John Steele I absolutely love the perino,i have that same gun/skin setup on mine as in thumbnail.27 stars on mine,id have even more but i occasionally still use the mg15.
The storm is the weapons I got the most kills without (I spent the whole summer with it, good times), but then I realized it's just not worth it. In short: bipod > foregrip
Andrea Musso Thats great! Hey whats your opinion on the Mg08/18 coming in Apocalypse? I think that the mg08/18 might be the new dominator. It is already one of my favorite, if not my favorite.
I kicked ass with that gun even though I suck at BF1 on console (I'm not good at FPS games on console, but I'm pretty good on PC because the control is 100x easier for me)
The BAR is so good and versatile, but it lacks accuracy. The Parabellum is the best in the hands of someone who can handle the kick and accuracy at range. The Chauchat is amazing as well. I love all LMGs.
I voted for the Chauchat, but I hope the M1917 Browning also ranks high. The new Mg08/18 coming in Apocalypse is also really, really bloody good and should be treated seriously
Daniel Muñoz I think it is better than the Parabellum. It may have less rapid fire, but the Parabellum lacks finesse. The Parabellum is very, very inaccurate, where the mg08/18 is quite the opposite. It may not be as accurate as the Huot, but remember that the Mg08/18 still has serious killing capabilities. Also, the Mg08/18 overheats not quite as fast as the Parabellum. The Parabellum might have the edge in fire rate, but the Mg08/18 is just more practical, due to the Parabellum's extreme recoil. The Parabellum is very reliant on it's bipod, which will make you an obvious target for snipers. The mg08/18 can fire cleanly and effectively without the bipod. Overall, I think the Mg08/18 bests the Parabellum, but there is another Lmg in mind that the mg08/18 will rival: the BAR. They have the same fire rate, same damage and similar recoil values, but the Mg08/18 has a much bigger ammo capacity. And of course, the Mg08/18 has a bipod on both variants, whereas the BAR has a bipod only on the Telescopic variant
My favorite LMG is actually the BAR M1918 Storm. Especially after the weapons balance patch. I still respect the community's decision of putting it in second place because the Parabellum is also a very powerful weapon with a high rate of fire. The only reason it's not my favorite is because of its high recoil. The bipod helps a lot though. For the marksman poll I voted the SMLE MKIII, and I won't be surprised if it wins. So far it's at 46%
That's what I'm telling everybody. The Parabellum is the best weapon, but it's actually hard to use, unlike Hellriegel. The BAR is the best LMG for versatility.
Guys I'm new to battlefield 1 is there any suggestions for the support class and recon I hadnt play bf1 since I just switch from cod ww2 . Dont grt me wrong I like ww2 cod haha But again im new to a ww1 setting for battlefield I previously has experience for bf4 and hardline but for bf1 idk whst to expect . I personally likes the Lewis . But I'm a skills sniper in cod ww2 so what can I expect for the recon class?
The chenchant used to be my go to weapon till I tried the 14/17, that gun takes alot to get used to but it's well worth it's, I play right up front and mow ppl down non stop. That gun is OP imo. My second fav is the Benicio telescopic, max zoom , go prone, use single shots....That thing is a LMG sniper rifle, I counter snipe with that gun and ppl get angry lol
the browning low weight with no hud is amazing. something about not getting distracted by the hid and just focusing on targets makes being a support so amazing
The Parabellum WAS my favorite until the MG1917 came out. You can fire that thing for days and feels the most accurate of all the MGs. I play support class 90% of the time when I play BF1. I'm really surprised the 1917 came in third, I would have thought it would be 1st or AT LEAST 2nd.
*EASTER EGG* around all maps in the apocalypse dlc, there is hidden wine bottles that you can pick up. On the river Somme map, it is behind crates in the windmill at B flag, on caporetto, it is down near B flag in a record player that you can active and pick up the bottle. I’m not sure about the other maps but it is a cool Easter egg to try out.
