SKS, because it's basically an AR. With ironsights you will probably have to spam a little, because it's harder to aim, and the 20 shots you get from the SKS are just awesome for that.

And if you use holo/rds or *3.4 scopes? Still SKS?

Dunno, hated using the ironsights on the m39 so much I quit using the gun after getting 5 kills with it. ^^
Just got my copy from amazon today. Installed from the disk. It started downloading a 4.5GB update, which seemed reasonable. That finished and now its started an 11GB update. The fuck is that about?

let it run. origin doesnt show a different message when reading from a disc, youll just "download" really fast ~~

Its not though. Its actually downloading. Ive already done the install from disk bit that went really fast, this is going download speed and i can see it in my network usage.
That video is fucking ridiculous, and a perfect example of what is so wrong with the game now. How the fuck is it even supposed to be possible for a shot to miss at that range.
SKS is awesome, but dont use a scope on it, put a holosight on, you will have no problems engaging up to 150 meters , which is the SKS effective range anyway. Its essentially a semiautomatic high damage assault rifle , and should be threated as such. I recommend using the flash suppressor , which reduces recoil without negative side effects (and kind of turns this gun into a laserlike cod weapon) and a bipod. you wont use the bipod much since this setup encourages a kind of mid range run and gun playstyle, but its nice to have. never put a foregrip on. it reduces aimed accuracy , and thats the last thing you want. recoil is already low enough with the flash suppressor.
i just had a round where i was kicking it up doing everything.
on a 32man server, after a long break, i recently came back to BF3 and this is like my 4th game after a long break. I captured points,pushed objectives, backraged, rezzed fallen people, even took it on myself to get in a LAV because my team just wont drive one. i PTFO and man i was owning it up. maybe its because this server lacks experienced people but i pretty much ran the enemy ragged by myself, doing everything.
/endbrag
reminds me of how much fun BF3 is when people actually play the objective!

Yeah youre right about that. After i read your post i tryed it out with flash supressor and iron sights. This was my first full match with it: http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf3/battlereport/show/29634623/1/349104818/ . Im still a bit inaccurate but that will change once i unlock the Kobra. I cant wait to try out the heavy barrel on it, heavy barrel with foregrip could be a nice combination on this rifle.

No do not do that. SKS has innately high accuracy as its a semi-auto SNIPER RIFLE. do not ever put foregrip on that gun, which reduces ur accuracy at range. anything that reduces accuracy is a no.
as for heavy barrel, well it does increase range before drop off, worth a try. however it increases vertical recoil. Personally i will stick with flash suppressor(reduces vertical recoil). HB vs Flash Suppressor...well its to your liking i guess just NO to foregrip
Wait, foregrip reduces accuracy? Why do I put it on every gun then? O_o *mindblown* And I'm pretty sure Flash Suppressor has negative sideffects... doesn't it?

They changed how the attachments work in the last big patch.
Foregrip reduces horizontal recoil, but decreases aimed accuracy. Before, it only reduced the recoil and was a no-brainer on basically every gun. Flash Suppressor reduces vertical recoil and gives a bonus to aimed accuracy, where before the patch it just decreased accuracy. You now also get a small penalty to hip firing.

Thanks for the info. Thougt for a second there that I've been doing it wrong for a long time. :D Well, then Flash Suppressor is pretty much a no-brainer on a weapon like the SKS, right?

Why would they change mechanics like this 6 months after release? Seems pretty shitty to the casual players.
Because th foregrip was to good and none of the other attechments were ever used. now its more balanced, the foregrip still makes sense on some weapons like the AEK and the m16

Flash Suppressor transforms the SKS from "OK" to "Godlike", since you have pinpoint accuracy while strafing and can empty the whole clip at once and still be pretty accurate with the last shot.
holy crap so after reading I went and played my first game in a month. Went 70-34 with the SKS, flash suppressor, and iron sights, WITH IRON SIGHTS OMG!! Oh man. And i mean I sucked. My aim was terrible, you know what it is like, getting used to a new gun, and having not played in a month or so. Oh man. OP
EPT![[image loading]](http://oi39.tinypic.com/i6fl1u.jpg)
just NO to foregrip
