I’m not saying they should not have better scopes, I’m saying the glint should be universal in it’s application for a particular zoom level. ---

I feel like that’s a little extreme, but I don’t think a class should have a solution for everything. Assault just doesn’t have a weakness. I completely agree with the scope thing, either one would help significantly as would only letting recon have 3x and capping everyone else at 2x or 1.5x. Medic needs a mid-range option and recon needs an slr that behaves more like the semi autos and another gadget like dynamite. I think support is probably okay, but taking away 3x from lmgs wouldn’t be a bad idea. There’s a lot of small adjustments would help and many good suggestions on these boards but dice doesn’t do anything about it. I would love to see the raw data on it to see if it’s as inbalanced as it feels. ---

SMGs aren’t effective enough at the ranges you’d typically use a 3x for. Personally wouldn’t add a 3x to any SMG even if I had the option. It’d make them worse. ---

> [@Loqtrall](#): > > Lmao as someone with every smg at level 10 and Mp40 as a most used weapon, no, we don’t need 3x scopes on medic. Every other class but Recon just needs to have them taken away. > > I see the effectiveness of ARs, DMR’s, and lmgs going way down if those scopes are taken away from them. My guess for that comes from the fact that everyone and thier mom I see running those classes does so using 3x scopes on whichever weapon they’re using. Even the damn sweeper. > > There’s no need for that, there’s no need for nearly every weapon type to succeed in myriad ranged combat solely because it has access to the same scope a recon player does. Axe the 3x from every other class and you’ll see this ranged meta go way down. Same here. Totally agree with you ---

Remove the 3x scopes on assault and lmgs. Easy as that. Now everybody just uses 3x scopes, engages from long range and don’t PFTO. Plus i feel ankward when i outsniper a lot of snipers when i use my scopes . ---

The 3x is just another way to fight the garbage-tier visibility. Give semi autos spread increase per shot like in BF1 and perhaps consider adding a bit more horizontal recoil to any automatic that is currently too effective at range. That should help add more balance to the game without removing our bandaid fix for visibility, ie the 3x. Remove glint from the Sniper semi autos as well. Just removing the 3x without changing anything else probably wouldn’t be the miracle fix people think it’d be. ---

> [@FragbaitDax](#): > > You people are missing the point. Let me make it clearer for you, it’s in the name of the class itself: Medic. If you want to play team support, if you want to resurrect players and resupply med packs, then this is the class for you. If you want to assault other players at range, then you should play Assault. > > BFV is a squad level game. There’s meant to be perks and weaknesses to every class because the intent is for you to operate together as a unit. If you adjust your attitude and understand you can’t be all things in all situations then you’ll start to play the game as it’s intended and really find the joy of it. By that logic Recon should lose their sniper rifles and get a self defence gun like an SMG or SHOTGUN but get better reconisance tools. Up close Recon was great in BFBC2, BF3 and BF4. ---

None of the Medic’s SMG’s would really benefit from it. As many others have said they’d be better off just removing 3x scopes from most of the classes (though I think some weapons like Bren should retain it in order to give a Niche as right now it’s an inferior Lewis gun). The Assaults SAR’s should all get 2x scopes to compensate, that or fix the aperture sights to not be so horrendous.
