BF2S Forums The P90 Sucks

Nobody ever said that the unlocks were necessarily better than the stock kit weapons--just something different.  The P90 is the only AT weapon with a red-dot sight, and if you like that, great.  If not, don't use it.  Yes, it does 19 damage, one less than the pistol, but so do the other SMGs--they all do the same damage.  The P90 holds more bullets than the rest (50 vs. 45 for PP-19 and 30 for the other two) and has that nice sight picture, so if you like SMGs, you'll get a lot of use out of it.  Otherwise, don't bother.

Personally I prefer my SMGs as they have more flexibility than the DAO-12, but to each his own, right?

it just needs less bullets in 1 mag and more mags to reload (same goes for the MP7)

I havent unlocked the P90.. hell, not even the DAO, but if its as bad as you say, then it honestly hasnt been modelled anything like its real life counterpart :S

i find the p90 not that bad

If u aim at the enemy's upper torso and the head you sure kill him quikere then he does u

i love it in open maps

It all depends on the situation you use it in. If you're in close-quarters combat of course the DAO-12 would be a better option, but try even hitting an enemy at long-mid range with a DAO. Dosn't work.
Applied to Sniper rifles too. If you're getting wave after wave of enemy soldier at your position, a Semi-Auto is best, but if you stake out targets a bolt action would be a better option.

Also, (going back to the AT guns,) if you're anti-shotguns like me, it's nice to have the option of a decent sub machinegun as well, (the chinese one especially sucks.)

P90 just looks cool... On a noob server I will play around with it, but when the shots srart counting I will use my trusty DAO.

The DAO will shock the enemy so much they forget to fire at you...

Submachine Guns suck in this game... just staying consistant with that I guess.

The rate of fire of the P90 is much faster than you'd think, this is because the firing sound is NOT in synch with the actual shooting. Roughy every time you hear a *bang*, TWO bullets actually leave your barrel. This insane rate of fire is the key feature of the P90. In close/medium range you'll annihilate a lot of people.
It still sucks compared to assault rifles and the such, but it blows the other SMG's away. It's a good alternative to the DOA-12.

A-MEN to that, though in my opinion, they didn't model most guns after their real life counterparts. A good example being the M95. I'm pretty sure a .50 calibur round hitting you anywhere in your body is gonna kill you, I don't care how much body armor you're wearing. And as for the P90, it's actually not a bad unlock. As has been said before, it's great for medium range combat and I've even been known to get in kills at long range with it. It seems almost too slow firing, though, for 900 RPM.

I have to disagree about the P90 sucking.The DAO is cool and all but it has no range.If you shoot in burst the P90 is a great medium range weapon.It has a nice scope wich is good for me considering my accuracy is terrible.

i find the  PLA AT's SMG the best.

Sorry man, P90 rocks. If you use it in short bursts for medium range and go full auto on close quarters, it rocks almost as the PP-19. I love its rate of fire.
