Semi-Autos need big recoil increase

They're stupid accurate and have almost no recoil. They outshoot machine guns and sniper rifles. They even outshoot assault rifles unless point blank. Why the hell full rifle caliber on such big rifles gives you no recoil what so ever? This is unrealistic, this is unbalanced, this is [removed]

They can be nerfed and still counter MMGs. It's more that at range some can actually out-snipe Recon weapons, which isn't ideal. At mid range, they're fine (apart from recoil), but they have too little damage and bullet drop, making them too accurate and too damaging at long range.
I've edited your post and removed profanity. Please refrain from using profanity/ swearing as it's against the forum rules. Also, I'd not recommend you to bump your threads so frequently.

Thanks!
They do need a little buff in some aspects, but that's not a good solution. The point is more that some of the semi-auto rifles can snipe better than the Recon weapons in some scenarios, which isn't really how they're supposed to work for the most part. That's like saying that Assault's AT capabilities are too good against tanks (which they are) and having the solution be buff tanks, which then anegatively affects the other infantry classes who have very little AT capabilities. Instead the Panzerfaust and PIAT need to be made less effective, which means that Assault will be less effective against tanks but tanks will be as effective against infantry as a whole.
Nah, that's not enough. Assault needs some drawbacks. They can do everything, and do it well. That shouldn't happen.
I agree, changes should be made. It's just that I'm doubtful of DICE's ability to get the balancing right.
True, but I think it's the mobility aspect while using an Assualt DMR that's the problem. Trying to hit those players at long range who bounce all over the place is a pain, while they land multiple headshots with ease.
Honestly, the whole movement system needs massive work.
I will say however, that Assualt ARs (and I include the M1A1 in that list as it plays like one) are perfectly balanced.
Id like to see at least a slight increase to recoil across the boards for all weapons and more so for automatic fire.
Plinking with the assault DMR's at 300m+ with a 3x scope and no glint is really easy. Doing the same with a ZH-29.. not... so... easy.
Or make suppression actually do something. If it threw off accuracy by increasing spread of blurring the targets vision it might be worth it.
