Strongly request to enhance the suppressive capability of light machine guns.

On behalf of the vast community of support soldiers and light machine gun enthusiasts, I strongly recommend: When support soldiers use light machine guns, they should be able to cause screen shaking and visual blurring effects on the enemy. Currently, the suppressive effect of light machine guns used by support soldiers is minimal and almost negligible. Please enhance the suppressive effect; otherwise, the significance of light machine guns cannot be compared to that of assault rifles or even carbines. Thank you.

    EA_Rtas​ Hello, I wanted to follow up on the issue I raised previously regarding the weakness of the suppressive effect of light machine guns used by support troops. Are there any measures being taken to address this? During this period, many light machine gun enthusiasts have been asking me about the feedback results in the community. We are eagerly hoping for an improvement and are very grateful!

  • also the suppressive fire assignment with lmgs is a drag. firing hundreds of rounds at and over people . game finishes and zero suppression assists, and you can even see the enemy be shot by your teammates

  • Supression IRL comes from the fear of injury or death.

    It does not translate well in games where death is just a few seconds of frustration.

    Its been 3 months so I don't know how often you reply to these posts but somebody in the discord suggested a really good solution that you guys should consider.

    Instead of the really unpopular "artificially hinder the enemies bloom/sway" style suppression reminiscent of bf1, somebody suggested to simply prevent snipers from getting effects from "hold breath".

    Its subtle enough change thats still annoying enough for snipers to not ignore it and it still promotes a machine gunner to still try and hit the sniper instead of simply dumping bullets nearby because the effect won't stop the sniper from being a threat. Both- will have to reposition (in the case the lmg is spotted by the sniper, or in the other case, the sniper is suppressed all of a sudden by the lmg) and both can equally apply pressure for the team. 

    Complimented with a purely visual blur (maybe something similar to the concuss or a toned down flash) will make this even more effective while not negatively affecting gameplay. I believe many would appreciate a suppression mechanic that doesn't artificially make it worse for other players.

    This still needs to happen.

    i know EA wants this entire game to revolve around SMGs to be a CoD clone, but the least you could do is add LMG suppression back.
