You say suppressing fire WORKS, but then you say if someone shoots at YOU (I'm assuming you mean in game) then you would get on the SAW (or have someone else do it) and kill them. That makes no sense! If suppressive fire were WORKING in game, then why in the hell would you grab a SAW and return fire until they are dead? Seems to me that if it was really WORKING in game then you should be seeking cover and protection from their SUPPRESSIVE FIRE, and then you can worry about returning fire and achieving "FIRE SUPERIORITY".

So what you mean is suppressive fire is ONLY WORKING for YOU in game, and not anyone else. ANY weapon fired at you will have the ability to suppress you. Doesn’t matter if it’s a SAW or not. Unless you are just a dummyhead and are willing to expose yourself to the chance of getting hit only because you REFUSE to be suppressed. Well in real life bullets couldn't give a dam about whether or not you refuse to be suppressed.

Also how can you agree that the accuracy statement Wolfe made is correct, and then say if someone shoots at you from afar you will return fire. These rifles in game are soooo accurate that if you get shot at from “afar” then you will mostly be hit and downed from afar. With overly accurate assault rifles likes these in game there won’t be a firefight and thus no need for suppressive fire now will it. Almost no one seems to miss their intended targets in game. If suppressive fire were working in game, then you wouldn't see lots of guys running around out in the complete open. They would be looking for cover and concealment. The only safety in this game is to NEVER stop moving around. These rifles are SOOOOOO accurate that if you stand still for any length of time you are dead meat, cause these rifles don't miss.

The difference is though that you have a SAW or support weapon and they do not. The SAW is accurate as hell and if you point it at them and they stick their head up, they are likely to get hit or wounded. Now, add that rifleman or two next to him and you will be able to suppress them long enough to move up or at least kill them. If the support weapons does kill him, then it is likely that the rifleman will. Simple as that.

Maybe the reason why people run out in the open is because they have to? There are plenty of places where you cannot hide or have to cross with no cover. Most of the time when I run across the open, I usually get shot or killed, so your argument really makes no sense. If I have 5 other guys running with me though across the open and returning fire or covering me, then my chances just increased by 50% of making it to the other side.



So you would rather have the weapons super inaccurate in order to have a firefight? Then what would be the point of a firefight then? I could just run across the open and actually make it to the other side without fear of dying. And trust me, on a map like EJOD or Basrah, there are plenty of firefights. Just don't keep your head up and take occasional shots and you will kill someone.



It is not hard to shoot a rifleman either. You act like they need to be super inaccurate. The M16 is not a hard rifle to shoot in real life.

Rico11b wrote:Yes I know all about the M16. I carried one for a very long time. I DON'T want the rifles to be SUPER INACCURATE, nor do I want them to be SUPER ACCURATE. Which is how they are now. I understood fully what you were saying, however most of the time in game it doesn't bare fruit. If you have a SAW and the other guy is a Rifleman, then at medium to long range that Rifleman will own you most of the time. That's just how it is in game. Mostly cause he has optics and M249 doesn't. As it stands the assault rifles are STILL way to accurate. In game weapons ARE way more accurate than the real life weapons they are supposed to emulate.

• Real life: The crowd parted like the red sea even though most of them were carrying riffles and other weapons. The mere sound of the .50 caused a mass panic because nobody wanted to be hit.
• PR: The crowd drops to a knee and 200 single-shot AK-47 bullets hit the .50 cal gunner between the eyes.

In a real-life combat range, no.

Of course a riffle is more accurate, but who in their right mind would even THINK about sticking his head out on the chance he'll be hit by a .50 roaring in his direction.

Black Hawk Down:
Hate to use this as an example, but it fits perfectly. Remember when the humv's were trying to leave the city the first time and were being surrounded by the entire city with guns? And the seargent ordered the .50 gunner on top to "fire over their heads"?

Moral of the story:
You can't just plug in real-life ballistic accuracy and expect the game to reasonably play out like real-life. Unless you compensate for the human element of fear, panic, and it's effect on natural reactions, you're only going to end up with an unnatural result: a .50 gunner laying down suppressive fire and the rifleman who pops up and head shots him in .1 seconds.
