This was the WORST update EVER. You have rendered SMG's and LMG's abolutely useless. I tried to kill someone with the thompson at 2 meters and I couldn't hit him. I am not a noob with 2 hours of gameplay, I have been playing this game since it was released on steam and now I see it being ruined. Now I am compelled to play with a scoped garand or m1903. Now only snipers are comfortable and I will join them. I have played a single battle and I already want to leave this game. Enjoy your ruined game yourselves. Congratulations

[soothe]

If you aim with the SMG then nothing has changed.
If you hip-fire at close range bullets will hit close to cross hair.

Only "worse" thing for SMGs is damage at range which is a much requested change by a large majority (along side the tweaks to the SA-rifles)

What about an American soldier? Any upgrade

[Twister 57]

My only concern so far is the busher forest is a very dark default screen . Be nice to see it lightened up a bit so you can see where you are going .
