The PKM is out of control.

Re: The PKM is out of control.

The PKM is becoming a problem. Support seems to be by far the most popular kit in all the servers I play in anymore.

The problem with the PKM, however, isn't accuracy. While I agree that the accuracy is sometimes a bit much, there are bigger problems I see. The problem with the PKM is that people aren't using it in a supporting fire role. The PKM is being used by people assaulting a base. The gun can be accurately fired from the hip (especially while crouched), and going from sprinting to prone firing is almost instantaneous. It's ridiculous.

I propose that they make the support kit so it cannot fire with any accuracy at all from standing or crouched position. Then, they add an animation sequence for the support kit when it goes prone (setting up a bipod or something), so that there is a several-second delay for a support person to go from standing to prone.

If this was done, support kits could fill their role of providing deadly covering fire and holding defensive positions against charging infantry, but they would no longer be able to fill the role of assault. Problem solved without nerfing anything and there would be more strategy involved in gameplay and kit selection.

Re: The PKM is out of control.

Ive been a support player since day 1 when this game came out and Ive unlocked every support weapon. People who do this give us hardcore support people a bad name, and I have to admit I like the PKM but I would still survive without it.

Re: The PKM is out of control.

I am coming into this conversation late but here is my 2 cents. Before the patch at Karkland I always played support because there were medics galore everywhere. When I play I usually try and fill a role that isn't taken up so I learned to be a support guy the right way (provide covering fire and provide ammo when you can).

With the patch I know noticed there are support guys EVERYWHERE and fewer medics. So what am I doing now? Playing a medic.

It's a bit annoying that in a team game everyone one is playing for themselves and not the team. It makes me think there isn't much that can be done. Tweek or don't tweek the pkm it will just cause the herd to run to something else.

There is hope!!!!

It is called 21cw mod.
We have 2 tournaments depending on where you are situated, 21 cw America and 21cwAAF Australia.

Full military ranking, teamwork, structure and Balance.
Did I mention balance - that is the main aim of our tournaments. Too provide a balance for all players, whether grunt or flyboy, you will have a chance to deal the pain.
All standard weapons have been tweaked in some fasion to better represent what it is. {I.E. M16 more accurate at mid too long range but AK47 has less accurassy but has more power in its bullet just like the 2 different bullets used. Both have a balance}
