Does the DLT-19 Heavy Blaster have any advantage over the RT-97C?
In the wikia entry for RT-97C Heavy Blaster it says:
The RT-97C outclasses the DLT-19 Heavy Blaster in every way, making it a critical upgrade for any players that prefer using rapid-fire heavy blasters as their primary weapon.
But that seems kind of crazy, every other blaster in the game has a situation where its useful. Why would the game developers and staff spend the time making a model and coding it, only for it to be the one useless blaster in the game?
I notice that some blasters lose accuracy the faster they are fired, but that stat isn't recorded anywhere. Perhaps the DLT-19 maintains more accuracy while firing?
Is the DLT-19 Heavy Blaster totally inferior to the RT-97C?
Once someone unlocks the RT-97C is there any game advantage to using the DLT-19?
Best Answer
I just found this on the DLT-19 wikia page:
It should also be noted that currently, the DLT-19 is outclassed in most categories by the RT-97C Heavy Blaster, possessing inferior damage, zoom, and spread, however the DLT-19 has much less vertical recoil, and is much more accurate.
Commenters on a reddit post for this question have mentioned that the DLT-19 is better for mid to long range combat and the RT-97C is better for mid to close range.

Answer 2
Let me put at this in "real weapon terms". The DLT-19 is like the M16, and the RT-97c is like a flak gun. The first is more for anti infantry at close range, and the second is for long range or, rarely, anti-air.
