Not really interest in I said you said game and I am trying to avoid them when I can
Quoting creates the impression that you are actually responding to something that was mentioned in the quoted post.
Since we agree that it is linear SVT are linear from 6 to 35 and we also agree that weapon that are good at all ranges are not good game design we can move on.
Linearity by itself is not an issue. LMGs also have a roughly linear DPS plot, and so do many other weapons. What is important is, that there is a noticable change in DPS at different ranges.
Anyway, the Vickers K does not suffer that problem. As we found out in another thread, it does not hold up to what was promised/intended. In the special weapons regiment there are not that many squads available to which it would offer a real benefit compared to the stock Bren.
I unfortunately don't think that there will be a patch fixing this. It is even more unfortunate that this happens to a faction that only has 9 commanders from the get to and is generally a bit lackluster to play.
