PKM is way more accurate at long ranges now
mg36 OWNS ALL
u ahve to prone and snipe with it, then u'll see
The LMGs are a catch 22.
They put out a lot of rounds, and they do a lot of damage.
However, to be accurate, you generally need to be in the prone position.
Being in that prone position makes it easier for you to be headshot (only part of you showing is your head and shoulders, you aren't moving, etc.).

I find while prone using the MG's (PKM or MG36) while firing them slide left and right while shooting prone.
It tends to help take down adversaries for some reason.

Yeap. Support was an underused class, now it has an offensive role to play as one would expect. LMGs aren't characteristically useless weapons in other games as well as real life. When they start to behave like the LMGs in Day of Defeat then there might be some cause for concern regarding overpower.luckybaer wrote:

I've noticed a big difference in accuracy with the PKM, though damage seems the same to me. For the first time I can hit rooftop snipers! Before patch all I could do was lob grenades as I zig-zagged for cover ( usually dying 2 steps from safety ).
PKM is way to good in the new patch.....i had 27 kills and 3 deaths with it on karkand, it rarely misses and kills in like 2 shots. It my opinion it is more accurate then the medic G36e (which i used alot). The upgrade to support basically made every other class obsolite besides anti-tank. Their is no point in being anybody else because u can snipe w/ a pkm and never miss. Nobody can touch you.
I had some rounds like that on Kark too ( enemies tried to vote kick me twice! Get ready for the PKM hoaring! ) but I have to disagree with you about it makng everything except AT obsolete. In an even draw, both people being proned, you are still going to lose to someone with an assault rifle unless you can get a headshot. If you open up on an unsuspecting opponent who is in motion they are in trouble though, as it should be.Rellim83 wrote:

The support guns do much better now
I have more kills with them than anything else...
I still liked them in the previous patch

I get shot with the PKM by people standing up shooting it from the hip now days. Inaccurate my ass. God damn, the only thing I can win a duel with against someone shooting the PKM is with the G3.

I never thought of that. Should make it harder for them to hit you...M730A2 wrote:

Having played Support alot before the patch i have alway love using the pkm on urban maps.
since the patch has there been a delay in going prone put in ?
maybe its me but although its become more accurate at longer ranges i am not sure if it not a worse close contact weapon?
Maybe I have been dolpin diving and not realising.

I found myself sitting at a chokepoint in karkand with a pkm....since nobody can jump away and if they crouch they have a delay i was raping the entire usa team. Reflexes means nothing because u cant do nething to avoid being shot and by the time u try and fire back u are already dead.....i got 32 kills with the pkm in a server with only 100 tickets left. Its absoletly insane.....I enjoy the raping but it definetly needs to be changed.
Try going full auto with the PKM, seems to hit more than short bursts.
Again, I've used it many times BEFORE the patch and I find positively no difference but throwing nades. Did you guys just now unlock this weapon?!! You could hit people 100m easily, but at 200m good luck it hits everything but the barn your aiming at.
The best thing about the PKM changes is that now you are never at a loss for ammo on a map, since half the players are using the support kit.
today i was standing up shooting single shots at snipers on cranes on kubra dam, nailing them with every shot, pkm= sniper+assault rifle+lmg+anti transport
i loved the PKM before this patch, now is just plain awesome! you can make a single round head shot with it, in special forces is the UBER kit because the tear gas.
