Subject: Thought Experiment: 3rd Edition Rapid Fire rules are re-introduced, who are the biggest losers?
How are you dealing with Bolter Discipline if shifting the general RF rules back to 3rd? Because if you are not changing that, then all the units that qualify (TDA, Bikes, etc) are going to benefit massively

Nerfing rapid fire back into the stone age is going to be a big boost for anyone who has the option for an assault weapons. Like the entire Primaris line. You will never see the basic rifles again. All the the modern assault versions are balanced against rapid fire with the modern rules. It will kill all? the classic marines, as they are stuck with basic bolters. Things like shotgun scouts might come into vogue as cheep filler.
It will be a relative boost to armies like Eldar, which do not rely on rapid fire.
