SMGs still too good?

Let’s set it straight before trokey starts throwing a hissy…snipers have barely any scope sway or bullet drop thus easy to use but damage isn’t great  depending on ammo used BUT a gamer new to the game could pick them up an play easily

@emerson1975Damage is good enough to still OHK on the most part and that is part of the problem.

How does a weapon being 'easy' especially if they can OHK make them 'poor' compared to SMGs?

Indeed, I would argue that SMGs are 'easy' compared to other weapons so does that make them poor too?

And drama queen? Me? I'm not the one spamming all the hate threads with "DICE are meanies and and rubbish, oh woe is me.....".

There is no drama or hissy fits in this thread unless/until you bring them.

Subs are OP another broken thing in bf2042 

No! Don't mess with my MP9!

I've just unlocked the previously OP PP and that certainly didn't seem too strong. The damage range is clearly less than it was and the assault rifles don't seem to be outclassed by it at range.

@emerson1975 Totally agree. What is the point of giving us huge open maps and then weapons with COD range limitations?

Sniper rifles should be able to reach out to a thousand metres effectively, but take skill to use. Make them slow to aim and inaccurate when standing (you currently get no accuracy bonus for kneeling or going prone).

LMGs should be effective out to 500m, Assault rilfes minimum 300m and SMGs between 100 to 150m. Even pistols should be lethal (but not necessarily accurate) out to 100m. Shotguns would be dependent upon load.

The poor effectiveness of the weapons just means most people play meta and you end up with tight balls of combat with huge empty spaces.

The Mp9 needs some major adjustments. I don't find the other 3 SMGs to be OP in any way right now.

The MP9 is ridiculous though. Outshoots the assault rifles at any range. It's basically the same as the PP29 was before the nerf.
