Loving the M60(aka Rambo) with the Heavy Barrel here

The M60 can fo tbh....

Medics are the most powerful class in the game easily due to that gun. Huge cartridge so you barely have to reload, no real recoil, insane damage, good range. Makes engine's and assault's weapons look like piss.

Ever tried beating a squad of 4 M60 medics in conquest? Unless you hop into a tank it's not possible with a normal squad.

exactly why I play medic, big ass gun from the start. tho I find the default medic MG to be better than the 1st unlock (SAW) :/

exactly why I play medic

Indeed. To roughly quote some one I normally play with from the ut3 pick up channel "All these weapons are rubbish" <- what he said when he tried assault or something.

I mean sure if you look at fire rate and dmg per second the assaults strongest looks a bit better (due to fire rate). But assault's guns need to be fired in bursts, same with engineers, other wise the recoil will result in you hitting nothing.
So while those statistics say you'll do X amount of damage in Z amount of time the truth is you'd do a lot less due to burst-firing.
Whilst medic's guns GAIN accuracy when they're continually firing.

I make a habit of picking up kits from dead medics so I know what the M60 is like compared to what I normally have :/

* DeathByDribbling is still working out what is best

Assault guns can both be fired from the hip and have a nade launcher attached.  Hence medic guns can't equal assault ones at close range or whenever the nade launcher is a viable option.

That said I think the medic gun is the simplest to use as you just point and hold your finger down for as long as it takes.  Assault you need to aim, burst, aim, burst which is a bit trickier to do fast under fire - temptation is just to hold your finger down and burn the whole clip without killing them.  Also nade launcher is only an instant kill if you hit, if you miss you're in trouble.

or just reach for your Knife - great weapon for sneaking round the back up on bunch of folk - one at a time silent. Three dog tags at a time is my best for far
