NO

I could give you a number of reasons why this is a bad idea. But I won't because everybody knows tham light machine guns are already strong enough.

We don't need a rapid firing marksman rifle.

i dont know them, tell me why its not a good idea

Is it with the scope or without the scope?

Yesterday on Archer I managed to scare off a LMG gunner who was firing at us for ages with just my AK-47 due to using good cover etc. Couldn't kill him but providing you use cover its not that bad. But he is very deadly if you are in the open but that really goes for any weapon.

Auto Riflemen are easy to scare off. If you shoot in their general direction they'll have to move out of the way of the bullets, therefore they can't fire anywhere near accurately anymore, then you can move up. That's how we roll.

Because they have very low recoil, they're already very effective at range. I've made hundred of kills with LMG's at very long range while shooting in controlled bursts at targets 3 - 4 pixels big


I say

1.6x

at most.

But assault rifles with irons sights should also have a small zoom, for the sake of realism. Yes you hear me right. 19" - 22" displays show everything much smaller at distance that a real world soldier can see with his own eyes.

I think that was me

When you are suppressing a bunch of guys by yourself the 4x zoom is great, but when they start getting good cover and returning fire, it is scary because you can only see so much when you are zoomed in.

but if you knew anything about scopes you will know that scope is a 4x zoom....

Agreed. The tunnel vision it creates as well is part of the difficulty of using it. If your enemies are skilled and use cover appropriately then they can easily flank and put fire down on you, meaning you have to move, and you will have difficulty firing back.

Also. Please try playing it before posting threads like this.

LOCKED

I could give you a number of reasons but we all knows its because this change hasnt even been implemented publicly yet so we have no basis for any bashing of the concept. Not to mention its realistic, and that just giving optics to a machine gun doesnt detract from it having deviation and accuracy issues far greater than a marksman rifle.

Wait to play it before complaining[and offer some actual reasoning next time please, this post was incredibly frustrating to read and had it offered some real argument would have possibly remained open]
