I play mostly TDM and quite sick of the wait till they land and strike game so I bought the INF weapons and played the whole day yesterday trying to master that air det.

Did you really buy a weapon in beta and assume that it would stay the same without balance changes? Besides, chances are all the gold will be refunded within the month.

The Jackal, for what little time I fought against it pre-nerf, was both a roach-playstle enhancer AND a d* good pure killing weapon. Because you get comparable damage to an Arx Buster and sticky projectiles like the Arx Buster. But you could detonate them mid-air for full damage and knockback, circumventing the Arx Buster's main flaw in pure combat; the need for either a direct stick or really lucky stick on the ground near an enemy to damage them. So you could have called it a Arx Buster with much better kill potential in mid-fights on a class meant for deception and kills made within the enemy base/territory through that deception. _________________ EVERYTHING

I main Inf, and have even before the January mega-patch when rino/SN7 was all you had...

The Jackal was stupid OP. This fix is a good fix. You can still knock cappers off course with MA shots, even if it's not as much, and indoor combat has not been affected.
