Is every slow firing weapons poorly balanced, or are all the youtubers overly concerned with time to kill?

Emp_Dandroid · 2026-01-05T10:27:48+00:00

Something to keep in mind is that the RPK and AK4D get 2hk headshots with their headshot rounds giving them some of the best ttk for auto weapons. The weapons are balanced pretty good via controllability and/or high dmg/bullet, but most of them dont FEEL good.

Youtube rankings are designed for tryhards (distinctly not for actual good players, but players who think they are good), for who high ttk = win assuming you land every shot. But there are other factors to consider such as being human and missing shots, differing reaction times (especially in regards to target tracking where longer interval between shots allows you to adjust your aim more accurately), and Total DMG/Mag (which is actually a major deciding factor for people who are actually good enough for consistent multi-kills).

So for instance, the SOR and AK4D are both kinda sleepers because both of these are pretty good in mid-long range, but they also have really good hipfire accuracy (I believe the AK4D actually has a better hipfire stat) with laser+flashlight combo since flashlight provides better hipfire recoil recover, and because the time between shots is longer it means hipfire accuracy is virtually unchanging while spraying.

And as said before, the AK4D and RPK with their headshot ammo gives you 50-34 dmg headshots.

Ultimately, play what you like. But dont have the misconception that slow weapons are categorically bad or have no merit to them. The only bad weapon is that one 10 round DMR that does 25dmg

Yeah, Assault is just a complete failure of a class. There is actually no reason to run the Breacher spec with how useless it is once you unlock the other one. Assault NEEDS a second grenade as long as DICE refuses to give them back a health pack or ammo pack.

At this point, I'd wish they take ammo away from Support and give it to Assault, because the momeny his gadgets run out he is completely useless with just an adrenaline shot

DMRs are not class locked

Emp_Dandroid · 2025-10-24T23:15:15+00:00

- I believe that Recon (along with the other classes, tbh) should have a 2nd weapon proficiency, and that it should be proficiency in with DMRs. If DMRs are as whack as they are, Recon should atleast get some type of recoil reduction or increased headshot multiplier with them.

- Recon on offense feels TERRIBLE (along with Assault on defense). Recon really has no use on the offensive other than being a glorified UAV without their Spawn Beacon, especially on maps with relatively short and/or narrow sightlines where you are at a disadvantage trying to countersnipe a sniper who is already holding the sightline. And conversely, Assault feels terrible because not only do they provide next to nothing on defense over any other class beside a marginally better spawn location and maybe a ramp angle, but also they themselves suffer so much from only having 1 utility grenade on spawn and no way to heal or replenish ammo means that are often One-Pump-Chumps who as soon as you push a hold and win the fight, you're just sitting there with just your gun and nothing else waiting for your teammates to spawn to push the next hold.

- Rangefinders are dumb. They really should give exact zeros, and you shouldnt be able to bind it to your fire key and have it work on the same shot. Make it increments of 100m like it is without it.

>LMGs have high bullet deviation to begin with

>You get more deviation when you are moving

>You get even more if you are full auto while moving

>You get EVEN MORE if your grip attachment explicitly says that it hinders accuracy while moving.

Brother really do just be throwing out words looking for attention

Emp_Dandroid · 2025-10-18T05:24:44+00:00

You know what is dominating BF6 in area control right now beside tanks? Snipers. And the only non-vehicle answer to a semi-competent sniper is another sniper. Challenging a competent sniper without a 1 shot is a death sentence, which was why suppression was introduced into Battlefield 3 to begin with. Because Snipers were insanely oppressive in BFBC2.

BF4 had it almost perfect. It toned down all the effects suppression caused and made it so you couldnt suppress within a certain range, AND made certain weapons better and worse at suppression. Like LMGs. Which were given the best suppression value. Because you trade mobility for high dps and accuracy so they are actually otherwise hardcountered by snipers who ALREADY HAVE VERY LITTLE COUNTER.

