The Rupturers have not been touched in several months.
Since the argument is specfically CTS vs. Rupturers, I'll go ahead and post the actual numbers for the two items:
CTS > Rupturers
Damage: 54 > 65
Rate of Fire: 84 > 85
Missile Speed: 21 > 30
Accuracy: 118 > 138
Ammo: 14 > 15
I think Rupturers > CTS the more I look at this. The reason the accuracy stat is higher but the in game accuracy is lower is related to throwing weapons losing accuracy based on having higher damage. I think it is sufficient to say that Rupturers outdo CTS in enough ways to make up for being slightly less accurate. You should also keep in mind that Rupturers fly through the air significantly faster (~50%) which definitely has an impact on how accurate you are (drop off, reaching Nords before they move). The point is that if Rupturers had the same accuracy as CTS, they would be very OP given their other stats. When you are talking about balance, you need to think about all of the stats, not just the ones you want to be important.
