    @EA_Mako feels not powerfull when using heavy ammo, the feeling is the same as with r99 and lite ammo.
    and the recoil, is hard to control during movement and no extra mag. it's empty in sec, but hard to hit with it. Have to practice more I guess.

@RevMainPls 

What makes you dislike the CAR as opposed to say, the R99 or Volt?

    @EA_MakoI just cant see why you would pick it over r99, it just feels like a filler untill you get a r99

    It has higher recoil than the r99 and doesnt outperform it even if you would master it

        @Ryuta47 Car SMG has too much recoil for me, I have been resorting to either a Volt or a Flatline this season and occasionally R-99 or Rampage but idk I’m just not feeling the car but I guess its just the current map and how spread out and open everything is so it might be a better weapon on King’s Canyon or World’s Edge where most fights are close range

    @EA_Mako I don't think I hate the CAR, but I feel like it's the least "time invested to damage in game" SMG. The recoil pattern is harder than the R99, the damage (for this scenario a 1 on 1 in close range) seems to favor the CAR, but many more players can handle R99 recoil in a fight to match true DPS while few players can handle the CAR recoil in fight. I don't think it's bad, but I still dump it for the R99 or even Prowler if I'm feeling hot

    @EA_Mako I think the biggest drawback is the recoil is drastically different than the other SMGs. Even with the Purple Stabe/Stock. Sure it does more damage but the goal of an SMG is one clip to drop one person and then reload. The 99 and especially the volt can do this really well and we can predict where the recoil is going.

    The dual ammo, not really a selling point. It's not like switching from one to the other does anything different. There's plenty of ammo everywhere that you are never hurting for either one. Nearly every deathbox has heavy/light.

    All in all it felt like you were trying to fill the void of the select fire on the prowler without giving us the select fire back. You were better off just giving the hop-up back and tune the prowler a bit instead of releasing the CAR.
