Weapon Damage Drop off is too short and drastic

Id like to start off and say i understand that the presence of smaller maps like the ones in the beta make the current weapon drop off seem more balanced, but that still doesnt help the fact that once the game launches, and we get larger maps such as Operation Firestorm, that these values make no sense in my opinion.

I tested different carbines, ARs and LMGs and it seems that the Maximum to minimum weapon dmg drop off is extremely  fast, within 4-5 meters. For example, the B36A4 goes from 25dmg at 20m to 20 dmg at 25m, which is as low as it goes (at least in the firing range). Compare this to BF4, where weapon dmg drop off was not only gradual, but gradual over much longer distances. Most ARs hit their minimum damage at 60 meters, more than DOUBLE that of the current bf6 ARs (see linked image of BF4 AR stats). Im worred that fire fights on larger maps are gonna feel terrible. Feel free to discuss how you guys feel

    I'm not basing this opinion on statistics, but I actually feel the current weapons' drop off is well suited for larger maps, which is why Assault is having an absolute field day with these miniscule maps. I'll get completely destroyed in five shots from an Assault person halfway across the map on Liberation Peak, and usually I try to justify how I get killed at long ranges but for real I've been killed in ways that seem so impossible by Assault class spammers. Unless this problem is fixed by larger maps, I don't think I'll be willing to shill out $70 for Assault class sniping simulator (godforbid they buff the shotgun)

    You do have a point. The bloom is supposed to help, but i feel as if just going from 25 to 20 dmg isnt enough. Most of bf4s guns went down to 18 if not even more, which gave it an extra shot to kill. Every AR being either 4 shots close to 5 shots at ANY OTHER RANGE seems shortsighted.