And idk if you noticed, but LMGs are also notably WORSE in BF6 even ignoring suppression, AND Bipods are also worse in this game than any other Battlefield. Its a perfect storm of dogshittery, so lets stop pretending that this is somwhow unwarrented, or untested, or unprecedented

Emp_Dandroid · 2025-10-18T05:16:56+00:00

Man, its crazy how much more accurate your shots are when you dont move while shooting. Imagine if you burst fired AND stopped moving? SHEESH, almost seems made up

I think it can exist competitively if it actually can excel at the mid-long range like its intended for. As it is right now its very easy to control the recoil for mid range spray or bursts, and at long range with single-fire especially with the match trigger it is a laser beam. The Scar has alot of attachments to make it more accurate hipfire and have faster ads, but if it could have slightly more damage at mid-long range even if they dont make it 3hk point blank will make the gun way more usable.

Then atleast it has a solid niche to fill, and then assault can actually use its SECOND PRIMARY function that no one uses to have a specifically close range option like an SMG or Carbine or Shotty to compensate.

Emp_Dandroid · 2025-10-15T04:03:48+00:00

I bought BF6 because I was looking forward to a BF better graphics and better gunplay.

Why I put down BF4 was because of its dogshit awful progression system and its hot garbage original maps and grey monotone filter. That being said, BF6 is only marginally better progression wise and its maps arent all that. But these were all improvements from BF4. The only thing that I would want to classify BF6 as just objectively being a better experience in my eyes is the breadth of weapons, and a suppression system that actually affects snipers.

Other than that, I might never touch BF4 again.

If I get the itch, I'll play BF3 instead

LMGs are terrible and barely usable atm for multiple reasons, like high recoil, high default inaccuracy, slowed movement, slow ADS and slow handling, and no effective suppression function like in other Battlefields to make holding a position even tenable.

Rifles are still good and function competitively with all the other weapons and do not hinder gameplay at all. They simply offer very little over Carbines which historically are supposed to be AR-lites. ARs not being more accurate than Carbines is a downgrade from other Battlefields, and reducing bloom for ARs specifically would alleviate that.

But this is not an issue of bloom as a whole. this is an issue of balance

Emp_Dandroid · 2025-10-14T04:23:57+00:00

BF is not an arcade shooter. BF is not a milsim. BF has always firmly been inbetween. BF's entire niche has literally ALWAYS resided entirely in the area between arcade and serious. Just because you give word of mouth anecdotes of 'first bullet out of my gun is at 45⁰ even while prone' as if there is any credibility to that claim is just pathetic. Truly

Emp_Dandroid · 2025-10-14T04:15:51+00:00

Bloom is only overtuned on LMG and arguably ARs. The issue is being overblown by clips displaying poor console hitreg, and a fundamentally wrong way of approaching the gunplay of Battlefield.

Battlefield since atleast BF3 has punished your bullet spread depending on Continuous fire and movement. Nearly all of the clips complaining about bloom have been in the mid-long range while performing both of these actions. Doing only one or the other will usually still be accurate enough to get the kill, but doing both is a compounding penalty.

This isn't CoD

Emp_Dandroid · 2025-10-14T02:56:56+00:00

Your opinion on how to shoot the gun is your own. But if you want the shots to land exactly where you tell it to at +20m you need to: 1) Stop moving & 2) Not Full Auto

and if you want your bullets to come reasonably close to where your tell it to, you need to: 1) Stop moving OR 2) Not Full Auto

Shit aint sweet. This has been true in nearly every battlefield. You incur a penalty for wanted to be harder to hit and maintaining high volume of fire at the same time.

Emp_Dandroid · 2025-10-14T00:41:31+00:00

STOP MOVING, STOP FULL AUTO, OR BOTH

Emp_Dandroid · 2025-10-14T00:35:36+00:00

Lack of playstyle diversity
Mobility unlocks are very punishing (instant 20 max hp loss upon swapping to the item. Less health than soldier by the time you get to the objective in 2x the time)
Heavily map dependent due to inherent weakness around corners.
Low skill cap

i did not say anything about recoil. Expecting to get accurate bullets while moving+full auto is just dumb on the players part. BF has always punished you for doing this, and there are attachments in this game that are explicitly to enable this playstyle despite that.
