The amount of snipers on CQ is not that huge, but I would like to see the 3x sights removed from assault, that would lower the amount of “assault class snipers” ---

Yes please, people tend to abuse using Snipers in small game modes as TD. There has been occasions when the whole team was snipping in Hamada and would respawn back in the same spot the whole game. ---

when they add sniperlimit u will have people that camping with other guns or waiting in menu for sniperslots…it will change nothing. ---

People need to realize too much sniper equal losing and kd drop , no such thing as u losing but kd aren’t dropping . Playing a sniper doesn’t increase kd in bfv , so switch class if the team need it ---

I think the Pacific maps have ended this discussion. Recons aren’t in abundance in the Pacific and why? Because the maps are well designed. The beaches of Iwo Jima could’ve been a hole watched by 50 snipers every game but they aren’t thanks to the undulation, tiering and presence of bits of cover There aren’t even that many douches lying prone in random places and why? Because there’s enough cover that camping is too nerve wracking for them because hostiles can easily flank them and do whatever they want with em All this game needs to balance the class numbers are more good maps. Once most of the maps in-game are good it’ll become blatantly clear that it’s a joke how weak recon is ---

I’ve ended up playing recon loads more than normal on Pacific storm (breakthrough) as the spawn beacon is needed to island hop. The auto trench carbine helps here. ---

> [@Major\_Pungspark](#): > > The amount of snipers on CQ is not that huge, but I would like to see the 3x sights removed from assault, that would lower the amount of “assault class snipers” Major\_Pungspark I’m curious as to why 3x sights for assault players are suddenly an issue in BF5 when we’ve had them for years in the previous Battlefield games with the ACOG sights and even in BF1 when you could change the magnification of your iron sights. ---

I agree with this. The problem is not scopes, it’s the too low amount of recoil coupled with too high muzzle velocity compared to the scout’s weapons. The same goes for support and for medic it’s just the too low recoil. ---

Recon is my second highest kd. > > 1. Support > 2. Recon > 3. Medic > 4. Assault I played support a couple minutes trying that new MMG we got free part of the 4 pack for the update. Running around like RAMBO. Standing and firing it turned partial side ways. Remember the spot on the tv to aim for to get them kills. I did so so. I’d have to check the rate of fire on it and compare it to others then go with the fastest one and maybe try again today going RAMBO on the new maps. I’d have to check if I leveled that gun up at all for specs. ---

The same goes for support and for medic it’s just the too low recoil. It boils down to average TTKs at range.

Same here tho I prefer the ZH. It’s actually kinda funny how few other people I’ve seen do this. It just goes to show how few people actually have this tactic in their repertoire, well that and how few people are willing to drop their Garand for an SLR or PC If anyone here’s in any doubt about whether or not the SARs are just better than the SLRs just spend 10 minutes as a recon using an SLR and then pick up one of the garands.

It just goes to show how few people actually have this tactic in their repertoire, well that and how few people are willing to drop their Garand for an SLR or PC Its almost the crux of the whole ‘too many scouts’ debate. There can never be too many getting on point, putting up flares and placing spawn beacons but if you have too many camping, of any class, you will lose objective based game modes. ---

Much better would be to raise the skill curve by making **all** guns require actual aiming skill and recoil control instead of just the scout’s weapons.
