you're on season 4 and the game continues to be unbalanced. FIX IT DICE
So I've played another nearly 100 hours back in the game and what i come across is various.
SMGs
I've used a fair few SMGs and they can beam you and hold sustained fire with little to no recoil and bloom. they do roughly the same damage as most assault rifles with next to no damage fall off over distance.
Assault rifles/carbines
They dump rounds like wildfire and continue to beam. the bloom is a little more prominent on these and that's fair, but they do quite a fair bit of damage and with low recoil. some carbines still need to be tweaked a bit they essentially do everything a assault rifle do just with lower bloom.
LMGs
These are pointless at this point, low dmg, low fire rates, suppression does nothing to an enemy with a med bag. hit reg feels off.
Shotguns
feel like they should, maybe tweak the spread on longer distances than 100m
snipers/dmrs
Also feel fine as they are. But I'm not that good with them so i don't know too much on that one. on the exception of the new vss that might as well be an assault rifle.
Support and engineer
They seem to be the most neglected classes. when it comes to what they can do. sometimes it feel like no matter what you do its just a losing battle. used all 6 of your rockets on a tank? still alive and kicking because they only do 25 dmg along with other launchers.
support shield goes down way to quick
engis have too little gadgets to actually do any sort of impact unless they can get a cheeky placement but with all the spotter perks and gadgets this makes it feel useless.
mortars, as much as they can be a nuisance dont feel like they dont have alot of impact when it comes to damage unless there is at least one more somewhere else on your team.
Assault and sniper
these seem like they have the highest impact on any game. so i think they're in a good place for right now.
Movement
The movement is okay at best. bunny hopping players with 100% accuracy and these constant slide jumpers need some heavier bloom and spread.
The game had so much potential looking back at the beta, but i feel like they betrayed the core aspects of battlefield. It became a reskin of COD and i feel like if you bring back the core aspects you might be able to bring the player base back. because quite frankly the amount of games i have gone into and it has to be bot filled is unreal.
