the Min Assault bonus taking away from the weapons only balancing feature since it's damn good at everything else and costing sidearm level CPU/PG to equip. It's annoying on most suits but I don't call it OP, the problem comes when you have the ability to keep your high RoF, DPS, recoil, decent ranged weapon constantly on a target then you'd get a problem.
That's like if the Gallente Assault was given a bonus to Range. You know how OP that would make the Plasma Rifles then it makes the Breach into Jove mode? Another weapon that has very little drawbacks besides the one main one...then we just get a bonus to negate the main balancing factor of the weapon.
Let's give RR more damage if we are to have this mindset. Let's get rid of Laser Rifle heatbuildup even more and give it more damage.
Yay! Now no weapons have the weakness and counters they were supposed to have!
As long as 4/5 (80%) of infantry AV weapons are Anti Armor based you're never going to achieve vehicle balance CCP

ACR, CR have the highest DPS around all rifles. [modded ScR and tAR doesn't count]
Ps. #Atiim. Minmatar assault have the same/equally amount of hp/regen as rest. But additionaly it has scout speed. It's just broken.

Its remarkably powerful. Comparing it to the scr is a joke though. The scr needs heavy sp investment aim and practice. The militia acr on the starter fit tears everything apart. Overpowered? Idk but i definitely find it WAY more reliable for killing everything.

This is what I don't understand, why it costs so little to fit, I remember back when my assault had a crappy 5/2 slot layout and low fitting capabilities the combat rifles fitting felt perfect, like they designed it around that suit and they way it should be fit. Problem being is that You don't need to use it on the min assault and more importantly the min assaults slot layout and fitting capabilities are greatly increased so i don't see why it has such a low fitting requirement still.

Well it is a low-mid range weapon, it's not like the scrambler(mid-long) doing 400+ damage from 8 meters.
And let's be honest, the Caldari aren't exactly the picture of CQC, no matter how much these idiots brick tank them.

YO FOR REAL THO.
On militia suits with militia shield extenders, sure, my ACR can wreck it pretty quick. Advanced and above I probably won't get a kill on shield suits without reloading or switching to my sidearm unless it's super close range or I manage a lot of headshots. That's with a Six Kin ACR too. Even with goddamn calscouts. And the ACR does literally NOTHING past it's optimal. Sure on some maps it's not always a problem, but on other maps it's THE WORST F-CKING THING.

Well for starters, the exact same thing could be said about the Amarr Assault using a Scrambler Rifle as it also mitigates its only weakness, being the Heat Sink.
Claiming that it has "sidearm level CPU/PG to equip" is misleading. The CPU/PG of the most used sidearms rests at 57/10 (SMG), 55/10 (BoP), and 48/8 (SCP). While the PG is indeed similar to the CR, the CPU is far less with a differences of 24-33 (about 30-40%, which quite a bit).
Compared to the other rifles its hardly significant, with it having 3/9 less than the RR and 8/4 less than the PR. The only times those will ever make a difference is when stacking as many Complex items as possible, but even then downgrading 1 module will let you save more CPU/PG than swamping to the CR.
Though it should be noted that with the Assault's bonus, all of the Light Weapons (even the SCR) are given "sidearm level CPU/PG" which further removes the weight of that statement.

Let's give RR more damage if we are to have this mindset. Let's get rid of Laser Rifle heatbuildup even more and give it more damage. I don't consider damage to be the RR's weakness, as only has about 55 DPS less than the PR but when done properly increased damage boosts on the RR can be done without being OP, as noted by the Caldari Commando.
However you can nearly achieve both of those results with the Amarr Assault, as with 3 DMs you can get +17% and since you only overheat with 20 shots in the mag you'll never find a target you can't drop before overheating.

I would believe but.... no I get the same kills and deaths with both a amarr and minmitar assaults.... and I'm more than triple the amount of SP investment into minmitar assault than the amarr.... though it could be the fact I'm used to multi-rolling
One might say... I'm very skilled... yet I'm his apprentice... So what does that say about my mentor?

CR is fine. I use a DMG mod regularly with the CR but I still prefer to shoot shield tankers with my breach ScP. Well, it's true, all the slow ass armour tankers have a hard time dealing with CR, naturally. But dealing with armour tankers with the CR still takes more time than dealing with shield tankers with the ScR.

