This is riduculous, this gun now rapes at ALL ranges. Not to mention it is powerful as fuck. I can take out anyone within my draw distance with this thing, and at close range, you have no change unless you have the DAO. Its safe to say ill be playing support ALOT more now.. Goodbye G36E.. its that good.
your lucky that you can even play it
All I have to say I like it. Support is my fav. kit and I'm not rly bad with LMGs. But sometimes I couldnt hit anyone with PKM. Now I feel some sort of revenge (sorry, maybe this isnt a right word). But from the other side: People supposed to be afraid of machinegun. Before the patch alot of PKM guys were an easy targets for G36E, even at the close range. Machinegun is not a BB gun, it should have a greater stopping power than any other weapon. Now medics still own PKM at the med/long ranges, but at the medium range medic most likely will lose if support guy is prepared(prone already). So I like it in 1.20, but I'm pretty sure that medics will play as a medics anyway. Because now people need alot of ambulance.
Dont flame me people, who dont like this patch, I'm just saying what I think.

I think its fair. Perhaps what makes people think its too good now is how it is now compared to how shitty it was before. All of the support weapons were inaccurate as hell, but now theyre accurate within the first handful of rounds. After that they become inaccurate, just like a real machine gun (since youre only supposed to fire bursts with a light machinegun).
It's absolutely fair,now it finally is a light machinegun and not a soft air rifle.
I played a bit with the pkm today. Under 1.12, I was terrible with the support kit. Now, I think I might actually be able to get a KDR with it that isn't something I'm ashamed of. It works great fired in short bursts.
Id have to say support is the ultimate class now, I dont feel the medic can touch the pkm with the g36e.Even if its more accurate, supports got body armor to make up the difference.
that sucks, I had to endure 100+ hrs w/ that thing to get my expert. sniff, sniff, now that made it godlike? I might have to check that out.
yea im pretty happy i have alwasy liked the support class just getting that feeling of haveing something so powerful as a muahcine gun and fire a full auto and now i can enjoy my trigger happyness with a few KILLS!!!!!!!!!!
PKM is TOO damn good. In the words of the developers, it's supposed to be an alternative, not completely better than any other gun in it's class and half the other classes. It rather reminds me of when BFV first came out with the M60. I can pull off 4 consecutive shots aiming from the hip while fully standing up and hit the same area everytime. I don't mind if LMGs are supposed to be feared, but that's just absolutely absurd. Yes, LMGs are powerful and dangerous, when you're PRONE.

from someone who used to like the pkm, it seems just too good now