It takes a little bit of time getting used to I use it in certain situation mostly trench warfare other than that I'll switch to the Browning or I've gone back to the chauchot
Not surprised by the list, though I dont 100% agree with it. Browning 1917 deserves to be on the list for obvious reasons, massive amounts of ammunition, low recoil, highly controllable, etc. ROF is low but if used like an LMG was intended to be used by sitting on the bi-pod providing suppressing fire or covering fire, etc it works wonderfully at that role. With the TTK patch it's slightly more powerful but I dont really notice a huge difference. The BAR... Where do I start? Pre-TTK I understand why people love it. But the Madsen was a better gun in pretty much every respect. Same damage model, lower recoil, bi-pod on the low weight, the trench model had a tighter spread, the storm model had less recoil as a whole, but more importantly... 10 more bullets per magazine. Just plain better in every way. A second great competitive option would be the Chauchat, same 20 rounds FAR more accurate when standing or on a bi-pod, while it may have the slowest ROF as an LMG, it's raw damage easily makes up for it and have taken apart MANY LMG and SMG users at close range with hip fire as it's got a super low spread. Lastly the Parabellum... pre TTK it was ok, only because of it's ROF. Had a decent hip fire and so on... I used it today post TTK because I had a medal assignment that called for it's use. The damage buff IS appreciated, but the additional recoil on a gun that already had pretty piss poor recoil doesnt help. Now, it's still amazing for taking out planes, and on maps like Zeebrugge it's great for boat sniping with the Suppressive variant. However... pretty much every other machine gun is better for accuracy, recoil control, and general use with few exceptions. The Parabellum can do ok in CQB with hip fire, but not as good as SEVERAL other LMG's, the damage is nice but it's matched by several other more accurate guns, and the ammo capacity is on par with a few other guns. So really all it has going in it's favor is ROF. But due to hefty recoil, the Lewis Gun Suppressive makes for a far better LMG, and while lacking on total round count the Benet-Mercie easily destroys it on accuracy especially with the tri-pod model with the optic, THAT is a laser beam for accuracy. So what would I rank and where? #3, Browning 1917, #2 Madsen, #1 Lewis Gun.
Parabellum = WW1 MG42 But don't let its fire rate fool you. It's a skill cannon. You better be able to control the recoil if you are going to hit targets behind cover or at range. Took me a while to get used to it and I love it. BAR is the best weapon for versatility. MG14/17 Parabellum is the best LMG if you are good with it.
The BAR (Browning Automatic Rifle) is much more like an LMG than you think. I have personally fired one. Very carefully, I might add. I was allowed to fire a gun that belongs to my good friends father. He collects classic and iconic guns. I was immediately surprised how heavy the gun is. I have fired many Assault Rifles even earlier models like the STG 44. That gun is about 33% lighter than the BAR and it definitely makes it feel and shoot much more like an Assault Rifle. Something more agile and that you could use in both close range and medium range engagements with ease. However, the BAR I fired was much more stable at long ranges. Mainly, I think, due to the extra heft. It seemed to really stabilize the gun, not allowing it to move much under fire. I also might add that the owner has talked to many historical gun experts and they are said to classify the gun as an LMG. Having said that, they did say it was a gun that was ahead of its time, and was clearly bridging the gap between a gun class that had not yet been established. Assault Rifles. So it shares many things with both an LMG and an Assault Rifle, but was designed and marketed as an LMG.
By the way, great video! Really enjoyed it. I still play BF1 a ton even though BF-V is out very soon. I still get a great deal of joy out of this game. So thanks for the video even if I am seeing it very late. But I am subscribed now!
Hout is good for the newbie type players in my opinion. Trust me, I play support and I love the Hout, because it's laser accurate and easy to control, but it's inferior in regards to its fire rate. Parabellum is a skill cannon and is honestly the best gun if you know how to use it.
The m1917 browning is my favorite lmg - 250 bullets in a mag - looks cool - bicycle reload/overheat sound (hehe) - good for suppressing enemies - great for dealing with cavalry Those are my reasons I like and main it
I don't agree with you about the BAR. I have 100SS on this weapon, that's been a long my favorite choice. And it's not to be used in short bursts. All 20 bullets should be fired in one burst bc by the time you get to your 5th-10th shot the weapon reaches its maximum precision and lowest recoil (remember how the lmgs work in this game?). By doing this I can shoot down the targets usually shot down by sniper rifles at extreme distances.
