From the PCG article VS weapons will be balanced by having high recoil but they are immensely accurate in single shot and no need to compensate for bullet drop.

I don't think that's quite right. I'm pretty sure that having a "high recoil" means the VS get a value rating of "High," not that the recoil itself is high. And based on past comments I'm also fairly certain that VS weapons will suffer from damage degradation over distance more than the NC/TR will. This is supported by
this Planetside2.com article on the VS, where they state:

I would really like to get some sort of confirmation on that, though.
I posted this elsewhere but it merits repeating. I think the High/Medium/Low stats on that PC Gamer graph are values that signify quality/desirability ratings. So to make it a little more clear, let's replace the color codes with grades A/B/C (I added degradation as well based on what we know):
VS
Accuracy = A
Recoil (Burst Fire) = A
Recoil (Sustained/continuous fire) = A
Rate of Fire = B
Damage Per Shot = B
Damage over Range (Degradation) = C
TR
Accuracy = B
Recoil (Burst Fire) = A
Recoil (Sustained/continuous fire) = C
Rate of Fire = A
Damage Per Shot = C
Damage over Range (Degradation) = B
NC
Accuracy = B
Recoil (Burst Fire) = C
Recoil (Sustained/continuous fire) = A
Rate of Fire = C
Damage Per Shot = A
Damage over Range (Degradation) = B
