We need bipods!

[yuevolution]

I really like BAR and FG42.
Every time use them is so panic since these two gun can not valid suppress or hit the mid-long range accurately. Full size bullet rifles are simply non-sense right now.
In history both rifles have bipods, why dev can't simply add that?

Use them in semi auto and they’re incredibly accurate. Bipods are near broken right now anyways

There is no firing mode switch in this game...

[Blu]

bipod is a great choice they should add that to the weapons

Obviously. I meant don’t hold down the fire button. He said he has trouble hitting targets at range and I’m assuming because he is spraying.

Bar is fine, sometimes in hurry fight the button still too long, and I got 3 shots.
FG42 always 2 shots since it has high ROF.
Semi-auto in far distance also does not make sense for these rifles. These are actually LMG, should set up and spray in long range. Now it is more like a close combat rifles or long range SMG considering semi rifles maybe not suitable.

Dunno what you are talking about. BAR and FG42 are both incredibly good weapons. You can't lose most engagements at short to mid range with either of these guns are long as you are accurate. At medium ranges, just tap to get single shots. There is very little bullet drop on either of these guns are medium range, so you are almost guaranteed to hit your target.

I find that it's easier to single shot with the BAR because of it's low ROF, but otherwise both weapons are capable of taking out targets with 1-2 shots at short to medium range.

Bar is awful, half of the mag are "air-bullets"..
cant count how many times i even tried to single-shot somebody and still 100% hits just didnt get any hitreg at all on a freaking non-moving, standing enemy...
its like this since months and nothing has changed about it
so i dont even use the Bar anymore.. gg devs

That sounds like a netcode issue. I've had that happen on a lot of different guns in this game, depending on what server I'm playing on.

bipod on these guns in PS was amazing. You could actually use them correctly .

I suppose a fix for using bpiods in general would be better before we attach them to the often unused BAR, or the incredibly rare and niche FG42.

At least a prone fix works for all the currently available guns, as opposed to giving me 2 more guns to struggle to with their deployment.

In theory (and because of how suppression works in this game) I rather enjoy the machine guns for their utility at helping my team advance; but the issue has cropped up enough that I'm now more hesitant to deploy as MG than I suspect I would be, provided it were solved.

Yes add bipod please!

In deed, the single shot often goes to nothing, I really doubt there is a bullet or not.
Sometimes when lag is high, the animation of firing happened, but the system count as no shot, and if you hold firing longer, you get 2 inaccurate shots.
Anyway, to make them proper LMG, we need bipods for accurate consecutive long range shots.

I find the BAR the worst gun in the game - I absolutely hate it. Its not lag as I don't have issues with other guns.

[Redneck]

I would also find it good for some weapons like the BAR or the FG42, in reality you could also attach bipods to the weapons.

The idea would be good.

Video proof, look close.

What a nice gun!
I guess the dev will add it once they figured how to help Soviet. They currently have so few weapons.
