Support is op as hell.

Anyone else agree with me?

No countered by Recon class, direct counter for support is Tanks and Recons, counter for assault is support, scout, air vehicles. Anti air counter is support, Anti Land vehicle counter is assault.

He's not OP he's just viable for the first time in the series since BC2. I don't even know how anyone would play him in BF2 honestly. I'm glad people actually play him, anything is better than being forced to run out of ammo as virtually any other class in BF4

I mostly play support and i can guarantee you that it's not op in anyway.
Support has the mortars and limpets on one hand,but in anyway their lmgs can counter an assault in a close range firefight,with the exceptions of 4 weapons.The BAR,Madsen,Burton and Chauchat that give you enough chances to kill him first.
A skilled assault will win most fights up to 20 meters against a huge mag lmg support,unless the second surprises or outplays him.
In distances over 20 meters though,the support player has indeed the advantage.
What imo is best about support is the ability to keep your team loaded with ammo so you continue fighting and the fact that a few skilled gunners guarding entrypoints or the flanks can wipe out whole enemy assaults in literally no time flat.

Assault is op my friend.Scout can dominate in long range,but all he has is his rifle.
An assault has the rocket gun,anti-tank nades,dynamite,you name it.
Plus his primary weapons will wipe you out in no time in close quarters.

i prefer scout or medic than support

It depends on the situation. Mapps like Passchendalle really reward support strengths. However, Neville Nights or Amiens, maps that often get up close and personal, and smg or a shotty will dispatch any of the mmgs with little work. Maps like Sinai can be navigated by a good support player (or 1917 telescopic noob), but are much more amicable to scouts. Furthermore, some scout heavy maps will make support nearly impossible to play. Nothing is more delectable to a good sniper than a super loud, obnoxious, slow moving, guy on the ground with his head sticking out.

Hat off to you,sir.
Just a slight correction,Amiens can be really rewarding also to a support player that knows the spots of the map in which he can be really useful to his team and a real pain for the enemy.

There is not support.........

the game dont load........ steam stole my money

Assault Is OP, if you can't get positive KD as assault than your just bad at the game.
Assault has the best guns now days... Like at least back in the day... the SMG08/18 didn't exist and when it did it was fairly balanced with a 450 RPM, but assault has kind of Always been OP, since his goal is to literally kill people/kill everything which means if your a KD ♥♥♥♥- than you will always pick them, unless your good at scout, which scout isn't as big of an issue as assault since most of his weapons take more aim than assault.

But playing support and medic in this day and age isnt as fun... even then to stay competitive it feels like your forced into using the BAR 1918 and burton

In fact you can be very competitive playing support or medic,no matter the gun you pick.
It all goes to playstyle,experience,knowledge of the map you play,skill and of course luck.
Assault is indeed op,hands down.But imo getting positive k/d in every game does not depend solely on you,since it's a team game and if your team sucks or the other team is just better than yours you'll die more.
Also don't forget that a support or medic can tear you to pieces before you get into your weapon's comfort zone.
You need to be up close and personal playing assault,and there will be games that no matter your skill you will just not be able to.

Definitely my favourite class but I wouldn't say OP.
Telescopic prone worms bring down median IQ of support players a lot.

All lmgs are much more effective when played prone,especially telescopic ones.
Same happens in reality also.
People using a scoped lmg the way it's meant to be used don't do anything wrong,no matter how nerve breaking it might be at times.
