Feedback about Recon: it's a flawed class (and will be even worse at release)

Finally someone mentions this useless class. The gadgets always carried scout/recon & there's really nothing good on the class in this game. Like you said, they get outgunned by everything in the game up to 50m

Recon class is good and not useless at all! It seems like a rage bait post, and it also looks like you don't know how to use it. I am personally using it, and I love it. I have seen lots of people doing great with it.
What is Recon's best weapon class?
It depends on the person. If he/she is good with sniper, then sniper, if assault/dmr, then that. It is not like the class is doing something with your weapon; rather, the class system is more or less related to the playstyle. So, don't embarrass yourself further and stop this nonsense.

In the beta the SVK was way better than the M39, it's not even a comparison. If I recall correctly, it was a 2 shot kill upto at least medium range. The M39 was balanced so poorly that I didn't even want to waste time playing it. It was by far the worst weapon in the beta.

DMRs are obviously not going to shine in maps that force close engagement distances. I'd like to think you choose a weapon based on the situation and not based on the class you pick. 

I do agree that Recon has an identity crisis. It's not a new problem though, DICE has always struggled with balancing them correctly. The class is traditionally given lackluster gadgets or gadgets that do not align with their role. 

Sniper rifles are fun, but they are generally completely useless from a competitive perspective. No matter how good you are at the game, picking an assault rifle will give you more kills and actually allows you to contest objectives. The sweetspot mechanic is honestly a bad mechanic, but it at the very least allows you to get more kills, if you do choose to stay at longer ranges. 

I'd much rather have Recon be a saboteur, that's specialized in harassing the enemy. That's why I enjoyed Recon having access to C4 in Battlefield 4. A carbine, spawn beacon, smokes and C4 is really my preferred way to play the class

To be fair, the class balance is broken and BF was not meant to be an open weapons game. Recon has taken a hit but thats been the case for years now. I do agree with most of what you posted as most games want recon to play as a frontliner but with abilities, skills, and weapons of a long range class or vise versa. Yes you can change weapons to better fit the map but it doesn't change the fact that other classes are better at it

Wrote a post trying to fix this issue (it would make more sense if you red the post as this is only a porrion of it): https://forums.ea.com/discussions/battlefield-6-general-discussion-en/open--closed-weapons-and-classes-fix/12657837

RECON will change his signature gadget to “laser designator” (will function the same). Weapon effect will be “reconnaissance” (this will allow recon to change an choose 2 visual options out of 3 options night (hope), thermal, and regular vision). Signature trait will change to “in the zone” (longer and steadier breath control which helps keep your aim steadier). This class will focus on gathering information and relaying it to their team.

Gadgets will mostly be the same but with an addition; motion sensor, C4, decoy, drone, tracer dart gun, claymore, and flares (this will spot enemies and allies alike in the area for vehicles and mortar) enemies and allies hiding behind cover will not be spotted. Would like to add a EMP version for dart gun or just replace it since laser designator has become the signature gadget.

SNIPER will keep its ability as UAV overwatch (shadows over a 100 meter radius, enemy spotting for 60 sec). Initial skill will change to “camouflage” (snipers uniform will match the background color of the field, wear a ghillie suit). Next skill will remain as target acquired (inflicting dmg on enemies spots them, marking their position in world and mini map). Final skill will remain as confirmed kill (enemies can't be revived from a head shot by a bolt action rifle). This path will focus on trimming down enemies from long range.

SPEC OPS will keep its ability as UAV overwatch. Initial skill will change to “stealth tactics” (reduce sound unless standing, quicker takedowns with melee weapons, and reduce movement speed penalty while squading). Next skill will remain as gadget awareness (spot nearby enemy gadgets unless sprinting). Final skill will change to “covert ops” (equip thermal resistant clothing, this will cover the body but not the head. Player will remain completely visible in regular sights or night vision but will be harder to spot under thermal). This path will focus on stealth and maneuvering behind enemy lines.

Ps sweet spot is not a bad mechanic, it actually makes sense but it needs better implementation, and glint doesn't need to be removed but it needs to make sense. How can a scope have glint when you are in a dark room, is fine if you are on a hill but otherwise its as bad or worst then auto spotting before the nerf.

I do agree that recon is a good class but its implementation is really bad when you compare it to other classes. Sniper path has a ground to stand on with the skills given but other than that it can't compete. While spec ops path is completely overshadowed by the sniper. Most of it feels like an afterthought or catering to players that don't like stealth tactics.

 I do like to switching my play style with recon. I enjoy sabotaging vehicles and setting traps for infantry while spotting enemies for my allies but if you take a closer look at other classes, it is insane how overpowered they are getting. Not raging as this has been happening for years but the post is right in pointing it out, to find a better solution like with auto spotting. As a sniper player i like the mechanic but as a battlefield player (not just me) this was broken and I'm glad is getting nerf (would prefer removing it as this should be a human skill not automated). At the end of the day all we can do is point out issues and let it run its course.

Ps. Stealth class that can't hide or remain hidden by game design it can't be anything else but broken or flawed
