I think the IMG 08/18 is the best LMG by far. I do find the otherss are quite situational and would swap between a few but now it's 100% IMG 08/18.

I still enjoy the MG15 N.A. Low Weight, it's good for varied distances.

[pedant]It's lMG not IMG (lowercase L)[/pedant]

(Apparently the l stands for luftgekühlt which means air cooled in german)

I kinda slept on BF1 but I picked it up last week and I've really been enjoying it, it's great fun.

I'll have to add a bunch of you on Origin and I'll join Discord for some games. Feel free to add me! My username is gpp_NG.

I think it's a good game, the problem with the base game is there is not enough maps but after I picked up premium for cheap £12 it's picked up my interest again.

Do we all agree that Caporetto is a bloody awful map?

Unless you are in strategic bomber.

The Chauchat is a monster

20 mag clip can get annoying, but wow

Not sure about that. It's hard to be on the front foot with it. It's more for prone fire.

A good gun is the MG15 storm.

Current symthic thoughts on the LMGs:

Takeaways:

Unless you are using a "CQB LMG" you will get a wall of same-ish numbers.

Longer bursts are better bursts unless you are using CQB LMGs.

Storm and Optical packages do wonders for off-bipod accuracy thanks to their hRec bonus.

I doubt Optical packages need a buff.

MG14 and lMG08/18 are solid CQB picks but are terrible everywhere else. Use the bipod.

Madsen has surprisingly good performance across multiple ranges.

M1909, Huot, and Perino are very good for 30-50m. Bipod would help but probably isn't necessary.

Chauchat and MG15 look pretty mediocre. The Lewis is very close to being mediocre too. Use the bipod.

The M1917 probably was meant to be fired from its bipod.

BAR is a solid pick across many ranges.

The Huot Optical doesn't provide a performance gain in these ranges and burst lengths. It is actually worse due to slower recovery.

It might be good for longer distances and bigger bursts but these show signs the Huot Optical really is a troll variant.

I do find it very satisfying to use, sounds "chunky" if that even makes sense :confused:

opethdisciple · 14 Mar 2018 at 15:46

I judge a guns worth on what type of k/d ratio I get with them. The more positive the better the gun.

SinaiSound · 14 Mar 2018 at 16:59

I'd been playing with assault with the MP18 to get some award things, and would get mid/mid high on the scoreboard

Went back to support with the chauchat and came top with a 2.1 K/D ratio on the first round I played........

Hey guys,

Just played my first game of BF1 on my new rig, the issue is my FPS

Im averaging around 100~ fps on 1080p at med/high settings..

Are these acceptable? I have just read but yet to try V Sync DISABLED? Does this sound right?

My specs are:

i5 7500
gtx 1070
16gb ddr4

airflow and temps of CPU / GPU are good, real good considering actually..

Cheers guys!

Monitor your CPU usage, you are likely facing same issue as me where you are hitting 100% cpu usage

Zeebedy · 15 Mar 2018 at 10:29

Yeah, its at 100% most of the time

Im guessing this is where the extra cores / threads come into there own...

Do the OcUK guys generally have a squad on every evening? My BF1 buddies have mostly binned the game off, playing solo is all well and good but the games can be a bit hit and miss if you get the 'headless chicken' brigade on your team.

There's normally 2-3 of us on a night, occasionally >10. On the unofficial OcUK Discord.

You have to play medic though, thats hazards only stipulation for joining our squads

McBain · 15 Mar 2018 at 15:34

I've been playing lots of aggressive medic recently, love the play style

I do however fall back to scout/assault if there's already a clear medic train on the go.
