Spitfire S14
How's everyone feeling about the Spitfire this season? I've found myself taking it a lot for either LMG damage challenges, or mostly as a placeholder for a 301. Remember when it was a placeholder fo...

It's not worth it in comparison to the 301, Alternator, & R99. They've nerfed it too much within the past few seasons. Honestly with how much they've nerfed the recoil, it might not be unreasonable to give it back the Barrel Stabilizer. Even then, it's better to use the 301.
- @star99er Just to be clear, in my OP I stated that I will mainly take it specifically as a placeholder for a 301.
It's just another thing to add to the list of unnecessary balls-ups the devs have made to the game what with switching the ammo to light,reducing distance of bullet damage & removing the barrel stabilizer which has nerfed my beloved Spitfire to just a below sub-standard weapon now.Without the barrel stabilizer thus making the weapon recoil pretty awful along with the shoddy hip-fire the Spitfire probably needs a Laser Sight attachment asap.The bullet damage has been reduced a fair bit that 2 Spitfire shots is pretty much the same damage as 1 melee hit.And yes whilst the weapon has a generous ammo magazine/clip that seems to be compensation for the inconsistent & low hit damage now.As others have rightly mentioned the Spitfire seems relegated to merely a weapon over short distances as overmid-range it just disappoints & misses the target a lot.
@pandareno1999 @Right except it’s, you know, not heavy damage. I mean I suppose I’m remembering the days when a Spitfire’s hits would slow your move.
But I also guess I miss the barrel mod which allowed you to maintain accuracy. That’s just gone now. I think barrel mods need to come back to the gun at least before I would consider taking it over an R301
