0obleckII Dead Six Initiative Lokun Listamenn 0	Posted - 2013.05.29 22:09:00 - [1] - Quote title says it all, do you guys think the smg is viable as a primary weapon? And if so, what strategies would you recommend?
Alaika Arbosa Matari Combat Research and Manufacture Inc. Interstellar Murder of Crows 250	Posted - 2013.05.29 22:10:00 - [2] - Quote Nope, nothing to see there. It sucks, don't bother.
N1ck Comeau Pro Hic Immortalis RISE of LEGION 391	Posted - 2013.05.29 22:10:00 - [3] - Quote Yes. Close quarters combat.
PEW JACKSON L.O.T.I.S. RISE of LEGION 3	Posted - 2013.05.29 22:15:00 - [4] - Quote It is if you run it with a weapon to take out shields. Great against armor tankers.

No, it sucks, best CQC weapon is tact AR + modded controller. This. I run dual SMGs on my minmatar light frame. They do good work against armor up close. Problem is, you're real gimped whenever you come across a shield tanked proto medium. And if there's any sort of distance between you and your target, you're practically throwing marshmallows.

No, even in CQC, the tact will win, due to modded controller BS.

Delta 749 Kestrel Reconnaissance 100	Posted - 2013.05.29 22:37:00 - [10] - Quote Flux grenades are definitely your friend with a SMG, other than that mobility is key so you can get close enough to shove it down someones throat

Iron Wolf Saber Den of Swords 4749	Posted - 2013.05.29 22:38:00 - [11] - Quote Three guys in a tight choke point gap between two boxes. Took out the SMG out and mowed them all down no problem.
Full Metal Kitten Chatelain Rapid Response Gallente Federation 627	Posted - 2013.05.29 22:40:00 - [12] - Quote I run FP as sidearm of choice on all fits now. It can kill people that SMG can't reach.

Nova Fortis Commando Perkone Caldari State 6	Posted - 2013.05.29 22:45:00 - [14] - Quote I think so. As long as you're close, it's fast and powerful. Its reloading time is faster than the AR's, I believe.
Doc Noah Algintal Core Gallente Federation 61	Posted - 2013.05.29 23:50:00 - [15] - Quote If you're in melee distance and the person has no shields, its one of the strongest sidearms by far if you can keep the crosshair on them. Only downside is the horrible hitreg due to its extreme RoF and pillow throw distances.
VLIGHT5 The Judas Coalition 207	Posted - 2013.05.29 23:55:00 - [16] - Quote use it as primary on my logi works well
Shane Darko The Unholy Legion Of DarkStar DARKSTAR ARMY 54	Posted - 2013.05.30 00:04:00 - [17] - Quote I roll with a toxin as my sidearm,Plasma swinging usually does not kill someone instant,that's what the lil toxin is used for to finish them off.
0obleckII Dead Six Initiative Lokun Listamenn 0	Posted - 2013.05.30 00:13:00 - [18] - Quote aw too bad :(, would be cool if you could dual wield smgs like in the minmatar suit image i see xD
Marston VC SVER True Blood Unclaimed. 274	Posted - 2013.05.30 00:21:00 - [19] - Quote 0obleckII wrote: title says it all, do you guys think the smg is viable as a primary weapon? And if so, what strategies would you recommend? Its amazing, the prototype one is practically a short range assault rifle. (trust me, ive died from it enough to know)
Sontie Ill Omens EoN. 455	Posted - 2013.05.30 03:35:00 - [20] - Quote I've seen guys wreck face with proto smg's with speedy suits. I do believe it's do-able, but you have to build a suit to fit it's play style. It's well suited to the minmatar assault, with a complex kin cat and stamina mod on the low slots and shield tank the highs. Use cover and speed to close with the enemy, preferably from the flank and unload at about 10-5 meters. You have to be able to predict the enemies shots to out dance their dps. Tac's do a lot of damage, when they can hit. You on the other hand can hardly miss.

Rupture Reaperson Deadly Blue Dots RISE of LEGION 154	Posted - 2013.05.30 03:44:00 - [21] - Quote Six kin+ flux+toxin. Bring it.
Cinnamon267 The Southern Legion RISE of LEGION 69	Posted - 2013.05.30 03:45:00 - [22] - Quote Primary weapon? Not so much. It's a great compliment weapon to something else. I used it with the laser and with the Scrambler. Worked pretty well. I use the flaylock, now. It's... really addictive.

Hey lass, it was a smg that helped secure that win me and you had in skirmish. Of course I used my shotty and RE too. But as a primary? Nah, you can find better.

mollerz Minja Scouts 336	Posted - 2013.05.30 04:19:00 - [25] - Quote I use an SMG as back up to my IshNoks.
Surt gods end Demon Ronin 178	Posted - 2013.05.30 04:35:00 - [26] - Quote using six kin now but only cause Ish is probably made of pieces of the masamune, cause It uses so much damn cpu.
Jason Pearson Seraphim Initiative. CRONOS. 1405	Posted - 2013.05.30 04:36:00 - [27] - Quote SMG is beast BUT.. It can't compete with the Tac AR, you'll get bested everytime. If they ever fix it, the best suggestion would be either Long Range weapon (Like Tac AR) and SMG, or Scrambler Rifle (Possibly Assault) and SMG for CQC, Rinse the shields with the SCAR and then wreck the armor with the SMG
