BF2S Forums The new P90

http://media.putfile.com/newp90

thats from the thread about the patch

it might be all in my head but i think it's a lot better. i was killing people pretty easily with the new P90.

It hits no harder then a bird hitting a Window...but Now Faster!...with more Birds Per Minute.

It's great !!!  It does eat up the ammo but at close range that's a plus.  At long range just set it to semi-auto and fire away, I LOVE THIS GUN!!!!!!! W00T P90 FTW

Yay!  The P90's new rate of 900 rounds per minute makes it...a PP-19 with 5 extra bullets.  Woot?

Oh, and a nice red-dot sight, in case you like sniping with a marginally accurate SMG that'll take you 6-8 lucky hits to kill...

i think all the anti tank unlocks suck, same as engineer unlocks.  need better guns in most cases anything other than close range and they are completely hopeless.

Are you suggesting AT players get rifles and compete with the assault class? Think in terms of game balance. The AT kit is fine as it is imo.

Still not digging the p90 though.. I need that killing power close up. My rockets can handle the rest.

i know what ur saying but when ur not used to these 2 classes and ur trying to get ur veteran badges its very fustrating, especially when say ur engineer and u c some 1 miles away u carnt do anything about it - never mind get me vet badges 4 these 2 classes and thats that

That's when you pull out your pistol!  I got so many pistol kills and got really good at using it because of playing as anti-tank, engineer and support (pre-patch 1.2) Counter-sniping with pistols is great fun.  The pistol is insanely accurate when using the iron sights and two caps to the head is a quick kill.

So long as the other base factors of the P-90 remained the same, the P-90 edges out over the other SMGS in most situations.  It isn't just the 5 extra rounds that will be lost in .20 seconds.  But the *slight* increase in accuracy in all positions + the slightly greater distance zoom.  The downfall of the p-90 is that it has the longest pull out time and reload time of all the AT-kit equipment.  Anyhow, the idea behind the smgs is run-in-gun, at close to medium range combat.  It isn't a sniping weapon like the AT rocket/pistol can be.  But it gives you greater flexibility than the DAO-12 does at medium range, because a smg will usually get one to two kills per clip.

Is it worth unlocking now?

If your playing Anti-Tank you are almost always better off with the DAO-12 Shotgun kit than any of the other kits in most situations. The SMGs are useful if you know you are going to get into a LOT of Medium range to close range combat and you aren't going to be able to get into the close to point blank range where the shotgun dominates.

Of all the SMGs the P90 is the best, only having a disadvantages of having less extra magazines than the Chinese and USMC SMGs, and having the slowest draw time.

If you are a hardcore AT player, it's probobly good to have at your disposal.

Guess you're not Veteran material then, ROFL.
