Use Old BF Suppression Systems

Suppression in this game is a joke. There's no strong reason for it to exist. Snipers should not be able to easily line up shots if they're being suppressed.

Suppression should give the one suppressed a considerable aim debuff in some way. BF3/4 had a great (though maybe slightly overtuned) suppression system that impaired vision and your aim. It forced you to take cover and/or reroute. I'm not saying one bullet hitting nearby should suppress, but if there's a hail of bullets coming at you, you shouldn't be able to aim perfectly fine. This shouldn't be like COD where the TTK is near instant.

If suppression had a stronger purpose, I would be more ok with the level of inaccuracy LMG's have even when bipoded. Why am I laying down suppressing fire if the person I'm suppressing and actively aiming at can pop their head up and one shot me?

Please do something about this. Also we need proper BF maps. All of these are too small so far. I don't feel like I'm in a battlefield taking strategic points. I feel like I'm in a COD match running from location to location.

I understand the reason people want suppression. I do too because yes you simply can't counter snipe a sniper with anything but another sniper and LMGs are also pretty underpowered without a decent suppression function.
Personally, though I would be ok with just a 'flinch' function so when you actually _hit_ a sniper in the face he can't just calmly headshot you like nothing is happening.
The whole "my shots must go where my perfectly trained aiming points" moaning is a bit ridiculous, but I don't think I want the old days of BF3 style suppression either.
BF1 suppression was perfect. Didn't always work. Snipers could still pull of headshots in return, but it has some effect and LMGs could counter-sniper if you didn't take 1000 bullets.