Browning low weight is so good. You don't need telescopic. Just get the anti aircraft sights, set up the bipod, and snipe across the map. The recoil is so low, the bipod makes it so you can even fire full auto while sniping.
2:12 "The Need to reload this thing is almost reduced to zero" ME: Oh look i just killed 2 guys and i still have 157 bullets in the magazine, better reload before i run out of ammo. Also, Yeee My Favorite Weapon Won :D
My top 3 1.) Madsen Storm- Best MG that nobody uses because of annoying clip. Very balanced. high dps, accurate and can kill 3 before reloading Consistently. 2.) Bar Storm- great in 1v1 situations and competes against assaults high dps. Can kill 2 before reloading consistently. 3.) Lewis low weight- lazer accurate but low dps. Can kill 4 before reloading consistently.
Sad how little love the other LMGs got. They're all fun but everybody just wants to use the BAR and Parabellum cuz they shoot fast. I don't blame them honestly, but damn. When I first unlocked the Huot I had so much fun with it that I used it for like 20 rounds straight! That gun has always been a sleeper.
Am I the only one who prefers to set up a MG nest in one particular central point (conquest) and hold it from the enemy the whole round to keep that point under our control? It's very satisfying in maps like St Quentin or Amien to find a good window, throw down a crate, and pick off all the guys running in below knowing you're both keeping points coming into your team and racking up a lot of kills. Especially with the M1917 or the MG15
Hey, my 3 favorite support weapons are also the top 3 among the community (BTW, the M1917 is my favorite right now, too). I also thing that it's interesting that the top 3 list features 2 weapons designed by John Moses Browning (some of whose inventions still see frontline service today, almost or over 100 years after they entered service, such as the M2 & M1911 pistol). This just goes to help illustrate that man's genius when it came to designing guns.
Support should get a tripod gadget that they can throw down and mount there machine gun on and get even further reduced recoil and increased accuracy as compared to a bipod
Depends on the map (range and damage drop-off), individual skill, and even whether you're playing on PC or console imo. On PC, the lowest recoil weapons typically put you at a disadvantage. The additional ease of use is negligible to anyone who knows how to compensate for recoil (basically every competent player), but the longer TTK that often accompanies low recoil can be devastating in a gunfight. I've had the most success alternating between the IMG 08/18, the Madsen, and Chauchat. The Madsen is a great mobile assault weapon, the Chauchat allows you to rival medics/scouts, and the IMG is just a beast with no discernible weaknesses. The MG1917 is saved by its absurd magazine size, but guns like the Huot and Perino are essentially garbage. MG15, Mercie, and Lewis are well rounded, but don't really excel at anything. Parabellum and Burton absolutely shred everything, but one is uncontrollable at mid range while the other only holds 20 rounds. The BAR is basically an IMG 08 with 1/5 of the mag and no mid range capabilities.
I feel the browning 1917 and bar are like tied for first. You can run and gun with the 1917, but it works better playing defense and hanging back a little. The bar is amazing for run and gun. Only 2 I use.
I think the suppresive? variant of the BAR is the best. I once killed someone on Quentin scar from flag f to flag b. I sat it up in the windmill and fired 6 rounds and killed him. Very satisfying
its the plane kills right? i got em in 5 rounds. sure its mainly luck but you dedicate 5 days tops to playing conquest and sitting near a friendly AA canon and youll get the last hit eventually. its really not that bad
It’s super luck based. Both times was when I saw a plane on the edge of exploding due to AA gunfire, so I just fired at it and stole the kill. Super luck based and didn’t feel legitimate at all.
I got my plane kills on my first round when In The Name Of The Tsar came out lol. It's not that hard if you put the time into it. People are to impatient and that's why they don't have it. Plus it's the best gun if you know how to use the skill cannon. Best guns should be rewarded through hard assignments and I'm glad not everyone is running around with it like something like a Hellriegel which is the opposite of a skill cannon and easy to get.
The only thing the hout is good for now is noobs because it has a easy to control recoil and accuracy. It has an inferior fire rate. The Parabellum is the best in the hands of a good player because it can out kill anyone if you got the skills to manage the recoil.
