[![Video: Assault Is the New Sniper Class - BFV Closed Alpha](https://battlefieldforum.co/uploads/default/original/3X/b/b/bb21051de596c09b07f990ea0b3523846c235d64.jpeg "Assault Is the New Sniper Class - BFV Closed Alpha") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXRWwBtjbMI) Assault has so much more ranged capability now. Sound got delayed a little for whatever reason. ---

I uploaded a higher quality video. The free version of Lightworks was compressing it down to 720p. I’m trying out Wondershare Filmora now. It’s still not as clear as the original though. I wish I could find something for free that doesn’t pixelate trimmed videos so much. Edit: Actually, I think it’s Youtube causing it. ---

> [@SRI\_simon](#): > > i mean to be fair this can be done in real life so its not really an issue It’s a balancing issue. Realism is irrelevant. What’s the point of playing scout when I can just kill you from long range as an assault player or medic instead? Unless he immediately pulled off a headshot, I still would have won the engagement even if he hit me due to assault and medic’s faster fire rates. ---

I think it’s less range capability, and more absence of entirely random and artificial spread causing the gun to be incapable of hitting targets past a specific range no matter how accurate the user is. ---

Once it’s open to the public and people play as they do there will be someone camping every corner waiting to hose you down, you won’t be picking those fights all that often and get to fire away uninterupted. That said the StG44 was one of the best german weapons and is hopefully a very hard unlock but I doubt it. ---

I was also moving slightly while taking those shots. I would think there would at least be some more inaccuracy while strafing. ---

Apparently single fire mode is better. ---

So having RBD in BF1 is bad. Now having ARs back is also bad. You people need to decide already. ---

Not in this thread, but in hundreds others in bf1 section and in countless BF1 videos people are crying about casual gunplay. ---

It seems I was lucky to get the fun I did out of the scout class during bf1. For me this gun meta is a deal breaker for buying bf5. ---

I saw quite a few people complaining about this on twitch. The gun has no downside at all, it beats smgs in cqb and is just as good as medic and scout rifles at range. ---
