SMGs still too good?
Yes, the patches have made the situation better but I feel that SMGs are still a tad too good, especially at range, compared to other weapon types. On the subject of range...... I am torturing myse...

@kregoraThis does not work against any mediocre sniper.
By the time you tapfire your third or fourth salve he allready aims at you and oneshots you.
I played with both lmgs since the game launched ( LCMG currently at 203 Mastery and PkP with 150 Mastery to give you my expirience here ), even with the horrible LMGs at the start where both where anything but usefull in any situation and the only thing i can tell you now is that both need a suppresion mechanic to keep them competetive in theyr respective role.
You get ougunned very hard by SMGs CQ and midrange, Aassaultrifles from all ranges and Sniper/DMR anyway.
The Pkp now will most likely get a nerf which is justified but after the nerf what remains ? again an lmg that serves no purpose like in the beginning, before the LMG buffs.
I feel the 40 tick servers make them feel better when used against you than they actually are. So often I find myself dead to them before the game has even told me I'm being shot at but using them myself I never experience the insta kill effectiveness that I often see against myself.

Where did you get the information on the tickrate?
I've been wondering what it is, and how it might be interacting with TTK, TTD and hit registration on machines with less than 8 physical cores.
@filthy_vegansI don't know if the tick-rate has been 'disclosed' by Dice, but the tick rate is probably lower than 60hz. 128 players with a tick-rate of 60, is probably not realistic.
The 'netcode' feels pretty bad in 2042, a lot of 'getting killed behind corners' and the "BFV TTD bug" is still in the game (smgs with high ROF are pretty bad). A low tick-rate is probably part of the problem.
For me it seems like the problems of the visuals not being correctly represented on screen (was in BF1/BFV as well), is worse than in previous titles. People instakills you from behind cover (peek, shoot, dead) or they instakills you in animations like landing from parachuting, coming off zip-lines etc.
