If you have trouble aiming with the recoil mod on it (and presumably maxxed out), you either can't aim for shit or you're deluding yourself somehow. Sounds harsh I know, but I just used a latron p (they have the identicite recoil) with a full power recoil mod and it didn't move a centimeter. I was actually missing targets BECAUSE I was so used to the recoil that I was pre-firing and missing shots by centimeters. And HARDLY any damage? You mean two-shotting level 45 enemies is bad? It may not be absolute A list top tier, it may be a B-lister weapon, but up to level 50 is still, as far as I'm concerned, pretty high up there, considering most other weapons quickly fall off once enemies hit 35+. But this is a DRM (Dedicated Marksman Rifle), and it rewards accuracy and target acquisition skills the most. You HAVE to aim for the head to be effective with this one, which is not hard at all considering corpus heads are the biggest targets, grineer heads are oddly easy to quickly aim at in the center of all that armor, and if you're fighting infested with a latron, you really need to develop deductive skills. So the damage is medicore in bodyshots, but it blasts apart targets if you can nail the headshots. So my only two guesses are that you aren't aiming for the head or are just bad at headshots. Not trying to be offensive, just observational. Sorry friend, but the latron is really a skill weapon to use it to it's full potential. If I can run in a lvl 35 environment with a level 10 latron p with just a single forma on it and only a serration and split chamber, and just wiping the floor with everything. And if you're gonna say "hurr durr, no one is talking about those scrub numerals, we're talking the big game here, where only the best of the best can make do" - well, sorry friend, but the endgame is only a PART of the game. A lot of the content is at the 30 and below mark so it makes something like the latron p/w - completely viable. Is it godly? Perhaps not as the Vectis p or Paris P is, but it's a very satisfying weapon to use and just methodically blow one head after the other off, and it just feels like a really slick carbine that can pack a punch if you can aim right.

And formas are dirt easy to farm these days. I used to run 40 minute survivals and defenses for a single one. Now, you can speedrun fissure missions and have a dozen of them for literally 1/3 of the time it used to take to farm a single one or two if you were really lucky. I just got my 3rd forma, I started doing forma runs 30 mins ago.
