You’re absolutely correct. The only thing that required actual Skill (non-Sweet Spot BA rifles) was nerfed into the ground, while the other classes were buffed. This is DICE balance in the nutshell. Go and watch some BFV footages on PC - no recoil, SMGs kill on ridiculous ranges, Gewehr 43 and STG44 are basically all-round guns for all ranges.
I really don’t understand: there were so many complaints about Hellriegel/SMG08/18/Automatico in BF1 (Noobriegel, Noobamatico and etc.), but now in BFV all automatic weapons are basically Hellriegels. Plus upgrade your weapon and add Scope and voila you have universal gun for all ranges. Just run and dominate. Wow, so much skill needed.
Within few months of this “skilled” gunplay, we will have the same situation as we have now in BF1 after TTK2.0: a lot of campers, noone is pushing and all gamemodes are infested by tryhard Assaults with their “skilled” laser guns. And based on what I’ve read it’s already happening in BFV.
