The DM7 needs a fix somewhere. My Go-To in BFV was the M1 and I have always liked a nice 'heavy' rifle in all my BF games. I was really hoping the DM7 would be it but this gun just sucks. I can't seem to hit anything with it, and when I do, no real damage is being done. I'll use it for 2-3 matches and then be like, 'nah, can't do it' and switch to another gun. I come back to it after every patch hoping it is better, but it isn't. It's a shame.
It should be called the DM7-A for all the assists I get with it. I get 10x more assists than kills because even headshots don't take players out.
Well, yeah, the recoil is a bit weird on the DM7. The low fire rate results in awful time-to-kill. And it has terrible bloom when spammed. You can spray most full-auto weapons very accurately so it's odd that the DM7 (and VCAR) become terribly inaccurate when spammed. I like using semi-auto guns in Battlefields so I'm saddened that the semi-auto DMRs are poop in this game. The SVK is ok, I think.
Through the low time to kill, DMRs are not very important. You can kill with K30 or any assault rifle nearly as effective on distance, as with the DMRs. I made my 1200 kills with the SVK, it was kind of ok, but with the DM7 or VCAR... don't know, can't kill anybody with them. Something with the recoil is really strange with these weapons and in close combar (or even mid range) they get outclassed by assault riffles or SMGs, because they have very high damage and laser accuracy.
Exception is the BSV-M. Don't know what the design philosophy of this weapon was, but it had to be something like "Let's make a weapon, every clown can kill anyone". High damage, low recoil, suppressor and subsonic rounds, full auto mode and good rate of fire. What could go wrong! To unlock T1 was never that easy.
In BF5, DMRs were in a good spot, but in BF2042, I would consider one only for very long range (SVK) or to unlock T1. I don't think, I will ever unlock T1 for DM7 or VCAR. They just suck too much.
I cant wait for the BSV and K30 nerf
