@Stella_x_Sin I could argue that SMGs are not good beyond the medium range (40-50 meters). Alot of them have insane damage drop-off to 9 bullets to kill at medium range.
Some like PP29 sure have a good range, but that's because of low ROF. BF3/4 also had slow ROF, high-damage SMGs, and PDWs. K30 or MP9 or whatever the new SMG is are pretty much useless beyond extreme CQC.
in BF3 LMGs were used mostly because of the putrid suppression mechanics. Beyond that they we're inferior in every way. This is why from BF4 onward LMGs were mostly ARs with extra steps. MG4 and AWS send their regards.
ARs were "bad" at long range in previous games? Well, I rest my case since I think we've played different games.
