The P-90

[Scort]

Re: The P-90

Sadly, I didn't unlock the P90, and need 24K points before I can

I have used it a couple of times though, and found it to be quite good - but agreed that the ROF should be much higher.

The damage and accuracy fit the class imo, you're AT, not Assault - it is very handy for a bit of CQB or to cover yourself whilst moving to make the next AT shot, so good enough imo.

Not wishing to start any flames, but I think the weapon damage is ok as is, for all classes - it seems to be a pretty good mix of RL and 'arcade'.

Just like 1942, this game isn't trying to be a simulation, or have the realism of something like AA, it's there for all out fun - I for one wouldn't wish to see this change in the vanilla BF2; that's what mods can do for us!

Scort.

Re: The P-90

But you can already achieve the same effect with the pistol...better accuracy it seems, just without the zoom.

I would go for the P90 anyway. if you want to play as anti-tank and still want some range shooting, i wouldn't just rely on the pistol. choose the P90 and then you have 2 weapons good for ranges! and the P90 could also be used in Auto mode as a bonus if you would get in CQC.

Re: The P-90

I really want the P90 unlocked, but so far I only tryed it from picking it up by some dead body. I enjoy using the AT kit, but the P90 I really want to see improved. The other AT guns really suck. I really want more hopes for this gun.

Re: The P-90

I have been useing the P90 alot recently and am about to abandon it. I have on multiple occations had a guy basically fill the screen and I just hold the trigger down. He turns around and kills me with a single burst from his ge or a couple shots from the dao.

I have found that it usually takes half a clip at close range to kill a guy that is 25 bullets. I mean that would kill and elephant! In the prone position and shooting a guy with bursts that was near a wall I could see the bullets flying all over the place! (except the guy I was shooting at Luckally there was 3 other guys with me to kill him)

The best long ranged at weapons is the AT rocket. It is a one hit kill and is the most accurate of all the At weapons.

As a side note the MP7 is not much better. Lastnight I was prone and right next to 2 guys empted the clip (40 bullets) right into both of them (managed to kill one) then pulled out my pistol and was blasting away at the guy when he finally returned fire and killed me. I mean if these were .22 cal bullets they would have both been dead and I would have had 10 rounds left.

Re: The P-90

They need to make the P90 identical to the PP19 or other SMGs which are all the same, but just let it have the red dot/aimpoint. That is really all that needs to be changed because damage is fine, but the aimpoint will get you a lot more kills since it is more precise. I kill pretty good with it, but I stay back and single shot it and get kills from a distance, even though that is not the way the gun was intended to be used.

Up close, if you try and spray recklesses, the accuracy goes to hell which is unlike the other SMGs at all. If you use burst up close it is fine, but they really just need to make it like the others and not anymore powerful or anything like that since all we reallly need is the aimpoint to set it apart.

Re: The P-90

I've been using the pistol a lot..and I'd have to say that, at this point, I'm more accurate and can get a higher ROF with a pistol.

Maybe that'll change with a little more p90 practice

You have a point. Look at the AT, it really isnt too powerful compared with other classes.

I mean i have shot an AT at a machinegun nest that had 4 soldiers in it and all i killed was the gunner.

I love the 12 shot shotgun. Awesome for close range. The MP5 is good too, but the P90 seems to replace its benefits.

So if the P90 isnt to be increased, then maybe make the AT weapon a little more powerful.

I grow tired of hitting a tank 4 times to kill it

Re: The P-90

I had a chance to fire and actual P-90 while I was in the Marines (It was a demonstration by FN to try and get the Corps to purchase the system).

Id like to impart a few things about the weapon.

The rate of fire is VERY impressive to someone who's used to M-249's and the like. The flow of spent brass from the bottom of this thing looks almost solid. The muzzle flash is significantly larger than that of an MP-5, and the report sounds almost like a snare drum. It is VERY distinct.

Recoil is almost non-existant. I watched an FN rep fire an entire magazine in a single full-auto burst while in a standing position at a target roughly 50m away, and Ill be damned if there werent 50 holes in that thing.

The 5.7mm ammunition it uses is essentially a low mass small caliber hyper-velocity copper-jacketed aluminum slug (might be steel cased, its been a few beers er years). It is designed, much like the 4.6mm the Mp-7 uses, to basically ignore personal armor. It is capable of defeating CRISAT standard armor at 150m, while retaining enough energy and mass to create a noteworthy wound.

There is a downside to this ammo though, its wounding capabillity is roughly equal to a .22 magnum, meaning that multiple hits are a must to neutralize a target. This is why the magazine size and rate of fire are so high.

During the trials, the weapon I was using felt very solid (most plastic weapons either feel like toys or tupperware) and was extremely comfortable to use. Magazine switching was surprisingly easy to learn, and was easy from the standing and prone.

The integrated red-dot sight is fantastic, and well suited to the weapon as its ammo has a nice flat ballistic flight path.

I would like this weapon for CQB-mid range combat, but I must admit some concerns about the single-round power it offers. Given the choice between this and a 10mm MP-5, Id take the 10mm.

Re: The P-90

When the patch was first released i spent a few rounds trying to get used to it, but its just too hard. Its not powerful enough like the dao is.