Lejend Dairy Why would the Huot be for noobs? I would rather say the Parabellum is for noobs with that high fire rate, it's harder to control without bipod down but not in close range anyways.
Hemi Dude Because you have to know how to aim with the Parabellum. It has a hard fire rate but it kicks like a mule and LMGs are meant for more medium range, which is what I'm talking about. The Hout has no recoil and good accuracy, but an inferior fire rate. Meaning it's more noob friendly because you can pick it up and it's easy to use.
In my play style for medium to long range, I use the perino and for up close to medium is LMG 08. I never use bipods though. Prone = death for me. I try to keep moving and use cover. I don't go against walls because explosives.
PauliusP33 I personally never had a feel for the SMLE for all 3 variants, its a good weapon, I just can't get a feel for it. I definetely prefer the "Garbage rod" (mosin nagant) or the G95. And the upcoming Ross rifle looks very good too
i use rifles based on sweet spots. for the zoom level that marksman scopes gives us, the smle is optimal. mosin nagant is usable but a bit too long range, only use it instead of the russian lever action because of no scope glare. g95 doesnt have a sweet spot and thus is the best all around rifle in hardcore mode. and g98 and springfield makrsmen are far too long range. at least for my 22" monitor
I thought that the MG15 was a very versatile LMG pre-patch. I could easily switch between sorta running and gunning and then placing down the bipod and mowing people down at long range. I like the Parabellum, but it’s a gun suited for mainly two scenarios: long range with a bipod, and up close hip firing.
I think there is a lot of people that haven't found out how good the Huot has gotten after TTK 2.0. It's a very very good gun now. It's not a BAR, but other than that it's crazy now. Try it!
Passchendaele is a proper WWI Battlefield map. That’s what I expected to see when BF1 launched. Looking forward to the three infantry maps in the Apocalypse DLC.
My first time using the Browning 1917 was devastating to my enemies, it's like they expect you to have to reload, and they run into my hail of lead and die. The BAR is my nemesis, still getting used to its ridiculous recoil. By the time I get it under control, time to reload. Will try the 1914 as soon as I can.
So I have my own personal goal to get at least 1 service Star for each weapon in the game. When I got to the parabellum I found it very frustrating. Even with the bipod deployed the suppressive variant kicks like a mule. On a side note I think the 75% reduction in suppression while bipoded is a useless specialization. I could be spraying bullets down range and as soon as one bullet flies past me, my guy looses all control.
Worthy winner in the Parabellum. The MG15 suppressive was always my favourite until I got hold of the Parabellum suppressive, I just love using this weapon. Go prone with 2.5x scope - so much fun 😁
The new TTK has all LMG's take about 6 rounds to kill at close range max, so, in conjunction, I took the fasting firing gun I could find, it happened to be in first on this list, it overheats fast and ADSing is a no-go unless you have the bipod, however, since I'll be close range, low weight-hipfire, my gosh how fast that thing shreds people becuase it fires like a dang automatico.
MG15 n.A. Suppressive is really the best gun and best choice for support when u give supressive fire and keeping little distance to enemy. not lot of players use this weapon but you should try.. its a true beast.
I have 15,000 kills combined between the MG15 Storm and Low Weight so that will always be my favorite but my top three would be 1. MG15 2. Parabellum 3. BAR
Suprised the Lewis Suppressive didn't get more votes. Lots of ammo and the sight can make you very accurate at longer ranges with a solid rate of fire.
On Console: 1) MG15 Suppressive 2) m1917 mg 3) Bar Parabellum is really hard to use on console imo, it's still good but doesn't suit my play style that well.
I totally dominated with the Parabellum MG 14 suppressive even in close quarter action, but after the patch the aiming down the sight is too low for a ninja suppressive player like me.The bar is gonna be the new automatico for the support class!
