@EA_David I like using the Scout over the Longbow most of the time, to be frank. The longbow seems to be more effective from a very long range, but I agree with most people that the Longbow's fire rate would be best if it was lowered a tad. Shouldn't sniper shots take precision and focus? Only take the shot if you feel like you'll land it? People spam shots with the longbow now, which I believe is alright with the scout because it does half the damage and can't hit 130 head shots.
Anyway, the alternator is very strong, even without the hop-up. I believe it's comparable in dps to the r99 and has great range. It's a little too versatile. I'm glad it got a buff because no one was using it, but it could be a little weaker since everyone is running one.
I love the scout. Shots feel great and precise. The iron sights are notoriously difficult to use. If it had incredible close-range hipfire it would be an absolute beast, so I would be weary about that change. I've gotten plenty of lucky 60 damage hipfire headshots and won a fight... so it could use greater hipfire accuracy but it's a freaken sniper rifle. I prefer ADS'ing with it at all ranges.
I think it's very balanced but maybe increase/decrease weapons' damages / accuracy based on range. aka. increase the damage of scout shots by 5 if shot over 100 yds.
