Re: Assault class -- Basically useless?

While the Assault has G3, the Medic class has G3E, which I always use. That is why I always use medic now.

Once you unlock the G3, you'll see the usefullness of the assault class.

Oh yeah G3 is my PKM killer, despite it's power, it's accuracy and low ammo in the clip makes it fairly poor for long range, but short to medium it can be devastating.

Re: Assault class -- Basically useless?

I say DAO is pretty damn good at medium range; one shot, one kill.

Re: Assault class -- Basically useless?

remember, that there are other factor beside numbers, numbers dont kill

Numbers are there to help you understand the weaponry so that your own personal beliefs don't blind you to reality. They help you understand the advantages of your weapons to help see when they will be strong enough to overcome the disadvantages.

If you can't accept that, then fine, go join all the people who think the SCAR-L is more accurate than the G36C, who think either of them are more accurate than the M4 or QBZ, that the L85A1 is the most accurate assault rifle, and that the M95 is just a less-accurate M24 that can shoot pilots.

The G3 has a small clip and nasty recoil, but it also drops enemies faster than any other automatic in the game, including the LMGs. What you're saying though is comparable to saying the DAO-12 sucks because it takes a long time to reload. Every weapon comes with its disadvantages, and ammo should hardly be a concern anyway with the massive influx of support players running around.

show us stats that prove you know what you are talking about.

G3 does 40 damage with 600 RPM. At 450 RPM, that would be the equivilent of 53 per shot (the PKM does 45). At 900 RPM, that would be the equivilent of 27 per shot, the only weapons that exceed that are the G36E and M16, which are burst-fire and will NOT kill a healthy target in one burst.

Kills unarmored in 3 hits (which is 2 after the first shot, a.k.a. 0.2 seconds) and armored in 4 (which is 3 after the first shot, a.k.a. 0.3 seconds)

Only other full-auto weapons close to that are the Type 95 and SAW, which both kill an unarmored target in 0.2 sec and an armored in 0.4. Which makes the G3 the most powerful bullet-spewer in the game.

Happy?

Re: Assault class -- Basically useless?

I think they should have nerfed it but this badly? No. But assult is not the only one that got owned. Engineers have been, for the lack of a better word "crap" sicne the beginning.

Re: Assault class -- Basically useless?

i love the G3 and it is one of the only guns i use now

Re: Assault class -- Basically useless?

To answer the original question: no, not useless, but the speed for armor tradeoff is not worth it. I like the sprint idea, whoever came up with it. I personally would just like 3 smoke grenades.

[PHPT]

Re: Assault class -- Basically useless?

More sprint/smoke is really the best solution. One extra smoke and sprint somewhere between medic and current assault would be perfect.

Re: Assault class -- Basically useless?

lol nvm chubz
On anova note how about assault bein improved by givin them more armour or mayb a mortar(dont think they use them anymore but on BFV they were heavenly)

Fool-proof landmines have made the engineer class much more useful as of late.
