I understand the balance changes, however, the slug is a bit too powerful.

I absolutely agree with you. For once I think something is OP, but because of the additional changes they tried to make to change TTK.

Ya with no punishment for cqc either (self damage), the slug is basically a precise shotgun that out guns my raider up close. The un-zoomed shot is obviously too strong, i can hardly track its tiny A body as it whizzes in and out of shields air dodging (no aim impact for flying) and the like. The slug makes the am-sar useless once again, the fire rate on the am-sar is a joke, no alternative to the slug. Coupled with the fact it has the best fuel regen of the A's and a quick walk speed, this mech is straight up to painful. I want it to be a bit challenging to use, but all this mixed together is too much.

an interesting change to slug and sabots would be if they reload faster while zoomed. so they have normal dps in sniper mode but lower dps when not. on the other hand thats just an other version of lowered damage when not zooming so maybe not.

You've clearly taken a bump to the head, dear chap.

agreed, because slug is a hard to use weapon because you there's not splash damage so you forcely have to hit the other mech and thats rreally hard specially A's with airdodge so its a good reward for a hard to use weapon
P.D that's my opinion

Give a larger damage penalty to slug while unscoped. Allow Am-Sar to do full or near full damage unscoped. Maybe this will make the am-sar a more viable choice on reaper and ss while cutting down on the slug rifles advantages cqc.

right now the am-sar is so slow you end up getting penalized big time if you miss a shot, i loved this weapon pre-steam i think it can still be good. I would like to see the fire rate up'd so that i can contend in an open field engagement against slug reapers.
