    Liking the Support class more and more...

    Up until recently i hardly ever played the support class. I played the engineer and medic almost exclusively. At first i just couldn't warm to the LMG that the support class gets due to its horrendous inaccuracy while not firing through the Iron sights and the lack of run and gun effectiveness. But now that ive played a few maps getting to know the stengths, Im really taking a shine to this class and the teamplay it can bring.

    I find that if you play within the mid-range, go prone as often as possible and try to resist running toward the enemy, you can really cause havok. The lack of accuracy becomes a very minor thing when you send in a sh*t storm of bullets at the poor bastrd trying to get the hell away. Hehe, even though most of your shots miss it's funny as hell watching all the dirt getting torn up around them leaving a corpse when the smoke clears :laugh: Then of course you can use suppresive fire for your squad, become a minor threat to incoming choppers and jeeps and just generaly tear up the place

    From what i have read the PKM unlock sounds really nice. It seems that it has a more powerfull hit per round but slower rate of fire.

    Is it less accurate than the default gun?(can't remember name) And is there more recoil?

    Hmm, i must remember to dish out those ammo packs more often too

    Please post your feedback on good support tactics and of course, the PKM

    Cheers

    IMO, the PKM is more accurate and although slower, it does massive damage.

      i think the support guns are basically bollocks. The US one is especially disgraceful, but the others are more managable however whats the point when a little assault or spec ops guns just kills you before you hail of random bullets hardly touches them?

        yeah, I love playing the support class. when I get my 1st un-lock, it will be the PKM. much more damage to hit than the US support weapon (the M249? SAW).

        it's great to be in a vehicle with an ENGie, and together you can tool around and fix & re-supply everyone. it's fun!

          Yea, I hear you. I only had one proud moment killing 5 soldiers who all spawned on their squad leader. I snuck up behind him, they spawned and I got scared. I proned and unleashed hell. Otherwise I just use the machine gun to supress the enemy while my squad flanks or whatever.

            you just have to know how to work it. have to be prone, and shoot burts of 3 or so bullets at a time.

              Yes, the RPK is the best un-unlocked support, and the M249 and Type89(?) are pieces of crap. The M249 and Chinese gun have a higher RoF though.
