"The top spots are always taken by the campers or the ones firing quickly, running in a circle and jumping at the same time."

That applies to BF 42 also. Haven't you noticed that in close quarters combat people circle strafe 80% of the time. I get killed 2/3 of the time that way. How realistic is that? I don't recall WWII soldiers being taught to circle strafe. Besides, if you did that in real life you'd loose all manner of accuracy. You shouldn't be able to hit shit while running. It's fine that the bullets don't hit instantly, but there's no way you could call the ballistics realistic. Bullets do hit instantly (for all practical purposes) at a range of 50 ft. Everyone griping about this has a legitimite complaint. I hope Dice looks into it.

I'm starting to find spraying a moving target on full while standing still, works ok on a moving target at close range. Still frustrating though.

"You have to try to outflank your opponent and get the jump on him."

Besides shooting at targets standing still at some distance, that's about the only way I get kills. You have to be sneaky and get the jump on the enemies. Get behind them, when they stop moving, let them have it.
