Because of the medic class, everyone else can self heal too, so that problem was at least almost fixed. But to say that the weapons for medics are balanced is a blatant lie. It is naive to say that the SMG’s can really compete in any range across the board. Solution?
Increase the range before damage fall off
Add versatility to the medic class with single shot rifles, and use the M2 carbine as opposed to the M1A1 carbine.
P.S. single fire action for most smg’s (that permit) would be an awesome middle ground as well ( I’m looking at the thompson because the gun model shows it’s capable of doing it)
I agree that medics should be able to use semi-auto rifles but I think they should have like a 15-20% accuracy and recoil penalty compared to when assault troops use them
Yeah it has a lot of recoil that makes it hard to hit anything past 10-15 meters, but is one of the few smgs you can use to beat assault rifles and lmgs. Anything outside of the Suomi, Thompson, and to a lesser extent the mp28, you can get the drop on these players but lose with any other smg.
I think a really good idea would be giving medic’s shotguns……… Hear me out it won’t make them be spammed. I would like if DICE removed shotguns off supports (they already have 3 weapon types) give shotguns to medics and boom. they have a short range weapon to counter CQB by G43’s and KE7’s. I also think SMG’s are “OK” guns but what they should do is give SMG’s a 2x headshot multiplier like in BF1 to help in CQB, and no it won’t make them broken. the MP40 does about 19 damage a shot and SMG’s don’t get headshots often so it would work in my opinion…
