Denied Nu7 Weapon change MK8 -> M249 Para

[Explosive]

What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
Changes the Nu7 Auto rifleman's Mk8 to the M249 Para

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
- Nu7 Get a better LMG to fight off CI
- Nu7 Matches other regiments LMG Loadout [E-11,A-1,O-1 Use the Para]

Possible Negatives of the suggestion:[/B]
N/A

Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
Nu7 is currently the only MTF that uses the Mk8 as their LMG Loadout which has a low capacity of 80 where as other MTF's [E-11,A-1,O-1] Use the M249 Para i feel that Nu7 Auto Rifleman would be a better fit with a Actual High capacity LMG rather then the Mk8

-support just not needed the mk8 is just slightly worse than the m249 they're basically the same

The MK8 has outrageous stopping power due to its capabilities of almost continuous fire.
This Gun also has a 2 second reload, which in my opinion, makes it outclass the M249 in combat.

 

[Darren]

+/- neutral i think mk8 is better ngl

-support stats of the MK8 and CI's PKM are exactly the same, they are reskins of each other because nu7's primary focus is to deal with CI-
giving them a better gun would force devs to make the PKMs stats identical to the M249
besides, why would nu7 need a better gun, things are already balanced they way they are?

it makes sense for E11/O1/A1 to have an LMG like the m249 since E11 need it to kill superhuman things, and O1/A1 are basically presidential protection but nu7 are just here to ward off GOIs, their current loadout is enough

I believe the content team have previously said that they won’t be accepting any new gun changes.

I'm fairly certain this is wrong. We match the jug ak instead in term of playstyle. Pkm is more akin to m249.

PKM for me is better than m249 although slower fire rate its damage makes up for it and i get the added bonus of being able to hit more accurately without spraying 100 bullets every 2 seconds

For the rate of fire of the MK8 compared to other lmgs it isnt great, and we need a faster lmg. We need to fight in more of a long range and hilly enviroment compared to inside where its just hallways. The M249 is perfect for surface combat, against CI and surface scps where we can lay down a lot more surpressive fire quickly. Now im not saying we need it, there are other lmgs we could use that would fit our needs, like the M240B or the M60.

+support but if it cant be changed the mk8 mag size should increase to match the pkm if they are meant to be equal

 

[Nate Mercer / 'Tactician']

- Support
With the introduction of DEA having a M249 in their loadout there is already so many M249 within Foundation so giving combative roles more higher capacity weapons making it more of a pain for CI. Also the MK8 is good balance between full on light machine gun to a more heavier assault rifle. Foundation currently has 11 M249 on site so an extra 2 would already add to the absurd amount of LMGs.

I mean if they want the weapon that EVERY OTHER MTF HAS i don't see why we should stop them, Basically just bringing Nu7s job to the same point as everyone else (also Nu7 is kind of weak at the moment)

 

[Snow]

hahha funny skill issue guy cant use mk8 one of the most op weapons

-support

 

[King Kol]

+Support Let's stop Treating Nu7 trash and Give em the Loadout they need to battle AKs and FAT ass RPKs

- support, as Nu-7 MAJ, this would be straight up dumb
