The Spitfire needs a nerf

spitfire is fine as it is.

it shines at midrange and provides constant suppression fire.

players have to respect it.

(which should be the case for every weapon in specific situations)

while having relatively low DPS compared to every AR, SMG and shotguns.

so in close combat it loses against a lot of weapons. not just in terms of dps, but also in terms of ADS movementspeed and reload-time.

yes, the very fast reload time of the other weapons is important to mention, because you can outplay the spitfire.

engage near a wall or obstacle, lose your mag, get to cover, fast reload, repeat.

that is how you outplay that gun. it is a skill to know when and how to engage players and certai weapons,

its not just aim and movement.

the problem is not the spitfire. the problem is teams of 3 players all wielding a r99 + shotgun and having literally no answer to the spitfire,

whilche charging in blindly.

@zombieshoota5000 Nah the R301 is a pretty low skill gun and any team that gets 1 clipped by a spitfire is just trash.

Nerfing the spitfire is fine but let's not spread lies now.

@PraetorOfOleaYou can. Key word "can". Which usually doesn't work out. After the damage nerf it seems to actually be fine now. But before that it was hard. You would literally get destroyed with the high damage and if you got a few head shots it would be over in not even a second.

Spitfire is not overpowered, however, I will agree that heavy ammo should NOT slow. Being slowed in a game based in movement in ways other than grenades or abilities is kind of dumb. Winning vs a spitfire is easy. Stop being shot. If you're 1v1 you can out damage them. If not, get behind cover. There is really no good reason for engaging people away from cover. Watch the pros play. They use cover. This entire thread is just salty because bad. The only reason you shouldn't have cover between you and the enemy is if you've created a health advantage and are pushing. You should still push with cover in mind.
