In my opinion, there is no NC or VS LA weapon that is as good as the Trac 5 for any amount of certs. Let's not forget about the TX1 Repeater. The Repeater is in a class by itself. There is no other Pistol that even comes close for any price for the VS or the NC. The Repeater is a huge advantage for TR Infiltrators (or Medic, LA or Engineer).
Yes, my main is an NC but I have played TR and VS enough to know what I am talking about. After playing TR HA for several hours, I made the following comments:
and
Everyone in my NC outfit who rolled TR characters with me agreed. In fact, we stopped playing our TR characters as an outfit (we also have a TR outfit) because we did not want to help an empire that was already overpowered and overpopulated on our server and make things worse for the NC there.
Given that TR infantry weapons are so strong right out of the box, why would anyone who is interested in being successful from day 1 in PlanetSide choose any other empire?
The solution to TR overpopulation is to nerf all 3 of their starter weapons as follows:
1. The T9 Carv, Trac 5 and TX1 Repeater should all cost at least 700 certs.
2. Players should have to spend 200 to 330 certs to bring them up to the point where they are now BR1 with no certs.
3. Replace the T9 Carv, Trac 5 and the TX1 Repeater with gimped starter versions of the same weapons that are equivalent to the gimped starter weapons that you gave the VS and the NC.
In order to get infantry weapons that are even close to the starter TR weapons, the NC have to spend over 2000 certs and the VS nearly as much. This puts the NC and VS at a permanent, unfair dis-advantage to the TR.
Make these changes SOE and the TR overpopulation problem will solve itself.

I made an account specifically to tell you you are just another whining kid. I am super sorry you suck at this game so badly you would consider TR infantry weapons having an advantage. I understand that your aim and recoil control are beyond horrible so you need 40 round clip and low recoil to actually hit the wall in front of you. It is obvious your lack of skill impacts your ability.
Now, i have a main TR at 43 rank with 2,77 k/d ratio (that ofc includes a bunch of mossy and tank kills so my actual infantry performance is lower).
I also have a rank 26 NC with a wooping 4,43 k/d ratio. And I play absolutely only Infantry on it since i don't spend certs on vehicles upgrades. The sheer dmg output of the NC SAW for example outmatches everything IF YOU CAN AIM. Even in close combat the shield helps you survive enough to put the bullets where they should be. Same goes for that AC-X11 gun that may have 20 rounds, but it is so accurate and the dmg output is disgusting.
And how about we bring up the question about the MAX (still infantry according to the game) Hacksaw, that rips everything and no max weapon will ever match its dmg output unless they nerf it. And don't tell its ineffective at range cuz i played the shit out of my NC max and you need just need like 2 rounds more at the max range where you actually hit something.
As I explained NC weapons require more aim less spray but when you use them properly they excel above all others in terms of per round effectiveness.
It is not SOE's problem you suck at shooting.
Again, OP, you are an idiot and you should feel bad.
