Rorsch MK4 unneeded nerf

@Tank2042Man 

You could be right, but I don't think I've EVER been killed by it in a tank, and while I don't main tanks, I do use them occasionally.

The rocket spam from M5s and Lis missiles is usually what kills me in a tank, or Rodeo Mackay/Squirrel girl and C5.

Like I said I have the Rorsch T1-ed and probably wouldn't have ever touched it again anyway, but I definitely won't now, lol.

I just personally didn't see the need to nerf them, just my opinion.

It's not a sniper first of all. Its a rail gun, based off the mrk1 from bf4/2142 the only sniper that has vehicle damage all tho it got nerfed pretty quickly due to small number of safe space living babies that didn't like that it was good at its job aka the NTW-50.

The nerf on the Rorsch MK4 was absolutely not needed, it was basically perfectly balanced, I have been killed by people using the sws, dxr, gol more times then the Rorsch, I rarely seen it used at all, if it was so over powered then why was everything single person in each game not using it? The issue is dice decided too listen to.

some tiny little safe space corner group plus I'm sure the YouTubers who made videos saying it was so overwhelming and powerful didn't help either,

because in reality you gotta have some laggy * internet or using hacks or playing on a toaster to win any sort of mid range close range even long range engagements with it effectively. Once again another weapon that had its place & play style. But now its just useless, joining the other nerfed ,useless * in the pile.

Excuse my pour ability to write properly lol

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.
