A medic with a suomi killed me while i was suppresing the hell out of him with the MG42 and the suppresion perk, suppresion needs some sort of effect on accuracy ---

A suomi user shot down my V1, and I believe the medic also used the combat medic perk to ADAD spam out of my artillery barrage. Video? No, I forgot to record but it happened. DICE plz nerf. ---

> [@barnesalmighty2](#): > > No it doesn’t suppression was the worst addition dice ever made. Thank god its gone. I think its tied with 3d spotting, but yeah both are horrible hand-holding mechanics. DICE believes its community is helpless and feeble so they implement as many “dont worry honey the bad people wont get you” mechanics as possible. And no coincidence that these were both introduced with hand-holding map designs where people don’t have to worry about being flanked. Metro et. al. Just plop down and shoot down hallways and don’t worry honey, the game will spot for you and even when you miss it will cast a magic spell on your enemy for you! > \_\< ---

I loved how suppression worked in BF3&4. BF1 made no sense. ---

I agree. Suppression needs a serious buff! Its stupid how you pick the suppression class and try to cover your team mates and the objectives by suppressing that annoying sniper, only for him to HS you? like why have a suppression class in the first place if it doesn’t work? ---

Some kind of suppression mechanic has to be brought back. People who are happy with it gone are the ones who are finally getting a better k/d and now think they are good. If the game can make vehicles suffer with suppression for realism and water effects while running through it splash into our vision then bring back suppression, especially for realism and to make a “Super sniper” while standing for the world to see keep on exploiting the forgotten mechanic that some dev. left out. ---

BF3 did it best if I remember correctly. Blur, sway to a strong effect when being suppressed. It added a nice tactical element to the game that made it unique. BF5 suppression makes no sense ---

> [@LINKERBLOX](#): > > A medic with a suomi killed me while i was suppresing the hell out of him with the MG42 and the suppresion perk, suppresion needs some sort of effect on accuracy Why do you need a game breaking mechanic to get kills? The whole concept of suppression effect is ridiculous. Yeah it’s supposed to replicate the “fear” of being shot, but this is a game. Not real life. The old suppression effect punished good player while rewarding bad players. I suggest you rely less on game breaking mechanics, and practice more on working on your aim. ---

If you lost to a Suomi with a mg42 at a range you think suppression is a viable tactic, you need to work on your aim. ---

Isn’t that good thing? a suomi with 20 rounds that can compete with Mg43 that has 300 rounds and 900 fire rate and also pretty accurate, usually best weapon take out a mg42 is Sniper rifle, or rifle , or if you can flank etc… ---
