I think you can manage the TTK for precision weapons to be nominally faster then automatics, especially given how you need to slow your shots from the max fire rate in order to compensate for bloom and recoil on those guns. As long as the body shot TTK is slower then automatics then it should be fairly balanced.

Scouts and HCs have the worst bloom and recoil in the game, and emphasizing that for hip fire makes them feel different from the hip fire guns like Atalanda-D.

The main issue for Scouts that I see is that they get outranged by auto rifles due to the latter not needing much aim assist to hit at range, and the damage fall off for autos not being sufficient to make scouts a clear winner. Auto Rifles and Submachine guns really need a net reduction in DPS at range right now. That would really offset things without any change to DPS.
