So I uninstalled this game about a year ago after experiencing one disappointment after another, the TTK/TTD desync issue and atrocious gun balance being the biggest ones for me, but reinstalled and played it again after a big hardware upgrade.My main playstyle is aggresive sniping as I despise the campy playstyle, so I went ahead and selected the SWS-10 equipped with some upgrades that I unlocked last time I played a year ago.Now landing hits feels strange, like I'm missing way more shots than I should even though my aiming seems to be dead on, I don't know what's going on is the hitreg bugged? It can't be my internet connection, I have optic fibre, very low ping and no packet loss.And my god, why am I constantly getting laserbeamed at long range (50-100) meters by SMG's, AR's and LMG's?After getting sick of it and out of curiosity I switched to those weapons to check how difficult it is to get kills compared to sniping and was shocked beyond words to see how extremely easy it is. The recoil is so ridiculously easy to manage, it's like the guns just slightly tilt in a very smooth motion, there's no kick or erratic motion to it that should throw your aim off target. I could go full auto and hit all shots up to long range. So I guess that explains why the gun balance is so skewed in favor of full-auto guns. What's the deal with that? Will there be a proper gun balance fix anytime soon?

@Kunstula wrote:@PsubondYes it is. Shooting ranges are typically close 0-20m, medium 20-50m, long range 50-100m, I distinctly remember this from BF4's shooting range where there furthest targets were at approximately 100m.Anyway, I don't think it's right for an SMG to go full auto and be able to hit all shots at 50m or an AR/LMG full auto lasering you at 80m, which happens to me very frequently in this game. When I used those weapons myself it was way too easy to go full auto and keep crosshairs on a distant target, even when they run around. I am not saying that SMG/AR/LMG's shouldn't be able to hit someone at long range, but it should be a lot more difficult than it is now.i shoot a LOT. anywhere from 3 yards to 1000 yards. idk what ranges you use. i have no problem hitting a man size target with an AR at 300 yards standing using iron sights.now back to in game, i want to see a vid of someone lighting you up at full auto (not tap fire) at 80m with an smg

@Kunstula 50-100 meters isnt long range.

Yeah there are just too many weapons with fast TTK good out to 100m, and there is not much difference beyond that. I don't know if you are on console or not, but consoles have 25% less recoil. So holo scope and low FOV is pretty powerful.

@KunstulaThats how it has been in every Battlefield game (Maybe with the exception of BF1) for the past 10+ years. ARs and LMGs have always been the dominant force within the 100m range.You have it easier than before though because now there is no supression.SWS10 used to be 1shot body shot some time ago and it was nerfed simply because it was broken. Just run around oneshoting people with no chance of them fighting back. It was stupid and abused quite alot.

@Kunstula You are right. All weapons, even the SMGs are just perfect for any range. Ok, I wouldn't try to snipe with a K30, but with the PBX-45, no problem to kill at medium-long range. This leads to a very low TTK, no very much skill is necessary, everybody is a winner. Isn't it, what everyone wants...?Try the new RM68, I think DICE just forgot to give this weapon some kind of recoil. This weapon is just overpowered. You have proper aim but recoil is not your friend? Here is your easymode weapon.

Non-sniper weapons are way too accurate

@UP_LordPlumber Yes, no suppression and instead snipers are outclassed by full auto guns that can easily outsnipe you up to long range, now that should make things better.

I have no problems with weapon accuracy in this game. If you want a better sniper to use, try the GOL. I'm not a fan of the other snipers, but the GOL is great.

@Kunstula True, the gunplay of BF2042 is really shallow once you slap some attachments on the full auto weapons. They all turn into minimal recoil laserbeams. Its pretty bad. I dont have any hopes in the lead game designer ''Florian'' as known as ''DRUNKKZ3'' to give any depth to the gunplay.

@Psubond all these video game kids who have zero clue about ballistics or firearms in general, if they REALLY knew how accurate firearms like Rifle platforms were as RL Counterparts out to 500-750, 1000m and beyond actually were. they would not even play the game if it did not have actual RNG Spread for each shot.

my best infantry on infantry shot was BF4 - Firestorm 1918.6m corner to corner. nearly 1826.9m with the Cheytac SRR-61, in BF3's Firestorm - 1918.16m in the same setup, just with the M98B.
