Buff the spitfire
The spitfire is an LMG it should hit harder than an assault rifle. Why is it that the flatline does more damage while having a higher rate of fire than the spitfire? 14 body for spitty. 18 for flat. ...

No to buffing the Spitfire. It had the longest sustained fire of any weapon in the game, by far. It’s around twice as long as any other weapon. It suffers at close range, sometimes, but excelled at medium. It’s fine.
@DarthVaapar so what I'm getting from longest sustained fire is that it's use is suppressing because player with sense would run for cover. And with this lower rate of fire combined with this low damage they should be healed up in no time. Return the fire back to me with a flatline which hits harder and faster and I'm knocked.
- @Blasian311 I use the spitfire to take on a lot of people. I can and have wiped entire squads with one purp mag of the spitfire. It is a very powerful gun that can do a lot of damage if you hit your shots. I say buff damage but nerf rof because it gives the opponent time to react. Won't just simply mow them over. If I recall correctly, the spitfire received a damage nerf in the past because it was too much, and I agree with it. I think where it is now, is the perfect spot for it.
@SolitaryMassacreI think the damage was changed from 20>18 and mag size was reduced slightly.
- @xx_Dante2k_xx Yeah so no reason to buff it in my mind. It is great how it is. Lets focus on other weapons that need buffs/nerfs.

It just keeps on shooting. You should be knocking them on their way to cover since it never stops firing.

In my experience the Spitfire is best as a secondary weapon. As tempting as it is to use like a spooled-up Devotion, it just doesn't have that "run in and wipe everyone" power.
However that massive mag size lets you keep on pressuring when more bursty teammates need to reload, or that wraith is making a run for it, or if you want to pop a few low-risk shots at someone without worry about leaving yourself with a shallow mag.
Its niche is consistently being able to bring damage, rather than being a frontline ambush weapon.
Just my 2c, keep it comin'.
