I really don't understand this logic.
"Weapon A is Underpowered. Dropsuit B has a bonus for Weapon A. Buff the bonus because Weapon A sucks"
So then the weapon still sucks for all suits that dont have the bonus? If a weapon is underperforming, buff the weapon itself, not add arbitrary bonuses to certain suits to fix it. Treat the source, not the symptom.

Current Commando bonus basically makes your standard weapon perform like it is proto. There are minor differences of course, but the 10% is significant

Treat the source, not the symptom. My thoughts exactly! But CCP is apparently making suits specialize which I like (within one specific race) so other races will be encouraged to use their own faction's to be the most powerful. Now every other AR: RR/CR/SR/LR can be awesome no Matter the race. They're very powerful weapons. I just see the heavies as judged and overlooked more often than not because they're bigger (which is racist and bigotry)  but seriously no Gallante Heavy: Sentinel or Commando can be justified by their use right now. Just because they used to be OP does not mean they still are but that mindset is still fresh.
....Except they're not.
You're correct in that we should encourage racial matching through bonuses. However, the other bonuses for assaults for example, boost general handling/performance but don't directly increase instant DPS. I feel this could be problematic.
Let's say you put the AR on a Logistics suit. It's a pretty meh gun.
Now put a Combat Rifle or a Rail rifle on a Logistics suit. It's pretty damn solid.
Post FoxFour, the AR will perform properly on the Assault, yes. And it will be lethal. But the gun is still going to be terrible on any other suit (Save perhaps the Gallmando. It's still not ideal but it performs decently enough)
If you have to buff the AR on all suits to make it good......you should just be buffing the gun itself. I would have much preferred a moderate increase to the DPS of the AR itself, and then if they wanted to add a lessened bonus to the GalAssault I think that would have been more appropriate. Make the AR more viable on non-assault suits, and then make it quite a bit better on Gal Assault.
Pulling numbers out of my ass, I think it would have been a better idea to go
+5% DPS to Assault Rifles themselves
+10% fire to bonus for Gallente Assault

Everything you just said is what I said and agree with you too; not quite sure if I conveyed myself clearly enough to you. Not sure where you disagree. My point being they should help the Gallante Commando somehow someway because the AR sucks for the most part.(except for the tac) its pretty much the only version able to fight with the other AR's. Look how many buffs the Assault recently got this year alone! And then there's the Heavies. Both Gallente Commando and Sentinel. I'm just fairly unhappy with the new purchase (with SP the Commando (proto)) of trying to be zealous for the Gallante. Hell the basic Gal heavy is better than the Gal Sentinel right now!
And I'm saying you help the Gallmmando by buffing the weapon itself, not giving the Gallmando another bonus to buff and underpowered weapon.
