Did all SMGs and Assault rifles get nerfed except the M5A3?

@ShotgunAZ I feel totally the opposite. M5A3 is versatile but doesn't excel at anything. It gets beaten at close range by AW40, AC42 or SFAR or AK-24 will wreck you at long range.

Good players carry it because it gives you the versatility to tune it for any range, even though you're at a disadvantage. But with good aim and positioning it becomes one of the best guns in the game

I love the M5A4 at range but had gotten used to the other assault weapons before switching to SMG's and LMG's.  Now that I think of it, I had to reimage my PC to Win 10 after trying Win 11 and am just now returning to the assault rifles so that PC reset might be part of it.  I don't think my mouse settings are the same as before.  But I am definitely getting destroyed by anyone with an M5A4 regardless of my PC reset.  I'll stay with the assault weapons for a while longer to get used to them again.  They just seem weak and drift a lot compared to a while back.

    SFAR is a powerhouse and even outguna SMGs within range.

    M5A3 has great recoil but ultimatrly feels too weak in my opinion.
