I believe this weapon doesn't have the recoil reduction on consoles like the rest of the weapons. That's why console players are saying it has high recoil.
On PC it's very controllable but the weapon is bugged as hell - reload animations doesn't work all the time, you have 1-2 sec delay after you are respawn until you can shoot the weapon, tactical sprint doesn't work after you exit a transport helicopter.
I never seen a weapon in any BF game that is so extremely bugged.
Hopefully it will get fixed soon cuz I actually enjoy playing with it.
