HCAR and HK51 changes seem to make sense. Not bad.

K10 BTK: http://fooplot.com/plot/a2g7hfsdad Red is old, blue is new.
Expect inconsistent performance.

TLDR -
Teamwork is where players function by themselves, but their effectiveness is multiplied when they work together. Not a checklist of "did we bring a healer so we can start playing?"

Ah yes, and the FAL keeps its 840 m/s muzzle velocity.

Not at all OP. Nope. Also, not at all the best anti-air gun in the game. Nope.

So is there anything else useful in the update to make it fucking 8.5GB?

All I see are these, some mode changes and a few generic "fixes".

It's not like anybody plays enforcer anyway....or that Helicopters are relevant.

It took them that long to do that little? Wow, I am really impressed by how ineffective their balancing process is. So much still to do, but let's see what we have.

wtf AKS-74U h recoil reduced by 0.001 - why bother?

HCAR still has 0.3 SIPS. Have fun not hitting with the slowest automatic RoF in the game. At least the stupid v-recoil was halved.
Battle Rifle damage buff sounds neat.
K10 is still going to melt faces up close. Still a shotgun on steroids, but much more reined-in.
*sarcasm *The RO933 is now a really good gun with the same RoF as the M416 and worse stats in almost every other aspect. */sarcasm*
The FMG-9 buff might turn out to be delicious.
Curious to see how the DMRs' recoil reduction plays out with visual recoil and all.

Memorable quotes not taken yet:

Quoted from "NoctyrneSAGA"

Quoted from "Nick 30075"

Of course, this ignores the non-constant cross-sectional first moment of area across the chest as well as non-constant material properties of the boob; it would be difficult to perform a more detailed analysis (as in, I'd have to have a shape function AND I'd need to derive a function for elastic modulus as a function of lateral breast coordinate) but whatever. It's 2am and I'm lazy.

I always believed science should be very hands on experience.

Quoted from "NoctyrneSAGA"

You should also answer this question I had posed in that thread: Would you be willing to pay your surgeon more if he was going to use a chainsaw for the opening incision of surgery? Clearly using a chainsaw isn't truly suited for surgery but that doesn't really matter. If he's "skilled" enough to be able to use the wrong tools of the trade, he should be rewarded for that skill right?

That's funny, The World Champion's HCAR has a sips of 0.15. with a rof of 450 spread isn't your biggest problem, it's mechanics with body armor.
