PKM or DAO?

[Thanatos]

Hi guys I've been searching for the past few days and couldn't properly find out what people recommend. Now I guess it comes down to which kit I prefer to play, I'm starting to get better with AT so I've been using that alot more recently, although I would really like to unlock the MG36 so I would have to go through the PKM before I could get that, I like playing support.

Just thought I'd try bounce a few ideas around and pick your brains.

Many thanks, Tom.

If you like playing support, then pick the PKM. The AT unlock is only usefull at close combat(very close) like the engineer. The third unlock for the support rocks(Must have SF). I got my 20 kills in a round with it

PKM if you want to own people and be a score whore. It is a good gun and you will need it to get the MG36.

DAO if you're planning on playing AT more. sure it's not good for long range, but at close range it's a beast. just make sure you get out of harms way for reloads, cuz it takes a while. i don't play support much, though.

However I can use the MP5 and MEC smg pretty well, but I think the USMC SAW is **** compared to the MEC machine gun, so thats another thing on my mind.

PKM all the way, I wouldnt unlock the MG36 until last. The PKM is a far superior weapon to the MG36

Use the dao to start off with---The PKM is great, but the stock support weapons are good too. Much better than the stock ones you find in the AT kit. Plus the Dao-12 is the best close combat weapon in the game
Good Luck

The PKM was the ultimate weapon in 1.2. I was just playing with it the other day and it sucked worse than the pistol. I had to put 10 shots into each person I killed. One guy I shot 5 times in the head about 10 feet away and he still killed me. Maybe it was just the server but I've had way better reliability with the default support weapons.

If you like to mow down infantry I would say definitly PKM. If you like to take out vehicles and get dirty in close go for the DAO. I use the PKM alot for Wake Island and Gulf of Oman when defending bases. I think the DAO may be more useful in city maps as you can get the drop on guys better. Karkand tends to be very close quarters in some location. I would say get the gun that best suits your favorite maps

Re: PKM or DAO?

Warrior's right. The MG36 is a good gun, but if you're playing support, the PKM whips it. I regret unlocking the MG36 - not because it's bad, but because the PKM is so good that I never use the MG36 so it was a waste of an unlock.

That said, the DAO is a huge improvement over the standard AT guns, so if you play a lot of anti-tank you might prefer that. It's only drawback is the lack of range.

Re: PKM or DAO?

Well I mainly play city maps to be honest because I don't like jets everywhere, tanks and APC's are fine to deal with lol. Only thing which puts me off the DAO is the range, as there have been alot of situations where I've defended a flag from afar with MP5 on single shot.

Guess I could look at it like this..

PKM (support kit) = just kills infantry well.
DAO (AT kit) = kills tanks and infantry well.

PKM: excell at long range (automatic SVD), excellent at medium, sucks at close range.

MG36: great at close range, decent at medium, more like a support-assualt weapon.

DAO is a class changer. That gun rules everything up close. It makes you move differently to get up close and use cover to your advantage. Using the DAO has really helped me with other guns as well, to get the jump on people and send em packin.
