the facts because some people like to spread misinformation:
-SMG has to compete with the scrambler pistol not with the AR, but the scrambler pistol is actually far superior as sidearm
(fun note: the scrambler pistol gets huge headshot bonus damage because it scramble neurons, but well the SMG fires small explosive rounds, because exploding the face is less devasting than scramble neurons  )
-SMG clip is not huge, the SMG fires as long as the AR before it runs out
-SMG clip is not huge, it deals less damage per reload than AR
-SMG reload time is not superior, it reloads as fast as the AR
-SMG is not accurate, it misses alot outside 10 meters when you fire constantly
-SMG does not deal more dps than AR, SMG deals 30% less
-SMG optimal range gets up to 20meters with skills, but good luck hitting someone with it enough to kill someone due to the accuracy.
-due to the falloff mechanic and accuracy of some shotguns, the shotgun can still two shot SMG users at 20m which is the SMGs optimal range with sharpshooter skill
-the breach SMG is totally useless, it has 1 meter less range and 30% less dps over the regular one and it gets a MINOR accuracy boost for the drawbacks
-the SMG sights are totally useless because they reduce the turning speed significantly
oh and before someone tries to make made up "points" again:
-I have SMG prof. at lvl 5
-I have sidearm sharpshooter at lvl 5
-I have done about 500 kills and a positive KDR while running SMG only in a militia logi suit so I know well how this weapon works
-the SMG is pointless on a logi suit once you upgrade from militia logi suit to the standard one or stop using militia items. logi suits have huge fittings and with some sp in fitting skills it is well possible to carry a mass driver or AR with all the other stuff. you can also use some 0 PG items, or skip grenades before you have enough fitting skills and still carry an AR and mass driver.
-on my assault suit the SMG is pointless as sidearmor too because fitting is not an issue again and I just fit the superior scrambler sidearm
-the only suit that might benefit from the SMG is the scout, especially scout type 2 with two equipment slots because the scout has low PG/CPU. |
