MGs dont kill in one shot - maybe selectfire rifles shouldn't aswell

Yeah, whatever. This argument is so pathetic.

The newer AC games (starting origins) also have more players and have made more money than the old original ones. If that’s popularity for you, ok.

I could care less that this game is popular among people I have nothing to share with.
Those games just made for a completely different kind of people. They’re made for consumers, not gamers.

I wouldn’t be playing enlisted If I only played games based on how popular they are, lol.

Besides my two level 3 allied sniper squads, I use three BAR1918A2 MG squads, 2 BAR’s in my APC and use one Radioman squad when I fight in level 3. I Love the BAR so I incorporate it much more then the Thompson. I will on occasion use three MG13 squads when I am playing for daily or event objectives of killing X amount of enemy with MG’s, however I really only play level 3 allies with MG squads. When playing level three Germans I use one MG34 squad I, plus two MG34’s in the APC, the rest are assault or sniper/rile squads.

Only thing I cannot defeat with a BAR is a melee weapon. :rofl:

Which brings me back to my main point, BAR does not kill in one shot unlike T20 and FG42 - simply because its a MG and not a select fire rifle.

Luckily not Enlisted.

True, I made a poor argument.
But I still think BF5 MGs are great mechanically and would suit enlisted.

You’re right, but it does kill better then my Thompson :joy:.

Everyone has a different understanding of the word camping anyways.

Sitting on the same spot for the whole duration of the match, 95% of time doing nothing. Just waiting until enemies pop up.

MGs are usually stronger than rifles due to longer barrels/stronger ammunition. so they should absolutely do more damage than semi autos in the game. the best solution would be to increase MG damage by 2 or 3 and make them more cumbersome to use/give them higher recoil when not mounted.
this way they get their real life power and also feel more immersive to use while being nicely balanced.

Personally I don’t like it at all, for many reasons

  1. I don’t like the idea of esentially the same gun magically doing 2 times more damage just because.
    Overall damage is consistent with a few exceptions and I’d like it to stay this way.

  2. Imo all weapon classes should have a role. Personally I’d remove SF rifles and if we have to have auto rifles for rifleman, I’d give them ARs. Much less problematic balance weise and more HA friendly.

" MGs dont kill in one shot…"

wrong! OFC they can. Tested it out in a custom battle against bots. I killed that bot with 1 shot in the upper body sector (not in the head). I also killed the second one with 1 shot in the upper body sector and missed the 3rd one.

So no need to reduce the damage on the rifles because MGs can killed a player with 1 shot. But ofc it depends on the distance and if he might uses vitality as perk.

But yeah I have no issues with increasing the damage on the MGs a little bit. :slight_smile:


Yeah I’ll agree with you here. Different guns for different playstyles
Although I think the BAR should remain more or less the same lol

It might help in slowing the game as well
…or just shift “meta” from triple MG Squads to triple Assault Squads

Everyone who tries to win will eventually use vitality- which is why it is my standard HP measurement.

MGs dont kill/down against vitality with one shot.

Select fire rifle do kill/down against vitality in one shot.

Also, some select fire rifles dont kill/down against vitality + paratrooper extra HP or soviet body armor in one shot. (spoiler Soviet rifles are not part of that list)

Well, you could sit in the same spot. I’d probably use it more as a mobile turret. Moving around, plopping down to mow down a couple people, move to a different spot, rinse and repeat just getting different sight lines and locations…maybe

Only for min/maxer’s. Gimme medkit regain

Okay faster revive can also be meta I guess

Faster up n more upon revive. That’s my goto. Lol. Screw aim speed n vitality

well I won 84% of my battles and don’t use the vitality perk except on MG squad and I only use one in my squad layout. I prefer a different gameplay with more stamina
