SVK? Why nerf it?...
Why the hell would you nerf a gun actually working, there was very few of those...? Knee J E R K reaction to balance. Now it will just be Sniper Rifle city again...
I'm kinda glad to be honest. Every game I play I get melted by that stupid spam-sniper from stupid distances. Use something else. I'm sure the complainers will make DICE turn it into another laser beam soon.
The SVK Nerf from patch 3.1 completely ruins the DMR weapon class. The recoil and recovery has now made the SVK more comparable to a sniper rifle, but with less damage, and the DM7 was already worse than any AR.
Between the two available DMR weapons, the SVK was the only viable option as it excelled in mid range fights. And for people who complain, keep in mind that being '2-shot' by the SVK was only possible with high powered ammunition (which comes in a 5-round magazine)... With the recent changes, ARs are now better than any DMR. Why would anyone use a DMR now?
If the weapon is designed for mid range fights, why shouldn't it be the strongest weapon at this range?
With the nerf, there's no reason for anyone to use a DMR, and just one more reason in an ever growing list to not play BF2042 at all.
Nah. I have about 780 kills with the SVK and the nerf was definitely necessary. It was too dominant at all ranges.
Hopped on today to use my favorite gun [svk with the 15 round mag so i can actually run around instead of sniping which makes it a 3 shot at range which was balanced] to my surprise it kicks about 3x as much now . Thx dice for ruining the only fun i could find in this horrendous game lol
