Well, it is pretty strong but I really don't see people using it anymore. At the beginning I thought it was ridiculous to two shot people with a medic rifle but now everyone seems to use either the Federov Avtomat or Selbstlader 1916 when medic. I agree with you though that weapons balance was very lacking in this game, I honestly think they just didn't know how to balance the WW1 weapons when you include the slow fire times and the odd reloads compared to BF3/4 where everything was just a magazine. I am keeping my fingers crossed this huge update this month will make things a lot better.

I just really want support guns to be better personally at the moment as most are hard to use.

It looks like the patch was released yesterday, I am gonna play a bit today to see what's changed. I haven't played as much BF1 as I used to since PUBG came out but now that I am getting really frustrated with PUBG I'll probably go back to BF

On the server that I play on. Medics are out in force using that gun because It can just 1 shot people in HC mode. I can have full HP then get hit in the chest or head from across the map with an RSC and it would be instant death and its happened so much that it isnt funny anymore. BF1 is just utterly frustrating because of the weapon balance, some of the map design is utterly shitty too and some of the challenges to unlock new weapons are just aids.... For instance... getting 300 kills with one of the shittest guns in the game or shooting down a plane with an LMG. There are loads of challenges like these that really detract from the overall enjoyment of the game. I understand they wanted to make you have more of a 'sense of accomplishment' when you finally finish the challenge. but it honestly makes me hate the game so damn much that Id rather just go and play a different game most of the time.

Mark my words. new weapons will be as unbalanced as the ones that are currently in the game.

Ohh, I have not been playing HC lately. I need to try that out and see whats going on in that mode. Yea now that I think about it a gun like that in HC mode with the multiplier would be a 1 shot KO. Yea that is broken.

Yea all the level 10 gun bonus versions (Or whatever they are called) were a pain to unlock just because of the time it took. I don't understand half the level 10 guns in this game, like the Martini Henry and Hellregiel make some sense because they are oddities in the classes that are cool to use. But the Selbstlader 1906 is just a worthless gun (Especially when its younger brother the Selbstlader 1916 basically does its job much better) and especially the Huot automatic which I am confused why they not only limited its ammo supply below what it should be on the real version (Not that the gun was ever in full production, but the test versions) but why they did that and made it the level 10 gun. Not sure what the thought process was on those two...

Rest of the unlocks were sometimes a pain (They seem to have learned a bit of a lesson down the line as they have become less painful with the last weapons additions) especially that LMG shooting down a plane challenge (Which is one of the only guns I have not unlocked).

Well from the basics we have seen on the new guns some seem to be very odd to say the least already. Not sure I am going to like many in the Apocalypse DLC.

If you ADS with any gun that does not have a scope, you're doing it wrong. Hipfire everything.

I got so sad with the state of this game that I just spent 10mins digging about in my attic to find my battlefield 2 CD. At least the weapons were balanced.

Doesn't work with the LMG's.

Did you try the new patch? I have to say after playing some hardcore I agree with you on that RSC issue which actually got worse with the patch since it now has even more range to be a 1 shot kill.

Though I will say the new update to the three classes is great from my point of view (Least from what I have played over the past two days). I tried the M1903 experimental again, its at least useable now and feels to be ok on close quarters matches but still suffers at medium+ range.

I played for an hour roughly.

LMGs do too, just not as far.

Besides, if I understand the new patch notes, the LMGs are now lasers when bipoded.

Though as i said to someone yesterday. The patch doesn't fix the issues that the sweet spot mechanic for sniper rifles created, so DICE just made everyone stronger and therefore just made everything worse as none of these patches deal with the increased spread and random bullet deviation that magically happened when you're suppressed.

When you're suppressed, you have a better chance at hitting the enemy if you aim to miss. Great "skill" mechanic.

Since the new PC is up and running I decided to load into a game to see how she handled. I only played 30mins of sinai desert and it felt more or less the same coming from a 3930k to a 8600k. Since i was on Windows 10 now I also enabled DX12 and tbf it was nothing that special. I only played part of a round though and I havent seen other maps so they might be different.

I dont think loading into a game of BF4 will feel any different either. temps hit around 63-67'c although I think I may need to tweak my pwm fan profiles.
