SMGs are meant for close combat fighting, they should do higher damage and be more accurate in indoor missions.

Have to disagree specifically on that sentence. Giving illogical bonus to items just 'make them worthwhile' is bad. If in a game SMGs suck, then there can be three reasons:

• SMGs also suck in RL, and are thus accurately represented. As SMGs existed back then an still do, this seems unlikely. [/quote]
  
  SMGs do suck in RL. This is why they were standard issue to many troops in WW 2 era, but now are generally issued to people unlikely to fire a gun in combat...people like tank crews. SMGs still exist today, true,....but so do muskets.

  They aren't reproduced ingame correctly - speed too low, not enough impact etc.. Hard to say, as the game isn't out yet.

  They are presented correctly, but their strength that set them apart from ARs aren't. For example, SMGs are much easier to use indoors due to being smaller and having less recoil (while I'm a noob, I don't think one would choose a bulky FN-FAL over an MP5 when sweeping rooms). In that case, it should be examined wether a mechanic that considers these strengths can be implemented with justifiable effort. So if, say, bulky weapons get larger AP-to-raise-gun costs, and perhaps even need extra AP when changing looking direction while aimed, then SMGs rate higher compared to ARs in SWAT-style missions, without having to add bizarre boni.

To be clear: my trouble with your statement is not your desire to make SMGs worthwhile, but your solution.



Hmm. Extra AP cost to change looking direction while aimed/in hands. Would that be a useful addition for 1.13?
