BF2S Forums what's with the ak-101?

The AKs are very Counter-Strike, yes. I think you've been headshoted, and you're dead before you hear anything. And yes, BF2 is buged. It can be a combination of player-server-you lagg too, not sure.

I kill people.

I actually hate the AK because it's so inaccurate for medium range fire fights. At least I find it to be. M16 > AK.

this is nothing new. it's been this way with this gun since the game came out.

It's very strong (37 damage or something) and is accurate enough for close range fighting. Damage matters when you're not fighting people with full heal.

AK47 owns the AK101.

True dat.

I know that gun is accurate at close range but i agree with him i have had similar problem and that's even with people at far range you say this gun is bad at far range i disagree i have had people shoot me from like over 70 meters and kill me one shot i think it's just bug when they fixed the accuracy on some guns it messed that one up.

I'm the AK-101 god. I love that gun.

Your stats happen to disagree:

Assault Rifles 37:23:41 2,512 2,703 0.9293 16.96%

Go and watch 'Duck and Cover'. You'll see just how accurate it can be when unscoped. Since I saw that vid, everytime I'm chinese I go with the AK for cqc.

It's shite for medium to long shots though.

maybe his acc is so low because he doesnt scope his AK, like in "Duck and Cover"

Maybe he doesn't have an at least 1 KDR ratio unlik e 'Duck and Cover'?

And don't bother quoting my Assault Rifle stats at me, it wasn't ME who claimed I was the 'AK101 God'

In my opinion, AK-101 > AK-47 > AK-74U (not that you could use that as a Medic anyway, just thought I'd add it in with the other AKs).

As someone pointed out above, the damage differential between the '101 and the '47 is just 1 point, but in exchange you sacrifice quite a bit of accuracy. (Yes, I am aware that the '101 isn't exactly a sniper rifle either...but try using the '47 for a bit and you'll feel its inaccuracy.)

And as for why you'd want to use the AK-101 over, say, the L85A1 (which has better zoom, if equally bad accuracy) or the G36E (which has tighter groups), let's use a little math (GASP, I said the dreaded "M" word in a forum about a game, but bear with me here).

AK-101 = 37 damage per hit (~26 damage per hit against an armored kit)
L85A1 = 34 damage per hit (~24 damage per hit against an armored kit)
G36E = 32 damage per hit (~23 damage per hit against an armored kit)

Basic addition tells us 3 hits from both an AK and the L85 will kill an unarmored soldier.  (It's 4 for the G36E.) But let's say you got unlucky and only managed 2 hits.  This gives us 74 damage with the AK, but only 68 with the L85.  That means you'll still get the kill if your target took 26 damage using the AK, or 32 damage with the L85.  That doesn't sound like much but lots of guns fall right in between that 26-32 damage gap--for instance, a SCAR-L (27), an M16A2 (30), even the dreaded AK-74U (29) that would screw you out of the kill if you had the L85 instead.

Also against armored targets, the AK drops 'em after 4 hits.  Not so with the L85 or G36E.

Sorry (I know this info is readily available in the wiki, but just thought I'd clear some things up here).  What's all this mean?  Well, BF2's guns are pretty well balanced.  Even if you flop into prone with an AK-101, the accuracy is balanced out so that, on average, you'll get 3 hits in the time it takes your enemy (with a G36E) to hit you 4 times--in other words, given equal skill, both players will die at the same time.

Have a nice day!
