Assault gun should have been made stronger

[Caslon]

I'm airing out some things that have been bugging me for awhile.

The unlocked Assault gun vs. unlocked Support gun of any kind.

There are countless times close up when user STANDING with their
support weapon versus me standing with
my Assault weapon. Up close...within 5 ft. I got mowed down up close more than I should.

Assault weapon means assault...up close. It should kill someone standing (not prone support users..granted) within a few feet. It should be no contest against me with my Assault gun against you standing with your Support Gun near me. That is not the case so many times.

I've died too many times using unlocked assault gun standing to standing against unlocked support weapon user...(up close) not to bring up this issue. It should be no contest up close with my so called "Assault Gun."

Refer to DICE's so called strengths and weaknesses of weapons..I should have won those close up firefights standing to standing with a support weapon user.

Guess what is practically the least used weapon? Assault gun.
Guess what is the most used weapon? The Support gun.

Let's face it..between the two real firing weapons...there is the Support Gun and the Assault Gun.

No wonder about 68% of users in a game are seen using the support gun of some kind.
Going prone to prone Assault gun against Support weapon at a distance...Assault gun cross hairs won't even close together. At least the support gun cross hairs will...closer than the Assault gun does when firing farther off (naturally... Assault not meant to be a long distance gun).

I didn't expect to be killed so many times with my Assault gun close up against a Support weapon (both standing). That just sucks and goes against the intention of an "Assault gun."

Commentary and observation. Your opinion may vary.

wow, ok reading assault and support 100 times in the same post was kind of mind numbing (or its because I just woke up) but yeah I completely agree. I cannot stand it when I run up on a support guy using almost anything that isn't a shotgun and we are both standing and he just mows me down with his PKM....argh. Makes me wanna stab someone.

And that 2nd tier unlock for assault just blows, I thought I liked it, but I hate using it. The 1st tier unlock may feel old and outdated but I can still kill better with it.

I agree with everything you just said man. Good observation

I have found that the most useful assault rifles by far are the AKs, their the only think with the right amount of power to be called Assault rifles. The G3 is good at distance, but the clip is much to small for a firefight up close and the F2000 always seems to miss when you need it to hit. It didn't do this in 1.2, but since 1.21 and beyond, the accuracy/power seems to have decreased. In contrast, the support guns are all jokes when it comes to power and accuracy. They are much too powerful and accurate to be called support weapons. PKM sniping still plagues servers as it did patches ago and all that has been done since then was to make all the other support guns equally accurate. They should have been nerfed a while ago, but nothing has happened.

Along the same lines, why haven't the J-10s been nerfed. Every Chinese round that I play, the J-10s wipe the floor with everything. With even a subpar pilot, they outmaneuver every missile and out fly every jet in the game. The other jets actually feel sluggish and slow after flying a J-10, its insane. The only way the US wins any rounds against a team with J-10s, especially on maps like Wake, is if the Chinese are so retarded that they shoot themselves down. It's mind-boggling how this discrepency between the planes has existed for so long...
