yes… or “you could carry all that extra ammo” (likely picked off your dead comrades)
BUT…
you’re going to be very, very, very heavy, and will reload much slower…
all of this would rely on AI being actually good however and not wandering in front of your sights, and bipods that actually work and are functional
All of us agreed about MGs overperformance during beta times - a simple MG34 was just as, if not more, accurate than a FG42.
I nonstop sniped people across the entire map in full auto, MGs were without a doubt broken - but still, dispersion will always be a nasty ugly mechanic for balance.
This was arguably a time period before everyone even had a taste of assault rifles. The top SMG for axis were MP 35s, the M2 Carbine is missing its present-day quintuple buffs in a row, and Berlin wasn’t out yet.
Would be nice to have actual mgs again
What do you mean “again”?
We never had proper MGs.
Carry over from the last time i had an “mg” in a game (our talk the other day made me install bf V again…hope there are still populated games)
dispersion balances nothing
1- low recoil smgs have HIGHER dispersion than high recoil ones.
what does this balance anything at all ?
2- dispersion AWARDS run n gun lunatics not punish them. Take a lmg and hipfire while moving and you are guaranteed to shoot someone even some on them are totally out of your aim angel thanks to dispersion. How does this retardnes serve balance at all ?
3- comparing an automatic rifle to a lmg is like comparing an apple to a banana. One is for high power support in cqc, one is for fire support from long distance
