Who was complaining about the M5A3 close combat ammo? I don't understand why things that are working need to be changed, yet the OP stuff doesn't ge fixed.

The close combat short barrel combo makes it one of the best gun in the game
You get high fire rate, huge damage and low recoil
It was pretty OP
Mmh, what a pity i think Stealth Copter will still be annoying even if the Wildcat gets a buff
Also, I think BVM distance nerf of High-Power was not necessary, it is a marksman rifle and 100m is not much.
And still not any mentioning that there is a huge Impact in Performance since 1.1.0 or that they are fixing it.
What about changing the Shader Cache path….?
What about fixing the Season badge?
@CountSeroAgreed. Change up the accuracy of the Auto-Fire mode, or even nerf the range of the Close Combat ammo, but why reduce the range of the HIGH power ammo? doesn't make sense
“And of course, we are looking forward to seeing those impressive K/D ratio screenshots coming our way.”
ah yes because BF is all about the k/d.

Yeah I agree the performance issue should have been a priority, it's a deal breaker for many players.
So the nerfs to the weapons didnt matter?
- @InS_Hypno : I'm on here pretty much every day M-F and have never seen anything concerning the M5A3 being OP. Close Combat ammo gives you faster fire rate at reduced damaged and range. As it should be.
Just like the K30 nerf being wrong. The damage was fine, the problem was the accuracy @ mid and long ranges.
M5A1
- Reduced the M5A3 Close Combat rounds damage
- 0-20m - 22 -> 18 damage
I find this very confusing. M5A1 M5A3???
The M5A3 with close combat round did 28 Damage per shot not 22. If the M5A3 have been nerfed to 18 dmg per shot, then the TTK will have gone from 195ms to 325ms. Why would you ever use close combat ammo after this nerf? Even with short barrel, close combat ammo kills slower then just leaving the gun blank with no attachments.
Is this correct @Straatford87?
- Reduced the M5A3 Close Combat rounds damage

As it should be.With Short barrel and close combat ammo the M5A3 had lower TTK then both the K30 and Mp9. It also had less recoil and better accuracy. Only drawback was hipfire. But the amount they have nerfed it is insane, I am guessing its a typo and it should be 28 dmg > 22 dmg but you never know with EA.
