Why play as a big gunner?

Pistols, smgs, automatic rifles and shotguns won't have their place at all. Smg takes 2 less aps to fire than minigun and ar 1, it's all the same because minigun just rips them to shreds with first strike.
There has to be other things to be taken into account than just range. In games where machine guns exist, they are used in support. It means that they are slow to react when encountering enemy, but very effective when prepared to secure an area. Fonline doesn't have options for this kind of settings, there's no guns suitable for "support" or "assault" because they all fire instantly.

I am talking about balancing actual engine and combat system. Change the whole engine to allow a place for smgs is another discussion... Anyway, all discussion is pointless coz Solar said "we gonna balance it ny nerfing snipers as well". The only problem is they nerf things one by one, and some classes are disadventaged during the delay between the nerf. Instead they should make a big rebalance when everything is ready, but see big gunners crying is funny I guess.

You seem to forget that this is a beta test and things like that happen in beta tests.

I didn't forget, but it is obvious that when you nerf things one by one, you spend some time in meanless testing as you are testing a situation that will change by another nerf soon.

By that logic, you shouldn't play the game at all, as everything can change in one way or another. ;)

You got a point, but I still think they should have wait to have finished crit table / anti crit perks and armor before nerfing avenger ;p
