The Spitfire

Anyone else feel like the Spitfire needs to be rebalanced? I've noticed the meta went from Mastiff to Spitfire, and I'm seeing people use the Spitfire, shoot for a half second, and they insta down 1-3 people, and its usually a console user. I've also heard this gun got a "buff" which was 100% not needed.

    Not really, no. It needs some dmg drop off at range, like all of the machine guns. Maybe a slight nerf to rate of fire or dmg per bullet, but nothing crazy. Personally I have no problem with 1-2 guns being (perceived?) op every season, kinda shakes up the gun meta.

  • @Midnight9746 If you're gonna nerf the spitfire, the flatline has to have the same done. I'd argue the flatline is a MUCH bigger problem than the spitfire in terms of DPS to the point where it pretty much kills close-mid range game.

  • It's not hard to track someone midair with a gun that holds so much ammo in one round.  You can track them through the air and still have half a mag left to continue tracking and shooting them after they landed. 

    The point IS that the DPS + ridiculous mag size makes it a crutch.  Shoot me out of the air with a Wingman and prove you've got skill.  I don't mind being killed by skilled players, but that Spitfire crutch isn't impressive.

    @garbagebabyyy If you think that of spitfire, what about LStar who litteraly doesn't need to change mags and is quite on the same range of dmgs? Only the dispersion makes it so bad, but at mid and close range, all weapons should be deadly. I am quite made that I shoot sometimes with EVA8 or Moz at point blank and the ennemy only get 15 dmg... I am not especially skilled for aiming (I am bad as hell), but sometimes I find how to maneuver to compensate against moderately skilled players, but still get whooped because at close range some weapons are a joke, and others like R99 and so on are normally powered for close range (yes, it is insanely fast, but hey, that's taking SMG bullets in the face)
