@MagnaCarge Hey, as I understand this is working as intended, since the "TTK patch" moving from hip-fire to ADS is a big no-no.

Essentially the LMGs aren't for running and gunning at anything more than extreme close range, and this change ensures that LMG users are ADS-ing first if they want to win a fight.

That said this could be a misunderstanding on my part and I'll run it by QA to be sure. 

Thank you for the post.

I found it out a day after I posted it. But at the new mechanic, I see a problem. In CC you haven't the time to think much. If an assault surprises me, I don't want to get killed because I started shooting a millisecond before I aimed. I suggest to reduce the effect a bit or the time is crucial how inaccurate the lmg gets. It's nothing what I call well balanced (or right balanced) how it is now.

Yeah it's pretty extreme as it is. Obviously a scoped LMG is suboptimal for CC, but I've been taken down a few times myself when I felt I really should have won. It's hard to feel too bad though, the Mg1917 is pretty beastly in its intended role. 

Thanks for the feedback, we'll include it in our reports (and not just because I agree with it )
