My suggestions for the SMG's are :
- Reduce the heavy recoil patterns while standing for the PPSH41.The ones where you fire a short burst and the gun goes crazy,especially with low fps.
- Reduce the recoil while standing and beeing leaned(All SMG'S) !!! Something very important in my opinion,these weapons are made for close targets and urban environments=Leaning and peeking around corners and doors.Specially the PPSH41 has some recoil patterns that are unacceptable while standing and beeing leaned.Other SMG's defnitly do have too much recoil while standing and leaning aswell but the PPSH41 is the one where it s worst.All SMG's should be tone down while standing and beeing leaned.Of course some recoil patterns are fine but then others are very heavy and you ll never know what pattern you ll get.
- Remove the heavy muzzle flashs and IS blocking smoke effects for all SMG's so one has a clear field of view while shooting(STG44 is the perfect example how it should be done).It s impossible to realise when an enemy is down on servers where death messages are off,even when the enemy is 10 meters away!!!As people who already shot some of these weapons posted,the huge amount of smoke and muzzle flash effect isn't realistic.Of course there needs to be some kind of effect so the shooting isn't to sterile,that s why i gave the STG44 as an example,you have a clear field of view when it comes to the IS and the effects are beneath it and it feels great to shoot this gun.
Many people have posted that they are worried about game balance, but the changes suggested by me aren't changeing the whole gameplay,they just make SMG's more believable.
The weaker recoils are already in the game,problem is that while standing there are also values that have a very high recoil as a result(Thats what i mean with patterns)Removeing these values and getting them more close to the weaker recoil values would solve the problem.
Thats also the reason why many people thought the SMG recoils got patched with the new release,they just got the weak recoil patterns as these get selected randomly by the game.
At the moment everybody just goes into a crouched position with weapons like the PPSH41.Makeing shooting more controllable while standing isn't changeing the game because it is already part of the game.
It just more realistic and authentic,these weapons are made for assaulting,often while not beeing crouched or prone,so shooting while just standing should be more controllable.
It shouldn t be too much work either as it s basically about removeing things(reduceing values)
