Consistently the one thing that my squad notices is at close ranges, like inside a single room or trench, we get out gunned by AR's and LMG's. If SMG's cannot perform in the exact situations they are made for then they need to be tweaked. I know there is an update coming soon which promises weapon balancing, also TTK changes that may have a desired effect, but imo SMG's across the board NEED a buff. Without having to drastically nerf or change the other weapon classes I believe one singular change to the SMG's would be beneficial vidmate mobdro word counter
to the entire issgun meta, as right now it's fully AR and MG heavy: Make all base SMG stats act similar to the M1907 SF from the Assault class. Due to its high damage and small mag size it's perfect for winning close range encounters, but it's high recoil and damage drop off really limits it's range which in turn makes it a very balanced and appropriate gun.
