LMGs feels soo out of place in this game

Hear me out, I'm not saying LMGs are bad, not at all, it can be a monster, what I am saying is that LMGs have no place here, in this game, it's just a more cumbersome rifle with built-in extended magazines.

Currently, I feel like the LMGs is just an inferior AR, it fills no role what so ever,

Suppression? Never heard of her. Funnily enough, from what I've experience, only if you use higher settings can you get that slight blur suppression effect, otherwise it won't matter.

"but LMGs have more amm-" drum mags. Every single AR in this game has either drum mags, or extended magazines. Hell even the better option for the M249 is getting the magazine instead of the belt.

It doesn't even feel good to use, imo, it is clunky, and not in the good way, the main issue for me is the lack of staged reload. I clearly saw my operator racking the bolt, yet here I am inserting the belt again because I accidentally interacted with something.

Now that's on the warfare front, in Operations, I feel like the only reason anyone would use LMGs is for quest lmao. It is just not a financially viable option to bring one there. I honestly don't know how to properly balance/change LMGs to be better honestly to match how AR and SMG-centric the game currently is.
