L115 sniper rifle needs a BUFF
The main gameplay of playing with sniper rifles is hitting headshots, not bodyshots, NOT SWEETSPOT. Also, the two main sniper rifle stats are Muzzle Velocity and ADS time.
But the current state of L115 stats makes it an useless sniper rifle for any sniper gameplay style (playing at close ranges or medium/long ranges), mainly because of its low muzzle velocity that can reach only 878 m/s and it has a high ADS time which can be reduce to just 300ms, as shown below:
There are already sniper rifles for playing at close ranges like the Mini Scout or SV-98, that have magazines that has more than 10 bullets inside it. Not to mention the mini scout has a low ADS time of 200ms, which makes it the perfect sniper for close ranges. So, there's no point of using L115 at close ranges with such high ADS time and low bullets inside its magazine.
You may say it's made for longe ranges, but L115 only has a maximum of 878 m/s of Muzzle Velocity, which makes it a not viable choice of a sniper rifle for playing from medium/far distances, because we have the PSR, that has the lowest bullet drop of all sniper rifles in the game, also a maximum Muzzle Velocity of 900 m/s. Also, for those medium/far distances, we have the M2010 ESR, which makes it even better than the PSR if you don't care about the bullet drop that much, because you can equip the long range ammo to compensate that, and the M2010 ESR has a maximum Muzzle Velocity of 1000 m/s and a ADS time of 250 ms, which makes it the perfect sniper rifle for medium/long range gameplay style. So the L115 isn't the choice here for medium/far distances.
The real balance to make L115 a viable choice of a sniper rifle, to not feel yourself "nerfed" when you choose to play with it, instead of choosing the Mini Scout or M2010 ESR, is to buff L115 Muzzle Velocity to 1170 m/s, like it was in BF Labs, that buff would make it a viable choise for playing at long ranges like it should, it indeed should have a downside, which would be it's high bullet drop when compared to PSR or M2010 ESR.
L115 really needs a buff, because it is bad at every single stats. When you compare every sniper rifle stat of L115 individually with any other sniper rifle in BF6, it LOSES.
We don't care about L115 sweetspot range being far away, no one plays sniper with that mechanic in mind. We care about having a good sniper rifle for headshots for it's purpose (close combats or medium/far combats), which are longe ranges in the case of L115, that's why it needs the Muzzle Velocity Buff to 1170 m/s like it was working in BF Labs.
