m33t3y M33T3y INC 1	Posted - 2015.05.15 12:02:00 - [1] - Quote The rail rifle is supposed to have the longest range but, plainly put, doesn't. I die all the time as a caldari assault even when putting 100 -200 yards between my target. Its usually an assault rifle or scrambler rifle. Why not put sharp shooter on RR if thats the RR thing? P.s. I have maxed out proficiency in RR .
TooMany Names AlreadyTaken Going for the gold 1176	Posted - 2015.05.15 12:10:00 - [2] - Quote The Caldari Assault should have the same Rifle bonus the Gallente does... not the stupid reload bonus. RR range is at about 80-85m.
Russel Mendoza 7th air cav 106	Posted - 2015.05.15 12:49:00 - [3] - Quote its a freaking load of bs, it suppose to have the longest range, but, it has the worst kick of all the rifles. i love the rail rifle even though they made a mockery out of it. i once went 38/0 until they nerf the damn thing. back in 1.8 or 1.9. I'm the biggest Dustard in the universe!!! Summoning technique "Gorgon no jutsu" Vehicle request accepted.
LUGMOS Corrosive Synergy Rise Of Legion. 3994	Posted - 2015.05.15 13:00:00 - [4] - Quote The kick makes sense, but the shake... Even when it isn't kicking, the sight shakes sooooo bad... It hurts. Sniper Rifles are for Nitrogenous Dioxide Borons First to PM me with common name wins (no Hyansaru, u win too much ;P)
jordy mack WarRavens 456	Posted - 2015.05.15 13:49:00 - [5] - Quote try using meters not yards.... might help. kidding, i agree its a bit hard with all the shakiing to even see who ur shooting most times. id rather it slowly kick up with each shot, so i would have to keep adjusting my aim, at least u could use the range and the scope without going epileptic.

RR is still 10x better than AR, even with the ridiculous shake. 'Sault AK.0 - Logi AK.0 - Logi GK.0 - Scout GK.0 - 'Mando MK.0 - Masshole in every sense of the word.

P.s. I have maxed out proficiency in RR . The RR really benefits from upgrading the prof, with the RR being one of the most powerful weopons the shake/dispersion is a fair trade off imo. I've also found Gallente is able to use the RR quite well, so if you're looking for a little more survivability try it on a Gal Assault, it's really important to practice and get timing and everything down too. Only your complete and total awareness is needed, nothing else will do. ----- OSHO

P.s. I have maxed out proficiency in RR . Rail rifle doesnt have a significant range advantage over the scrambler rifle, and it certainly doesnt have a dps advantage. Rail rifle also has ** handling and starts bouncing all over the place for some reason, while the scrambler is ridiculously accurate and has no charge mechanic to deal with to drop the accumulating kick. Just use a different rifle, and a different dropsuit, these things are not going to be fixed any time soon, Ive been talking about how ** the rail rifle is for months now. Edit: seriously stop using it, drops in usage are one of the things CCP looks at to kick off investigation into balance, if you keep using this weapon regardless of how bad it is, it is much less likely they will actually decide to fix it.

Start spitting rounds at what should be your optimal only for the red to turn around & gank you outside of their optimal. Evening Boys, Hows the water?

Stefan Stahl Seituoda Taskforce Command 1189	Posted - 2015.05.16 15:12:00 - [20] - Quote One general point I'd like to add is that in my opinion handling should never be used to balance performance. The base idea is that - since this is a game - using any weapon or equipment should be enjoyable. This is mostly the case - except for the RR. It just isn't fun to use due to the ridiculous kick. Even if it can be used competitively - it's a chore. I'd much rather have a reduced kick - even while hipfiring - and trade that for another 3% DPS. Once the DPS split to the other rifles is large enough that automatically forces the RR out of CQC and achieves the same thing - all that while being fun to use.

Do you know that we're talking about game, not IRL? You do realize that suspension of disbelief is a critical aspect to a good fantasy or scifi game? Otherwise it comes off WRONG. But I've said it before. Dispersion is good (to a point) for long range weapons and recoil for short range. But we have high recoil at long range and high dispersion in close. WoW has taught me that Purple means Legendary. This means Quafe suits are the optimal loadout for killing all of you.

RR range is at about 80-85m. That kick is just atrocious. Makes it impossible to actually hit anything at range. Which is why the Arr is king in my book. That higher ROF helps mitigate that terrible kick. And that bonus to reload is just utterly ridiculous. Yea, so you won't be killing anything in a single clip at range so you will probably need better reload speed so you can keep shooting bullets at the target until they finally pop. It's like the worst bonus of the assaults. Tanks - Balancing Turrets

Except that its terrible at long range too, and is far outperformed by the tactical scrambler and the laser rifle.
