Support weapons

[Solar71]

Hey all...

I play support sometimes... the guy that gives ammo...

I want to know, how good is his unlockabble weapon ?

And do you know where i can see it compaired to the normal support machine gun ?

Does it do more damage ?
is it more accurate ?

thanks

Re: Support weapons

The PKM is an awesome weapon. I don't have the numbers on me, but it does more damage than the default support weapon and is less accurate.

The key to using the PKM is short controlled bursts.

^Ignore his second part

Support is my #1 kit so I feel I should be qualified with these findings

PKM: Same accuracy as standard MGs for the most part, greatest stopping power: 3 hit kill anywhere. Less recoil (as in ride up) than the 249, it is most accurate going full auto. Badass noise, 100 round drum, same rleoad, overheats after 51 continuous shots aka takes twice as long as the SAW going automatic. It has a different feel, but once you're used to it it is a step over the default.

Re: Support weapons

Hey cool...

So its more powerfull... Shweet!!!
And its "about" the same accuracy... cool...

Sounds like a good unlock for me...
I was trying to choose between the support unlock and the Engineer unlock...

I play the 3 support classes all the time... in fact those are the only classes i play "ussually"

Medic L85 i unlocked and i love it...
Support and Engineer are my next 2 choices...
I am getting close to 2nd unlock... Maybe 2-3 weeks more...

Hmmm... I would get the engineer unlock if the mines/tk problem was fixed...
but its not... so im not playing engineer very much right now...

So ok, i think the Support "PKM" will be my next unlock...

thanks

Re: Support weapons

PKM is truely the people killing machine!
Thing is incredible. Some times on Urban maps I switch to different kits to fool around, but they minute I need to get even or rack up a few points or even charge a base or get it back..out comes the PKM!

Re: Support weapons

The PKM has the same bullet deviation as the RPK-74. THe M249 and Type95 deviate more. So lets forget the less accurrate guns and just talk about the two most accurate.

The PKM does 45 per hit and fires 450 rounds per minute. The RPK-74 does 35 per hit and fires 600 rounds per minute. Both can kill an unarmored 100 hit point man with 3 bullets. The RPK does shoot faster so it will kill a split second faster than the PKM.

The PKM can kill an armored target in 4 shots, the RPK takes 5 shots, but it does shoot faster so it may even out.

The PKM has a better chance of a single bullet on an injured target, since it does hit slighly harder.

I like the RPK-74 best, but play the PKM when I can't get it.

Re: Support weapons

I got it for my first unlock since Support is my favorite kit but it's really not much of an upgrade. I abandoned that account and started a new one to unlock the DAO-12, which I love (AT is my #2 kit).

Re: Support weapons

when ppl say the pkm isnt accurate becaue of charts, they never take the recoil build up into account.
more shots = more recoil.
