It's the trade-off in an attempt to balance high cap magazines from the TR. That is an attempt to balance DPS over longer periods of time than a few second fight. People don't care usually or notice because reloading happens outside of combat for the most part.

Re: factions not unique enough?


It's a helpful secondary characteristic, but when you run out of ammo in the magazine when you need to still be shooting the difference in consequences between 2 and 3 seconds gets quite fuzzy. When it's tenths of a second, it's hardly a differentiation.

And it's not really an "advantage".
In ARs The NC/VS weapons have largely similar reload speeds. In fact, among comparable weapons, (HV-45 vs GR-22/Carnage, all high-rof, 143 damage, 30-round) the NC has faster load times by tenths of seconds while the TR's are slower but have 10 more rounds.
In the other ARs, where VS holds a reload-speed advantage, the NC is up a damage tier so has much more damage per magazine (Except the DMR, an oddball - up two tiers and down to 20 rounds but a better reload).
...Comparing NC ARs to the Corvus, the only VS 163 gun, the standard Gauss Rifle reloads faster (and has better ROF), the other 163 is the 'S' with higher ROF and the "Burst" which is doesn't fit well.

The difference in recoil is unique enough for me. :| Everything else is just fluff.
