Medic weapons are garbage. And bipoted campers, the way this game is meant to be played? [RANT]

Just completed the last MP40 gold-mastery.
(which took me 4 rounds for the last 3 masteries)

The gun is just insane, the whole medic kit perfectly fits together.

Smokes, rushing in, killing your enemies with mp40 in cqc and heal yourself.

I guess many people here think too stat-wise.
Also i guess that many of you are not aiming down sight but instead using hipfire most.
(The only time i did was for the different masteries).

With the MP40 you have a brilliant way to kill almost anything - even snipers.
Just dont spam autofire and try to use the MP40 as what it is: A rather slow firing precise SMG.
In Bf4 you would have called this type Carbine

Except that Carbines had better spread values, more damage, better damage drop-off and a better ROF.

The medic guns are in exactly the same slot as carbines in BF4 - some of them also in the PDW category.

You can’t compare the spead value, damage or ROF - because if you do so you need to do this to the assault guns as well.
I can’t see a stg44 with 800-900rpm and 1000m range yet (compared to e.g. the AugA3). Also the spread of the assault weapons is immense too.

BTT: The medic guns (mostly the MP40 and the Sten) are completely viable at the moment. I am no godlike player but still the MP40 is my best gun currently even though I played the 1-5 for over 1k kills.

I bet many of the complainers think that SMGs are “hipfire only” and therefore upgrading the hipfire perks.

Try to play the MP40 or Sten as a carbine - and I bet you will love them.

The topic has been discussed to death and everybody that played all classes knows that medic class suffers… a lot!

• SMGs’ niche is up to 9m. After 9m they go from 4 BTK to 5 (same BTK as the ARs). Also, SMGs go from 5BTK to 6 at 25m while ARs only become 6BTK at 50m.
• ARs are INCREDIBLY more accurate
• ARs also happens to have SIGNIFICANT faster RoF than SMGs beside suomi and thompson
• ARs also have bigger mag capacities by default (31 vs 20) than a lot of SMGs (suomi, thompson, MP34 all only have 20 rounds)
