Well was thinking for a while now in this game and about it's weapon classes.
How about adding a LMG (Light Machine Gun) to the game? I mean it could fill the gap between AR and HMG. And instead of the heavies always getting the big guns, why not let the mediums get a big gun themselves?
I mean it could have the ammo size of a HMG but a slightly more powerful attack power (But not too much)
Could be used for suppressing fire or something.
I dunno, just had a suggestion but wanted to share it. |

Nonono, not more damage than the HMG I meant damage that is more than the AR but lower than the HMG.
I'm sorry I worded that wrong. I meant in between the HMG and AR.
Or same damage as AR just longer range and huge clip.
But if course I didn't mean stronger than HMG |

My suggestion was going to be like yours but I worded everything in this topic wrong.
The gun would be like this:
Slightly more damaging than the AR
Fire rate is equal to the AR Breach
Slower than AR reload by half
Recoil - Medium/High
Range - a LITTlE bit longer than AR
Can be weilded by medium and heavy, except for Scouts/light
Again, I am very sorry I worded that wrong. |

Additionally it should have a movement penalty if used by a non-heavy frame. Minmatar LMG Rate of Fire: 650 rpm Max Ammo: 140 rounds Magazine Size: 20 rounds Damage: 35-37 (basic to proto) Speed reduction by non-heavy frame: 5% Weapon climb if not used by a heavy frame: 1.5-¦ climb per round shot in a burst Dispersion Cone approximately like that of the HMG when fired by a light or med frame (AR like when fired by a heavy frame) Range Optimal: 35m Range Effective: 85m Range Maximum: 175m Damage vs shields: 100% Damage vs armor: 110% CPU: 45-110 (basic to proto) PG: 5 - 10 (basic to proto) Reload time: 6 sec.
That is a pretty good idea. But a problem with clip size... The average AR has like... 48 or 60 rounds in the clip. Why not make the clip at least 30 or 40 to balance out the clip size. And probably have a max of 160 or 240 |

Heavy gun standard does 14-17 depending on variant while proto guns are just under 20 per bullet. I think the RoF should be SMG level but obviously a more effective range and 100 round clip is decent. However, i don't think this is feasible let the heavy have the freaking mini gun. That is their job, not us medium suits. A gun like this would put the mini gun to shame in this game.
That's the problem I am having here. The LMG would be similar to the HMG just lighter and weaker but there isn't really a way to make it so that it is balanced. I mean I just want something that chews through armor but not shields. But that job is already for the HMG. So I dunno what to do for the LMG.

Exactly, some of the weapons for medium class are ridiculous. Such as the swarm and plasma, as you mentioned. It just doesent seem to fit the size for the mediums as much as they fit for heavy.
So that's why I'm suggesting another kind of weapon. A 'brother' to the AR and HMG, the LMG. For medium and heavy. |

Maybe CCP could have dual wielding soon, like for pistols and smg's
But yeah, what I actually meant by LMG was just a bigger version of the AR. Or "An AR on steroids" |

As long as the sniper rifle remains a light weapon and the MD is bumped up to medium, I'm fine with this. Lights don't need to be using those types of weapons anyway.
`Sigh. Just another fun game of DUST  .
As a dedicated sniper with light armor, I agree with you. |

That could work. |

The idea of adding a LMG is a valid one but, as you can see, not all that popular  +1 for posting your suggestion as it is the only way CCP can learn what the ppl want. Hmmm I suppose I can throw my 2ISK in the pot. How about; More Dmg then the AR More ammo then the AR but less then the HMG Wild recoil (even with operations lv 5) so even with it's high DPS it is hard to actually hit the target.Slower fire rate the AR (Default would be about equal to the Breach AR) Very slow reload (still faster then the HMG though) Has a lot of bullets and deals damage but the balance is it's slow reload and the fact that hitting the target very difficult. Spraying wildly at a group of enemies could easily disperse them as just a few shots will do them in and they wouldn't want to give you an easy shot. Eh... that's all I got. Thnx again for the thread.  Better idea for that. Wild recoil but has the choice for a bipod/monopod to be used in crouch. Can be a cool, futuristic telescopic rod that extends to the ground.
So a futuristic version of the Battlefield 3 LMG's? |
