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.
Yeah, I may have to give this a pass for a bit. The random bullet bloom is annoying. When I can put the center dot of an LCMG on a static target at medium range, fire nine shots, and not a single one of them hits, something is whacked. SMGs are too strong relative to the other gun types at all but long ranges, the balancing is just weird. BFV gunnery was better than this and BFV was the Battlefield up until now that frustrated me the most because I did so poorly.
Also...in past Battlefields, support characters still had some sort of limited AV capability. They don't now. You can take the ammo crate OR the M5 OR the Stinger lookalike. If you want to play support/resupply like I do a lot (to maximize team effectiveness because individually I'm not good), you're completely vulnerable to vehicles. So as a result, medic/ammo crates are really hard to find. And even with an LCMG you can chew through 300 rounds real fast.
At least I can open up attachments for guns now by getting kills in a bot game to get to a mastery cutoff, and then getting one kill in multiplayer to trip the next level of mastery (you apparently can't get mastery in solo/coop but the kills do count toward attachments). That'll be handy in getting used to new guns as I unlock them.

I play angel almost exclusively because he has the loadout crate to resupply me and others and can carry anti vehicle weapons.
