My problem with the CAR is its weight.  It's too weak to be a primary weapon on a weapons class, which means that it should be a caster AR.  But.... it's a little bit too heavy to be a caster AR, because weapon weight really starts to negatively affect your power spam once it starts dropping below 140-150%.  If the CAR weighed the same as the Mattock, I would use it all the time on caster classes.

 

And the thing is, the CAR doesn't need to weigh as much as it does.  That's the sad part.  Making it weigh about 0.8-0.9 at level X would only serve to put it in the "not obsolete" category.  It wouldn't make it even remotely OP.  Right now, the CAR just doesn't do enough damage to justify taking it over a Phaeston/GPR/Mattock/Lancer, or even a decent-level Valkyrie on a caster class, because you're going to do more damage with your power spam anyway.

 

I agree (Except on the Valkyrie part, which is actually HEAVIER than the CAR, and takes a lot longer to NOT be even heavier, I tried to compare it to non-URs because not everybody has UR Xs). No AR beats the Lancer for casters, period. The Mattok IS slightly lighter, uncommon, and bigger punch per shot, those are all undeniable advantages. I also like the GPR (though wish it hit harder), it's like a GPSMG without the recoil or charge-up delay for slightly more weight, I'll take that obvious upgrade.

I prefer the CAR over the Phaeston myself too. But I'm big on accuracy also.

The Valkyrie at mid-to-high levels is only slightly heavier than the CAR and does much, much more damage, with pretty comparable accuracy.  It's really hard to justify taking the CAR over a Valkyrie once the Valkyrie gets to about Level IV or V.  Even low level Valkyries are closer in weight to the CAR than the CAR is to the Phaeston.

I have Valkyrie VI, still MUCH prefer the CAR.

The CAR X is objectively a much worse gun than the Valkyrie VI, considering weight and damage.  Still, just because a gun is "better" doesn't mean you have to like it better.