Only reason the cr feels more powerful is that it's harder to outstrafe the amount of bullets that it spits out.
The ScR shoots way less shots, so a fast strafer can doge a lot of the shots, so dps on a strafer decreases more than with a CR. At range the difference isn't that big, but medium/close it gets obvious. |

Why people doing these NERF/OP threads. Honestly i do not get it.
We still do not have implemented all weapons in weaponary and we trying to put some balance. First we should have weaponary and discuss what is or just seems OP later.
Trying to make diferences in weaponary now is completely out of sence. Because we will have issues with weapons implemented later.

It doesnt take all day for the devs to tone down the CR, either reducing the DPS or adding some kind of kick, its a major problem for a lot of people as it chews shields as well. Dont really think its on ScR terms of OP but then again I run shield fits

I really wouldn't call it OP. It really does not have its stopping power of previous builds, and it can be a nightmare, when used against shield based suits.
Its real benefits are its versatility, scope,and moderately low fitting requirements. |

You can't honestly tell me it's because suddenly the suit is 'balanced'.
Well for starters, being used 2.5% more than the other leading brands isn't much of an accomplishment. Not that it matters, as usage does not equate to power.
As for why it's the most used, I covered this in another thread.
Atiim wrote:The first (and probably greatest) is because it has a balanced slot layout, which means you can tank it however you'd like. This effectively reduces the need to invest into another dropsuit as you can change tasks at a moments notice, whereas previously if you wanted to be diverse you needed to invest into 2 Dropsuits (ie, a Caldari Assault who needed an Armor Tank would have to spec into either a Gallente or Amarr Assault).
The second reason, is because it increases the magazine size of the Combat Rifle (2nd most popular light weapon, and best Anti-Armor rifle) and the Sub-Machine Gun, which is by far the most popular Sidearm. These bonuses make weapons players want to use even better, while also providing you with a solid platform to put it on. This is also why SCR users tend to invest into the Amarr Assault.
As for it being overpowered, it's far from. No matter which way you fit the suit, it is still subject to the weaknesses that would come with using that fit on the specialized version (ie, if you Shield Tank it you'll be weak to SCRs and ARs like the Caldari Assault is).
That, and when trying to mimic the functions of a specialized suit, you won't be as good as said specialized suit (ie, you can Armor Tank it but you'll never be as good at Armor Tanking as the Gal/Am Assaults.
Now my challenge to you, is to find one thing that makes the MinAssault overpowered that can't be reproduced on any other dropsuit. If you cannot, you're reasons for wanting a nerf are solely "because it killed me".

The "because #armormeta" argument always makes me laugh.
Consider for a moment: Three Complex Armor Plates on a Gal Assault versus Three Complex Shield Extenders on a Cal Assault. I think that's a fair assumption. We'll go with raw DPS values (even though this isn't accurate because everyone pulls the trigger at different speeds) for fairness.
Gallente Armor: 639 Caldari Shield: 562
Proto Combat Rifle (with Prof 5) DPS, no damage mods: Shields: 504.9 HP/s Armor: 785.57 HP/s
TTK: Shields: 1.11s Armor: 0.81s
So how much difference is there, honestly? Talking a whole 0.30 seconds. That's about the time it takes to charge up a Magsec SMG. It's -not- that big of a difference. The weapon is powerful in it's own right and saying that it's because of the Armor Meta is sort of flawed because you'd have to go and assume that the weapon has Proficiency 5 for any notable difference. If it isn't [at prof 5] the DPS to armor is 683.1 HP/s which makes the TTK 0.94s, a grand total of 0.17 seconds worth a difference. That's slightly less time than it takes you to blink.
Suffice to say, you'd probably lose more DPS being generally inaccurate but that's a fat chance given the thing's dispersion is so amazing compared to other weapons. And if this "armor meta" really is such a problem then why doesn't the Scrambler Rifle struggle more than it currently does? Why doesn't the Assault Rifle struggle more than it currently does? Just saying, the data speaks for itself.
Not saying it's "OP" but the Combat Rifle isn't used with such extreme regularity because of the "Armor Meta", which only exists in Pubs anyway.

Vs Armour, Yes. But then its supposed to be. thats like asking if the LR is OP vs Shields. an equivalent tier CR vs Shield tanker is pretty terrible. even on a proto skilled minmando with complex DMs and max skills you can struggle to break a well tanked C-I
whats 'OP' (technically broken not OP) is the LR's heat build up and damage vs Armour. the damage multiplier for the length of firing the laser needs to really be looked at. it far negates the -20% damage to armour that other laser weapons have to deal with. its the only weapon that still broken and been made more OP due to the effective ranging being brought down from 30m to 5/10m. there isn't really much downside to using the LR now.

