The Spitfire needs a nerf

[Rageborns_Fury]

@Az-Laar-yagami I wouldn't say that the Spitfire needs a DPS buff.

It takes 6.06 seconds to empty a clip of 55 bullets.
If all of these hits are bodyshots, that is 1045 damage.
This means you have a 174.16 damage per second.

If all of those hits were headshots, it would be 2090 damage.
This would mean that it would have 348.33 damage per second.

Naturally one would not hit 55 headshots in a row unless he was cheating. But say 50% are headshots if you get lucky.
That would amount to 1567.5 damage which yields 261,25 damage per second.

This is, if my math checks out, plenty of DPS.
Sure, it's slower than a real life M249, but a lot more accurate.

spitfire is fine as it is.

it shines at midrange and provides constant suppression fire.

players have to respect it.

(which should be the case for every weapon in specific situations)

while having relatively low DPS compared to every AR, SMG and shotguns.

so in close combat it loses against a lot of weapons. not just in terms of dps, but also in terms of ADS movementspeed and reload-time.

yes, the very fast reload time of the other weapons is important to mention, because you can outplay the spitfire.

engage near a wall or obstacle, lose your mag, get to cover, fast reload, repeat.

that is how you outplay that gun. it is a skill to know when and how to engage players and certai weapons,

its not just aim and movement.

the problem is not the spitfire. the problem is teams of 3 players all wielding a r99 + shotgun and having literally no answer to the spitfire,

whilche charging in blindly.

@Midnight9746 Well the tripple take is literally a guaranteed hit and with the gun already having the choke on it making the three bullets hit doing quite some damage.

[zombieshoota5000]

@TheApexLegendNub R-301 actually takes skill. It's fast fire rate and not as much damage as the spitfire does it's literally nothing like the spitfire.

[zombieshoota5000]

@PraetorOfOlea The spitfire is nothing close to fine. Bring your whole team to a solo player with a spitfire and when you all die just to one clip lets see how "fine" that it.

[PraetorOfOlea]

@zombieshoota5000 That's because they are bad. You can beat a spitfire. It's not that hard.

[Zamaha400]

@zombieshoota5000 Nah the R301 is a pretty low skill gun and any team that gets 1 clipped by a spitfire is just trash.

Nerfing the spitfire is fine but let's not spread lies now.

[zombieshoota5000]

@PraetorOfOleaYou can. Key word "can". Which usually doesn't work out. After the damage nerf it seems to actually be fine now. But before that it was hard. You would literally get destroyed with the high damage and if you got a few head shots it would be over in not even a second.

[zombieshoota5000]

@Zamaha400 There's no lies. R-301 literally takes some skill unlike the spitfire. It's not low skilled it literally has a low damage compared to other guns. Fire rate is also kinda faster than most guns too meaning you actually will have to hit your shots otherwise looking away for not even a second will miss some bullets ending in not getting them downed or killed.

@YourD3ntis7 Totally agree with you
