DAO12 Suck? Discuss.

[Propeck]

I think you probably duck and cover with this weapon more than any other, but when you do get charged by the enemy, it's all over for them. You can unload those 12 shells as fast as you please. Unfortunately, I hadn't figured out how to interrupt reloading all those durn shells without switching to another weapon entirely. Medium and Long range you have to switch to the SRAW, making Support gunners the Anti-Tanks best friend!

I am also a member of the cult of DAO. It is worthless for long range, but if you practice with the SRAW you can pick off most people. If I encounter someone short-medium range I sprint at them (hopefully with a tree or something else as cover) and wip out the DAO and they are mostly DOA (I made a funny...not really). I mapped out the pistol to be the mouse three button so when I get in the heat of battle and don't have time to reload I switch to the pistol and try and take out a few other people. Sometimes you can hit someone up close with the predator, but you will only get one shot because the reload time is horrendous. You really need this kit on some levels or else the tanks rape you. In fact I wish the predator was a tad stronger because getting off three shots can be difficult (I know good aiming can bring that down to one shot). There is also nothing like watching a full jeep barrel down at you and nailing them with one predator shot as they get close.

If you think the reload time on the DAO is bad the reload time on the engineering upgrade will kill you. At least with the DAO you can reload immediately after shooting two shots and keep the thing fresh all the time. The reload for that engineering gun takes long no matter what.

So come and join us, its much easier to kill those tanks when their two people shooting at them. Hell you can even take out a jet or helo with some practice.

gah i dunnoooooooo

i finaly figured out how to unlock weapons in SP and i was playing around with it and... aaaa its just toooo well shot gun like lol

sure its great at close range, but outside of 25 feet its a pain in the ass to kill some1, the mp5 was much better... reload time does suck but thats nota biggy for me, im thinking theres some learn curve to this and sometime i will fig out how to use it but for now im tied..

i really wana learn how to use the DAO 12 well but i've been playing aroud with the PKM and holy **** does that thing rock! =D soooo for my next unlock (5,000 more pts..) im not sure which one to go for.. well i'll just keep on testing for now...

Up close its great, any distance and it sucks but you can get a few lucky hits if you just spray. Overall a pretty good gun for its purpose. As the AT man your first duty is just to take out any armor that comes your squads way. Only use the dao if you have to engage in close combat. When I'm AT, I let my squad take on the infantry and I just take out the armor and helis.
