Currently leveling my rifleman. How long am I going to go at this to get hero? 5 levels? And what are the bonuses? And what is weapon focus?

AFAIK the max rank you level yourself to is Veteran, and the Hero position is assigned to different people in side actual games based on Honour level and performance.

Correct me if I'm wrong but the I'm pretty sure the max class rank is Highly Decorated (Lvl 5). Depending on the server you will be picked to be a Hero after that.

Level 5 (Highly Decorated) Honor level 80

Then when you join a server it will tell you if your playing as Hero and have access to the Enemy loadout.

Time wise? Hard to say. Depends on your playing style. I play all the classes. Rifleman mostly. I have 301 Hours logged. Made Hero at 298hrs. Your mileage may vary.:)

Getting Capping points and defending points, giving ammo, protecting the commander or squad leader are all good ways to level up your honor. Your weapon levels independently, based on kills.

Best as I can tell, is that the blurriness when you go to ADS is shorter percentage wise. In other words you focus on target faster.

Weapon Focus is how long the breath holding stabilizes the weapon. At max level you get roughly an extra quarter of a second of held breath before the weapon sway resumes. Whoopee. Like most of the stat boosts from leveling, it makes no real gameplay difference.

As for how long it takes to max out a class, that depends entirely on how well you're scoring with it. Weapon levels are bestowed by kills, but the classes are leveled by points. Soak up those point bonuses from objective zones. The Honor 80 requirement took longer for me, I already had SL and Commander maxed out on the points requirement long before hitting the honor level requirement.
