Heavy Missiles were never OP. The only issue that Heavy Missiles ever had was that they were pretty much equally good at both close and long-range combat, to the point that Heavy Assault Missiles, which were notionally designed for short-range combat, were useless. The recent changes to Heavy Missiles have solidified their long range role, and given Heavy Assault Missiles a purpose again.
This is all that needs to be done with the Tactical Assault Rifle.
It doesn't need a damage reduction.
It doesn't need a recoil increase.
I'm not even sure it needs that much of an ROF decrease.
All it needs is an increase to hipfire spread to reduce it's viability in CQC, keeping it performing well in its role of mid-long range attack, while allowing the Standard and Breach ARs to have a place in the fight. |

+1
I do better at cqc with the tac, than with any weapon other than the smg. Its hipfire capability is absurd. |

Exactly. It does very well at what it's supposed to, but also does well at just about everything else. That's the only issue. |

Maybe cap the rate of fire for the mod controller users.
But yea keep it mid to long range.
Short range it should suck, make the hipfire spread huge. |

Nope, hip fire won't fix it.
There needs to be a clear damage reduction.
Give it the laser rifle treatment, if its lower than the intended range, it does 30% damage.
There is the problem that even scoped using it in close to close-medium range is still VERY effective.
Heck I get a lot of kills like that myself. |
