Recon - Sniper
I've been playing FPS games for 15 years, and I've never seen such a weak Reccon sniper as in Battlefield.
I have a level 40 mini-scout, I use 20-point bullets, the damage is high, I swear it hits ...

Agree, you can thank years of incessant crying about sniper rifles for that. And even now they're still crying about them for more nerfs, I've seen the recent Q&A. The truth is that most players are reg gun users (full auto guns) and pretend like they are in favor of weapon balance when in truth they just want to mold the game to their personal preference of being able to run around jumping and spraying without getting interrupted by a different type of weapon that can effectively counter them.
Sniper rifles are weak in this game, anyone who says sniper rifles are the easiest either doesn't use them or is blatantly lying through their teeth and pretends to dominate with them to raise their credibility while spreading fake news about sniper rifles being overpowered.
Just a few things I've noticed:
-Sniper rifles do not have the highest muzzle velocity when they absolutely should as the longest range weapons. It's actually assault rifles, LMG's and DMR's that have the highest muzzle velocities. An asinine weapon balance choice.
-Sniper rifles do in fact have flinch, contrary to what many have claimed.
-Automatic weapons are far too strong in this game, major culprits being too high damage, too easy to control recoil, too high accuracy and too high muzzle velocity.
-All automatic weapons deal max damage even when shooting limbs all day, whereas sniper rifles only deal max damage when hitting the chest and head.
-Fast soldier movement lacking momentum always favors automatic weapons.
-ADAD strafing while shooting with a reg gun can easily outperform sniper rifles even at long range.
I have to say this phenomenon is nothing new, I've seen this exact same pattern in most FPS games, they are appeasing the largest group which is reg gunners. Every single FPS game I've ever played in the past 16 years had people crying about snipers, yet it's nearly always a reg gun users that fill the top on scoreboards and leaderbords, I'm sure that totally fits the endlessly repeated claim of sniper rifles being the "easy and overpowered" weapons.
