PP-29 BROKEN
Currently the PP-29 is a broken weapon to which many players (especially PCs) are abusing it to make easy kills during games. such a weapon should be locked and released once fixed. The problem is th...
The worst part is:
PP26 got 26dmg per shot up to 30meters, and over 22dmg up to 40meters. while M5A3 got 22dmg up to 30meters and drops off to 18dmg per shot.
First of all: spread/bloom has always been a part of Battlefield. Yes, also BFV had it. Weapons having spread does not make them broken, especially not in Battlefield.
ARs in the Beta were too accurate. I got lazered over distances of 200m+ consistently. In Battlefield that's a DMR distance, ARs should not be this effective at this range.
SMGs are CQB guns. From a gameplay perspective, they shouldn't be more effective than an AR beyond 20m. Besides having little recoil and spread (which makes it effective past 20m) the PP-29 also has a large magazine by default because of it's unique design. It's clear this gun is overtuned and recoil and spread needs to be adapted to compensate for the large magazine.
