M60 feels worse

Even after the hotfix the M60 feels kinda bad - is that just me?

both the Lewis and M60 have lot of recoil. But while the Lewis one is not hard to handle, the M60 one is much less predictible and I think Embark should make it easier to control.

You're just taking away the advantage that the Lewis Gun has.

Lewis Gun has others pros. Each shot feels punchier, the iron sights are clearer and even though it has 23 bullets less than the M60, its reload speed makes it a little more versatile overall (you really don't want to reload an M60 while being pursued by other players).

My point was about the feeling before and after the patch/hotfix - it seems to have more recoil now. With 1.4.0 it felt pretty well balanced

i have tested it and tbh i dont feel any difference m60 still feels so hard to control

23 rounds is still quite significant, especially in terms of opportunities to make mistakes, miss or longer-lasting engagements. Also the reload time angle is negligible since the difference is a measly 0.5 seconds.

And yes, while the Lewis 'feels' punchier. It's only 3 more damage than the m60. Which *does* mean you'll kill players in one less bullet (6 Bullets to 7 on a light) - the m60 is shooting 120 RPM faster, which according to the chart *is* technically faster in TTK than the Lewis Gun.

If you make the m60 more accurate - again - you're taking away the advantage that Lewis Gun would have in being the more controllable and accurate LMG.
