I really don't think the nerf was needed at all. I use the gun quite a lot still but it has a slow rate of fire, small magazine, low reserve ammo and horrible drop off at distance. Its not an easy gun to use. I think they must have been watching too many highly skilled streamers knocking helicopters out of the air at long range because I find its really not that easy to hit a moving target in the air at anything more than 50m or so.
My suggestion would be to revert the damage to where it was at launch, but you have to go prone to use it just like the anti tank guns used to be in BF5. Its a bit silly to be able to stand and shoulder fire a .50 cal sniper rifle anyway.
Please no prone weapons.
I don't use it, haven't unlocked it even, but I do think it needs to have a use against vehicles. The infantry damage needs a balance too but no idea what.
- @A_al_K_pacino_A If this solution is getting taken seriously there is no need for the infantry balance. i mentioned in my original post. since you can only fire when the bipod is in use. the gun can 1 shot enemy's at around 130 to 160 Meters i believe? i think that's reasonable since it is a .50 Cal (correct me if im wrong) The DXR-01 and SWS can also 1 shot enemy's at close range. but this would be the best Solution to balance the weapon out.
This Video is on point explaining this topic!

I had that video pop up in my feed this morning. He makes a very good point about the gun used to be a good counter for camping vehicles. If they continue down this impulsive reaction route when it comes to balancing then all the guns will end up the same and it will become quite boring. I don't understand why they reduced the number of rounds and massively reduced the power at the same time. Why couldn't they have tried the magazine reduction first to see how it effected the game? Its a long reload anyway so I think that alone would have had the impact they thought was needed.
I could also have accepted a slight reduction against the main tanks but the damage against lighter ground and air vehicles was absolutely fine.
