The Spitfire needs a nerf
It's pretty embarrassing the fact that every low skill player rocks it... It's so stupid the fact that has 55 rounds. Its too broken. You can one clip a full squad and have a few bullets left. I thin...

This gun has been broken since day 1, but now it seems like every single player runs it. An extremely helpful nerf would be to reduce the mag size of each mag for the spitfire by 5-10 and reduce the damage from 20 down to like 16-17. This gun just hits way too hard and it is entirely too overused in high rankings I just hit diamond and all I run into are people with the spitfire spraying and crouch spamming at me until i'm dead because you can't get away from the guns mag capacity.
No matter what anyone says. The spitfire with the current bluffs to its damage and accuracy needs to toned down a bit or put in the care package with the mastiff and buff it back up to what it was before. This game was at it's best when first released when it came to fun and balanced gunplay.
- @Blazed_Cajun Exactly but ever since the dumb buffs and over nerfs to characters and buffs and nerfs not even needed such as with the spitfire ruins the game. They have caustic trash, spitfire overpowered, Loba's jump drive broken, Audio broken, Wraith with a hitbox like 2x her actual size, Still leaving Horizon like the best legend, and much more but they wanna go do the opposite with doing other things with ruining the game and not even see how bad this effects the game.

When exactly someone buff Spitfire accuracy ? From where the hell people are getting this stuffs? How exactly spitfire accuracy was changed?
People start complaining about every gun they are getting constantly killed. Spitfire was not used much, but since ir receive a +1damage buff, people are using it way more often, and people are getting deleted by it way more often, and thats why they come here and start complaining about.
Its that simple.
And Spitfire have many drawbacks.
If you don`t see them or don`t know how to play against Spitfire, then its on you.
While ADS-ng with Spity you are pretty much a tree. The fire rate is very very slow, its even slower than Alternator and L-star ....
It has one of the worst Iron sights in the game.
Recoil on hip-fire its kinda unpredictable, even if you know how to control it, some shots are just not going on the target.
There is plenty of play against Spitfire, you just need a bare average game knowledge for god sake.
Tired of people going straight at the open, get deleted by "x" weapon, and immediately start complaining to nerf the "x" weapon.
In a certain range, and in the wide open, you are supposedly to lose the gun fight against Spitfire, and other LMG like Devotion.Flatline is super strong, should we nerf it too ? Cause this will be the next weapon on the list to complain about.
Previously was Volt and R99. Now they are not used that much(wasn`t people that were complaining about them, wanted exactly this, a diversity?), and people quickly jump on the next thing.
I always switch Spitfire for either Flatline or Wingman if i going to play a heavy weapon.
If you are constantly getting deleted by Spity, then there is obviously huge problem in your game. Firstly - your strafing form is bad, and secondly you don`t know how to position yourself and you are living yourself way too much in the open.
Improve on this, and Spitfire won`t be so much of a problem.
- @LordloshBang As a diamond player with above-average mechanics and game sense, you cannot out-strafe someone that bum rushes you holding left click with a spitfire. Do you forget that unless you're Gibby, Caustic or Wattson that your movement speed is reduced whenever you're hit?
If you know how reticles and accuracy works, then there is a circumference inside the reticle that dictates what % of bullets will travel within it. 100% are inside the reticle, 80% are in another smaller circle, etc. etc. Combine this with a stupidly big magazine, and anybody can run you down while holding left click and hip-firing, requiring no-aim whatsoever thanks to the lack of hip-fire dispersion and a (seemingly) endless amount of shots.
P.S. What reminded me of this thread was my last game. Sitting on high ground where I should be. Both of my teammates go down immediately, taking shots and kiting back the remaining wraith and octane still alive. Get two full charge rifle shots off on wraith forcing her to shield, octane ults right on top of me spamming with spitfire, manage to hit several shots with my r-99 before I have to try and run to reload, jump off high ground and octane hasn't let off that LMB yet. Trade a full magazine hipfire with him and he's still not down (two magazines) and he finally runs out of ammo and then just one tap from an eva--8. Clearly he had no aim otherwise I'd have been dead a long time ago. So what killed me then? Spray and pray. 100% spray and pray, even though I had positioning advantage and we were on equal grounds health-pool wise - @LordloshBang That won't change anything with the spread on the spitfire and along with a good barrel stabilizer. Strafing and trying to move around won't do much with its large ammo capacity allowing you to miss over half its bullets and still be able to kill someone. Spitfire can also go a long range. No matter what the spitfire will always be a problem.
