    LMG's Nerfed? Ganz ROCKS?

    Lots of complaints going around that the LMG's are totally hozzed.
    Shake, Rattle and Roll, and accuracy has gone south, even when croached and prone. Cone takes longer to tighten, and never achieves the accuracy of pre-patch 1.25.

    LMG's used to be run and gun viable, and a sniper's worse nightmare. Now it appears they are actually put in a Machine gun SUPPORT category, rather than the toe-toe winners of 1v1 vs Voss/Assault kits. Suppressive fire, area denial, ammo supplier, those are what Today's machine gunners are. Guess EA wanted the class to be more like support instead of an unlimited ammo assault pawner at all ranges.

    Ganz on the other hand seems to be almost superior choice now after 1.25 when compared to the LMGs. It seems to settle as "fast" as the LMGs so it isn't inferior on that department anymore, and it has always had alot of kick that you had to compensate for. When using a more stationary style (Croaching or Prone) it shines because:

    1. It doesn't seem to overheat so easily after shooting to the point where it gets accurate.

    2. It does more damage per bullet and has a slower rate of fire so shooting accurate bursts with it is much easier and efficient.

    3. It can get a tighter cone of fire than the LMGs.

    So Ganz was basically ignored for most people, but now it is actually superior to the LMG's when croaching or prone. Once the aiming circle tightens, short bursts (That Really hurt with those heavy bullets) will kill but not go into overheating.

    Ganz is a viable killer in TiTan due to the short ranges, and actually might be as usefull as the Shotty. You think?

    So with the LMG's nerfed, are people going to try out the GANZ, or ditch Support for other kits now?

    (Always had trouble getting resupplied on TiTan server, so is this just going to make it more difficult because people are changing kits?)

          I have mostly used the Clark for support. When I needed a mg I always chose the Ganz. Short burst at long and medium range works quite well.

            I cut my teeth on the LMG... Was very forgiving for a newby...

            I have Ganz unlocked, but have really not played it much since it got buffed a little on previous patch... Playing too much engy really.

            Having LMG nerfed seems almost blasphemy... But EA in their infinite wisdom has decided to "Fix" things..

            All guns should have deflections built in for fences. If the GANZ is able to shoot through the fences without big deviations, it will be head and shoulders over all other weapons.

              I use the Ganz and the Clark and I don't notice any diference. I still prefer the Calrk for running around the titan.

                I love the Ganz. It takes some getting use to after the other guns but once you do you'll love it...I do. I'm glad about the new change, it was unfair that the regular support guns narrowed their firing cones so much faster.

                      I'm still a LMG addict. It took a little adjust on my shooting style to adapt to the increased recoil but I've gotten used to it now. Depending on the support role I'm doing, I will use the Ganz when the situation calls for it (Titan defense) but still use the LMG mostly.

                        The LMG's have definitely lost usefulness, and the ganz is only useful in certain situations. The Support class in general will suffer because of this. Many of you uber pwners will probably run out of ammo more often now as a result. However, I'm currently working in this class for the badges it offers down the road, so if you need an ammo crate, find me.

                          You definantly have! You owned with it a few nights ago when I couldn't shoot for squat, so now I'm using the Clark & once I unlock the Ganz, the you guessed it, the Ganz!

                            For some reason, I just can't get a handle on the Clark. If you see me with one, just point and laugh... totally useless with it. I guess I just don't have that 'Dick Cheney' inspiration!

                              The Clark is best for up close and personal. Titan defense or attack are the best uses of it.
