VS LMG rebalance incoming

I think it’ll happen re the 0.75, but you’re right about the smg’s and shotguns, and also that it’s come from community tears. The only thing is that I don’t actually think .75 ads was really that significant in terms of the gun performance, although it does definitely aid a little in survivability at times. The good news though is that this makes switching between the other factions easier in the long run, the bad news is that VS LMGs are starting to look like the worst of the bunch.

Before we panic though bear in mind that I tested this out on test this morning and I found that the Orion, SVA, and BG were all noticeably more accurate. There seems to be a lot less deviation from the overall recoil pattern, which is itself more or less a straight line up. The only problem is that I checked the TR and NC LMGs on test as well, and they also seem a lot more accurate…however, in running this test there was perhaps a factor interfering with the result as I had mouse acceleration ticked as “on” on PTS, and off on Live. The interesting thing though is that test felt all round more accurate, and it felt less accurate when I turned accel off. Kizz just tried reversing his options in game as well and found that he could snap aim better with it “on” as well, and I’ve just finished the first session in a long time where I didn’t feel like there was a problem with my mouse. It may be placebo, but the current theory is that a recent patch may have inverted the on off command, so that on is now actually off. This also fits very nicely with what I was observing recently, as I had out of the blue started overshooting targets, however I’ve not seen anything on reddit about this, and it’s been a few weeks since I “noticed”, so I do kind of doubt my findings.
