Medics, are you craving more effective range?

If I may be so bold as to make a small suggestion:

Try and work your way up to the MP-34. (Medic level 16)

I’ve found this gun to be a very versatile addition to the arsenal for my fellow field surgeons. When I first got it, I feel like I specced it incorrectly. I went for a larger mag and lesser vert. recoil when I started with it.

“Why need more ROF on an SMG I’m trying to augment my range with?” was my line of thinking. It is very controllable at range, but man did I suffer in CQB after that. The standard 514 ROF just isn’t enough to be very effective up close.

After tinkering with it some more, I reset my specs and chose higher ROF this time as well as quicker bullet speed. Made a " { " sort of shape with the spec tree. (I don’t have my game in front of me, so I can’t name the specific ones I picked)

I’ve by far had the most success across as many different engagements as possible with this setup. Keep full auto for closer distances, indoors, etc. Swapping to single fire is key here, and is a unique advantage not seen in many of the SMG’s. I would argue it edges in over the MP40 as the best “at range” SMG with this setup. The MP40 lacks a single fire mode, and I don’t recall having quicker velocity as an option in the tree (I could be wrong tho)

Arras, CQ, defending A from attackers coming across the wide open field from waaaaay over at F. I was able to put it into single fire, and from the 2nd floor of the barn there, took down 3 attackers one by one by one. 2 didn’t even have a chance to fire back, and I won out my fight with the 3rd who was also a Medic with my better accuracy. If you can nail headshots, you’ll start to MELT people

It remains to be seen if DICE will adjust the SMG’s with the upcoming patch; the MP-34 might help tide you over and give you more of a fighting chance at further distances

Ill take a look into it. I need more range when I’m trying to save my crew.
