Rorsch MK4 unneeded nerf
This last patch is so aggravating. Since when have vehicles become too weak and have under performed? I don't think a single Tank or Aircraft have been destroyed by a single Rorsch sniper. The charg...

Changing the charge time is the most annoying way it could have possibly been nerfed, that throws off the muscle memory and timing of people who have put in the hours to improve their skill with it. I'd take a further nerf to bodyshot damage over that if they think the damage output is really that much of a problem.
I also expect it to get passively nerfed even further when the class masteries are implemented because it isn't technically a sniper rifle and probably won't benefit from the Recon class bonus despite filling the same role.

Yeah, I would've rather have reduced damage than the charge time. It does throw everything off. There was a good pace before, but now it is too slow, especially for moving targets.
After adjusting to the longer charge up time. I can live with it, I'm not thrilled about it though and I still think it's too long. I would obviously love a reduction in time by any amount, even if they split the difference and it was 0.9 seconds instead the full 1.0 second would be okay. It still has a place and I can still be effective with it.
They really need to revert the damage reduction though. If anything they should have increased the damage with the increased charge time to balance it out. You can really notice the difference and so can the pilots. You're basically tickling them and saying "hey I'm over here, come on over and get a free kill". Before it felt more effective and persuaded them to go away.
The only damage reduction that makes sense is against heavy ground vehicles. There was no need to reduce it against light vehicles.
How the update should have looked:
- Heavy vehicles now take approximately 25% less damage
- High Power Capacitor Charge Up increased from 0.8 -> 0.9 second.
