Here's my personal guide to playing support, follow along it can get complicated. Is your ammo low? Drop ammo. Is a teammate's ammo low? Drop ammo. Did you kill an enemy? Drop ammo. Did you revive a squadmate that is a new feature to this game? Drop ammo. Not sure if you dropped ammo? Drop ammo. Saw a friendly tank drop by? Drop ammo. Did you see an enemy support drop ammo? Drop ammo in response to their attempt for dominance. Did you just respawn? Drop ammo. Are you dropping ammo? Drop more ammo. Hack the game not for wall hacks or no clip but to drop ammo for all time. Then drop ammo. Not dropping enough ammo? Get the ammo crate instead. Then drop ammo.

This change is what allows the box to resupply gadgets. Technically this is a better resupply than the old way you just have to press it yourself. Now when you want ammo you can't fight at the same time. Same with health. This was the solution to the healing/ammo issues this franchise has had for years. Where your either drowning in ammo and always healing like in launch bf4 or you struggle to get anything like in bf1. I like this. People will get over it and the system will become the new norm.

I think it’s perfect where it is and I pray dice doesn’t cater to all the cry babies who cry nerf bc they suck at the game
@joshuapowell26755 жыл бұрын
I'll be honest, the MG-42 with fire rate mod is the best SMG in the game because it's literally just as accurate firing from the hip as an actual SMG and it has a higher rate of fire and more damage per shot. It melts people with short bursts. That being said, you basically have to be inside another player to actually hit him with hip fire. Bi-podded, I find it to be reasonably accurate and I'd rather go larger capacity for anything that's not deathmatch. I do think the extra damage to planes mod is a waste cause you have to be bi-podded to be accurate which makes it very hard to hit a plane flying over you. I think the gun is fine because there's drastic tradeoffs, but the MG-34 needs something to make it a good alternative to the 42

@@mvximus3188 Dude, that comment was 3 years ago. There's been multiple patches that balanced out the MG-42. At the time, the MG-42 was the only heavy MG worth using because the MG-34 didn't have any positives over the MG-42, meaning the MG-34 wasn't a viable alternative to the MG-42. I said nothing about faction alternatives because obviously everyone knows that weapons are globally available.

It's almost hilarious how many games I've been accused of hacking because this thing is a fucking laser beam even standing up ADS. At first I was using the big magazine and increase bipod accuracy. Then after using the MG42 I realized bipod bugs are cancer in this game so just take all the run and gun talents where I can ADS standing with reduced recoil. So much more fun.