Atrium hit the nail on the head.
It's about versatility
Atiim explained the MinASS perfectly The CR is also very versital in both range and against either Sheilds or armor. Other rifles do things better wether it be ranged/CQC or damage application but the CR can hold its own in most circumstances while not performing as well as other weapons.

Have you not heard of skill:power ratio balancing in games?
Harder to use items/abilities are more powerful.
The LR is one of the harder to use weapons in the game. And extremely situational besides.

lol bo**ocks is it. i'm a terrible FPS gamer with a dualshock3 that is held together with dirt and prayers and i can use the LR just fine. if you plug in a $20 laser mouse you can get pinpoint zapping with it too. tank the s**t out of an Assault Ak.0 sit on a building 100m away and just happily sit zippy-zapping away with it. if we're talkign about using skill:power ratio then lets boost the crap outta assault forge guns cos hitting a dropship at 200m away with an assault forge is something that takes real skill

In game, the ScR is a close-medium-long range weapon and it functions properly at those 3 ranges. The Caldari Assault i saw get melted by a Boundless CR was using a Proto Cal Ass with Duvolle, and i doubt he was brick tanked cause he moved way to fast and tried to strafe, but still died to that Boundless CR pretty easily.

Pretty much my gripe with it , it's a mid range weapon that excels in every category except long range and that's for the RR and LR but an ARR and any CR can melt a AR / PR user in their own range factor .
It will kill in a CQC with a AR / PR , just like a ARR would and that's just not the intended purpose of the weapon .
AR / PR should be CQC but it's not by any means .
CR is by far the best rifle in the game because it can do everything except kill at far ranges with consistency , but I have seen cases where someone dies at range by a CR so that too is just another factor , it's just so easy to get headshots with that rifle at dam near any distance .
If one is taking multiple shots , you get hit by a CR and you might as well wrap it up , other guns at least give you time to react even if hit by multiple fire .
The RR was changed so it wouldn't be as effective at CQC with the exception of the ARR but the CR is just so good at darn near everything , where all other weapons have noticeable drop-offs . ( i.e. overheating , the least range and charge time / kick . )
I've experienced and seen the same thing Myron .
Edit : By far the best strafe to kill weapon .
Doubts are like flies and should be treated as such and crushed .

The only things that take less are the HMG, SMGs, and the ACR. But all four of those weapons are just bullethoses by a different name... None of them have any real drawbacks to their use, besides requiring the player to get within 40m, which is trivial in a game where the objectives and map assets are consciously designed for close quarters combat.
And I have used the AR. A lot. Every vet has. Remember when it was the only generalist rifle in the game? I had to use it then. Not enough has changed about it for me to conclude that it hasn't become anything else but a low skill weapon.

Which is totally why I defend weapons like Plasma Cannons, ScRs, Lasers, Nova Knives and all Pistols, while berating weapons like AR, ACR, and SMGs... I like higher-skill weapons Aeon. I can't help it that all of the Amarr weapons so far have generally higher skill caps... I've petitioned for low skill Amarr weapons. Like and SMG or a shotgun, but CCP doesn't give a **** about Amarr ****. Take a joke, dude. While you're at it, don't ever insinuate that the AR is a "low skill weapon" unless you want to show everyone how well you fare with it. Its definitely one of the lower skill weapons in the game. The only things that take less are the HMG, SMGs, and the ACR. And swarms too, I guess, but for obvious reasons I'll just ignore them... But all four of those weapons are just bullethoses by a different name... None of them have any real drawbacks to their use, besides requiring the player to get within 40m, which is trivial in a game where the objectives and map assets are consciously designed for close quarters combat. And I have used the AR. A lot. Every vet has. Remember when it was the only generalist rifle in the game? I had to use it then. Not enough has changed about it for me to conclude that it hasn't become anything else but a low skill weapon.
Mhmm. S'why you don't use it now, right? Too low skill for you? You're one of those dudes who consciously aligns to weapons that are for dem l337 gamers.
AR is a lot different now than it was prior to 1.7 bro.
Have a suggestion for the Planetary Services Department?
