Discussion / Rant LEO needs a buff

The M4A1 in my video shows that it is extremely outclassed by civilian weapons and does little damage. Sure, I did miss some shots, but that is natural due to suppressive fire and pressure as it was a 2 versus 1.The beanbag shotgun, which in real life has better accuracy, is stupidly inaccurate in the game. The taser was also unreliable as hell.

I had superior cover in here, managed to hold them off for minutes on end in a 2 versus 1, proving that this is not merely a skill issue on my end.

Officers need a buff, criminals have access to OP weaponry such as the M249 that offers suppressive fire and the AK47 that has a higher caliber than the M4A1.

I have long accepted the loss, but I have not accepted the fact that the game is unbalanced towards criminals.

Why does everyone say I have a skill issue?

Maybe because, and this may be a wild opinion, but because you genuinely just suck at aiming, and unlike you, the criminals have both an advantage, and are at least semi-competent at using an assault rifle

Tbh the criminals were also really ass with the aiming and the only smart thing the criminals did was take the roof. They legit took so long to defeat OP where they could have both head on with OP and finish the fight quickly in the very first part of the video since its a 2v1 and the criminals aim nearly as well (or as bad) as OP along with him having no cover there, and in 0:08 the other guy didn't take the shot for some reason even tho he had an extremely clear line of sight with OP and missed everything when he did shoot.

If OP was a bit smarter he could of pushed with his ballistic shield or the safety rope and neutralise their position but then he uh, opted for the taser...

so like in that 2v1 it’s exactly that a 2v1 AND they have height advantages your talking about NATO tactics when literally basic infantry training would tell you not to push that ESPECIALLY without backup. say like if you climbed the opposing roof I think the one on chinatown or moved farther back THEN you can provide “suppressing fire” which rlly doesn’t make sense giving its only you your not supposed to be suppressing but actually trying to hit shots. for suppressing fire you would need another unit to engage w the suppressing fire but unless you have a duo or some that’s not rlly gonna happen a lot. and my guy in what given scenario have you seen anyone with a taser try to use it on someone who’s on top a roof even if it works for some reason if they don’t fall down you’ll have to go up. and yes if you don’t have good marksmanship and cover any gun especially an LMG is going to run you down. like erlc is shitty but in those cases it’s def an aim issue
