Getting frustrated trying to win gunfights (dying too much)

@AOD_moose004  You probably need the PP29, because it is the only playable gun right now, if you are not comfortable with the mechanics in the game. ARs have ridicilous random bullet spread, LMGs also. DMRs and Snipers are also good.

@AOD_moose004It’s a bit rough right now. It really does feel like we’re getting “super bullets” again. Which happened in BF4 too. You get all the damage taken updated into one tick.

The performance is horrible right now and that’s one of the big culprits. Aiming feels off and so does hit reg. I constantly feel cheated. Someone jumps around a corner and kills me instantly in one frame.

The game also seems pretty dark sometimes. They said they increased the lighting on enemy character models, but still needs to be increased in my opinion. There’s also a lot of lighting and particle effects making tracking difficult at times. 

My recommendation would be to use the PP-29 and vehicles. 

switch to the dmr or whatever it is called in the game.  sit back a little further away.  Make sure you're in cover/concealed to lessen your chances of being hit.  narrow down the angle at which you expose yourself.   shoot and move.  don't stand in one spot too long trying to get your shot to land.  (know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em.)

take up odd angles on enemies.  Especially if you don't have  the reflexes.  hit enemies form side and back or above.

tap fire.  automatics are generally better at range when you tap fire.  

know the optimal range of your weapon.    And try to engage enemies at that range.  

don't put yourself into situations where you are greatly outnumbered. 

And then of course,  use the weapon that seems best.   And you can play around with the attachments to enhance  how your weapon performs at a certain range, or tactic ...

personally I didn't touch attachments much but got a good  amount of kills so they aren't as all important as the above.

I think some of the AR rifles may have bugged Bloom that at times is a little extreme.  I didn't play them much yet.  It's been mostly DMR (it's called something different in BF2142) or SMG. 

Hit reg is laggy and slow bullets make it even worse also the hitboxes seem to be somewhere else than where they supposed to be. 

I've stopped playing until they fix the bullet deviation issue. Game is just frustrating to play when bullets are very visibly not going where you are aiming.

The game at the moment is basically shoot and pray to be honest.

I think some guns need a serious nerf and hit reg is miles off so don’t beat yourself up about it.

My dog is usually a better sniper than me but even I can use these sniper rifles it’s ridiculous 

Try following at least 1 teammate and let them take the lead. They will get shot at first giving you more time to find a target and return fire.
