MG's aren't useless, people just tend to use them in a useless fashion. With good squadplay and fired in controlled burst MG's are a valuable asset.twoblacklines wrote:
Thats great, but id have headshotted you 350m away on the edge of the fog before you even saw me.
Machine guns are useless, only work on single fire anyway otherwise bf2 doesnt seem to count the extra hits.
1. If you have to switch to semi at medium range to be accurate with the G36E, you should probably learn to use it yourself some more.TFSlott wrote:
I love the PKM - I play alot Support at the moment and I think the PKM is awesome. It's not good at long distances, but at close range I kill everything with this sucker. I love to sneak into position next going prone behind that corner everyone is running along. One short burst with 3-4 shots kills everyone and at close range u can't miss when prone. Just remember to switch position, not using the same corner over and over. At medium range u tend to hit shit with the PKM unless your targets are lying still - like snipers. Yes - I take out alot of snipers with my PKM at medium range. At long range they spot me before I kill them and most of the time I get a bullet in my face. So normally I try to close in at any sniper spotted. And it's fun to take out snipers at medium range with the PKM. I don't think the other Light machine guns do enough damage to take out snipers at medium range - or? Either they ran or u get shot yourself before killing them.
And learn to use that G36E !!! It's the best damn weapon in the game. High damage, high rate of fire and very little deviation at close range. Those 3-4 shot bursts kills everything at close range. This weapon should have been in the hands of the assault class, 'cause it's truly an awesome assault weapon. Even at medium range it's good - just remember to single shoot at medium range. If u tend to love medium/long range I would stick with my L85A1.
2. The PKM is at it's best at long ranges and I'm pretty sure that's what it was intended for. On medium range it depends on the situation; if I'll be facing a lot of enemies packed together, I rather go with a stock LMG with a higher ROF. If you pick the PKM primarily for short range combat you're probably a dolphin diving spray gay. No LMG is designed, not even in BF2, for short ranges.
In summary, I figure you're a n00b.
