Suppression Rework Request

Why is there no real effect on your target when you suppress them ? Sure if they get injured they cannot heal while being suppressed but . . .
If they're in cover they just pop right out and can nail you as soon as you stop firing at them.
I think it would make fire fights a lot better & last longer enabling flanking moves etc.
It used to be a thing

Battlefield 3: This game is frequently cited for its strong suppression effects.


Visual effects: Screen shake, blurry vision, and effects from explosions that felt like a concussion.

Gameplay impact: Disorientation and confusion, which added a layer of authenticity to the gameplay.

Another Example:

Red Orchestra 2: This WWII shooter is known for its realistic and intense suppression mechanics.
Visual effects: Screen jerking, blurring, and a color desaturation effect that turns the screen black and white.
Audio effects: Muffled sounds.
Gameplay impact: Increased weapon sway and difficulty steadying aim when suppressed.

How suppression effects work

Visual and auditory cues: When a player is under fire, the game uses various feedback mechanisms to simulate the stress of combat.

Increased difficulty: Suppression effects can make it harder for players to aim and react, discouraging them from staying out in the open.

Tactical advantage: Suppressing an enemy can be used as a tactic to pin them down while your team moves in or flank them.

  • Video clip demonstrating how suppressing a sniper in this case has zero effect on the enemy & even after being headshot & not killed they instantly return fire.

    Is there anybody out there that feel like suppressing the enemy is a total waste of ammo ? What about Support with an LMG ?
    If support cannot suppress with an LMG & prevent the enemy from popping around the corner when being fires upon, what is the point ?
    Surely I can't be along in wanting suppression to actually work.

    Agreed. The unrealistic gameplay is absolutely ludicrous. Imagine being invincible even under heavy suppression.... yep that's BF6. What a sad joke. Hitting a target repeatedly and then having them shoot back with dead on accuracy is kind of lame and totally negates the word suppression in a FPS. Totally a huge "miss" by the developers unless they're 12 year olds. Yep right now all the little kiddos are skipping around in glee because Battlefield is now a typical arcade game. RIP realistic FPS games.
