jesus effin christ, I didn't suggest "MAKE IT LAS0R BEAM ACCURATE SO I CAN PWN EVERYTHING" . . . . .
I only want to lower the spread by only that much so you'd be able to HIT an enemy standing
5-10 feet from you. I'm not asking to make it rifle-accurate ffs, only make it at least SOMEWHAT accurate so it's not a fucked up artificial mechanic that spreads bullets all over your screen like it is currently done with handheld AT weapons (where it's fine, though).
It wouldn't replace SMGs in any way, mainly because of rate of fire and still a slightly higher spread. And recoil.
Edit: Currently things work pretty much like they should. People with MG's fire from fixed positions, while SMG's and rifles do the attacking job.
See, BAR is an
Automatic
Rifle, not an MG. And these two were used differently. I'm fine with the deployed BAR requiring you to lie down, but the 450rpm version needs to be fixed. It's not about it replacing SMGs, not at all. It's about when I find myself in CQ with a BAR in my hands and enemy behind a corner who storms me, I want to be able to take him down.
Be able. Currently I'm not (unless I ADS... in CQC... I'd rather use my fists in that case, if that was possible). Oh and yes, I'm well aware you have a sidearm, but having to switch to a pistol while you already have a weapon that is perfectly capable of taking the enemy down by common sense, is plain stupid.
