It’s Vertical and horizontal recoil are extremely wild, it’s reload speed is really bad but it’s acceptable as it has 30 rounds along with faster sprint speed it’s a good side nerf but that recoil with bad rof is really what makes gun unplayable.
Recoil tests:

Only while shooting with bipod it’s more manageable:

I really want to use that event squad but it’s just unplayable when compared to other American MGs of BR2
Buff it’s recoil and rate of fire (it should be 600) but keep same very slow reload speed and mediocre velocity as it’s cons. Or take it to BR3 after buffing even more as new alternative to BAR.

I think this would ruin it, there’s enough BAR variants and BAR like guns as it is.

Yea the Charlton really needs a buff. The gun’s high vertical and horizontal recoil + very low rate of fire + LMG moving dispersion all combine together into like a perfect storm of terribleness.
Charlton should stay BR2, its the ONLY lmg for the allies there that doesnt have a giant magazine sticking up in your face

Yeah, I think every faction other then the Soviets have a BAR wannabe in their “repertoire”.
Took me a while to find the proper use for that word. 
It’s good to remind them about that issue as they still haven’t fixed it. While m38/42 got corrected pretty quickly and not just that one gun but other german/italian smgs with it’s real values.