Wait, hold your horses. The BAR IS a LMG. The first assault rifle was the StG44/MP44. The BAR may be called an automatic rifle, but it was and still is classified by the US army as a LMG.
should I aim down sights with the bar trench? I am asking becuase you mentioned the patch and the bullet spread. I really like the bar but Im not sure about how it preforms with the patch. Keep on making your videos love your vids
I'm not gonna lie, the apocalypse dlc doesn't look to exiting. With the French dlc we got a new elite class and two new tanks. With the Russian dlc we got snowy environments, awesome weapons, a giant plane, and 8 new maps. And I think turning tides is pretty self explanatory. The apocalypse dlc looks like a few basic maps, some weird melee weapons and a couple guns. I mean, I guess they're bringing back air superiority but it just doesn't compare to everything else. Hopefully they add a bunch to it before release.
honestly i think the lmg 08/18 is better than the parabellum because the skins are more detailed and sinister and the gun has less recoil and feels like it packs a much greater punch. i once went 26-0 with the 08/18
bro I need the setting for support machine gun . Lmg Is Great But Cannot Focus aiming at the Targets .Bullets go Above And Right And Down !! As if the weapon out of control !! Any Advic ????
i'm loving the mg1917 when i want to be a midrange suppression beast, you can't beat all thoes rounds. When i feel like getting up close im loving the huot, with this ttk patch it is amazing.
I think for future polls you should have a tier system for voting as, I do believe as many others do that the SMLE is the top gun, but that means I had no other input on how the rest of the ratings are done. I think for the next poll that the Mosin-Nagant should be 2nd however because I only have 1 vote I couldn't help boost the Mosin to get the recognition it deserves.
Earlier today I was ripping up my enemies at the fort with the MG 15.I also still have good luck with the BAR telescopic.And this is using a controller on pc.
„You should take down 2 enemies per magazine“ - takes down 4 enemies per magazine - 6:39
Best weapons: Pistols?
Acutally no, no need that video. Because we know which is the best....Kollibri of course
mark. Question yesssss!!!!
mark. Question nerf it
The Kolibri is arguably the Best Addition to the Battlefield Franchise, maybe ever.
Shoulda nerfed it in the weapon balance patch
Love the kolibri
Perino is my personal favorite. Nobody uses it though.
John Steele perino is good imo but I really can’t stand the bar that covers 1/3 of your screens when you ADS>
John Steele the Perino is one of my favorites. In my opinion it is one of the best all around lmgs to use.
John Steele I absolutely love the perino,i have that same gun/skin setup on mine as in thumbnail.27 stars on mine,id have even more but i occasionally still use the mg15.
I do
Lucas use the aa sights
50% of the time i go prone as support i get sniped immediately
I snipe often and by far, Support class is easiest to hit because you guys try to use your bipod so often.
this happens because your going prone in areas were your vulnerable to snipers
You gotta be sneaky
The Proning Pansie
You just made yourself an easier target
My favourite will always be the MG15 low weight
EDIT: and suppressive, too
Andrea Musso I like the storm variant but yea it's a great weapon
The storm is the weapons I got the most kills without (I spent the whole summer with it, good times), but then I realized it's just not worth it. In short: bipod > foregrip
The Mg15 is an effective weapon, but I find the weapon very... generic and bland compared to the other LMG'S, I don't think it is anything special.
To me it's quite the opposite: I like it because it's the only one, along with the Parabellum, that feels like a real LMG
Andrea Musso Thats great!
Hey whats your opinion on the Mg08/18 coming in Apocalypse? I think that the mg08/18 might be the new dominator. It is already one of my favorite, if not my favorite.
madsen low weight is so good now. better than BAR because of lower recoil and bipod
The madsen is a is a good gun but has a ridiculous mag that obstructs the screen.
Lejend Dairy yeah that's a big downside
Lots of visual recoil on it
It’s a great gun, I prefer the storm variant
I kicked ass with that gun even though I suck at BF1 on console (I'm not good at FPS games on console, but I'm pretty good on PC because the control is 100x easier for me)
To all of you who voted for de Benet Mercie,
I am whit you guys
I love that gun but the Chauchat had me more at that point
Telescopic is fun to use. I haven't yet tried it with the buff, but I loved taking out snipers.
Jesús Ma. Pompa it's a decent lmg but the ttk is not the best
10k+ kills with the optical version...I'm with you. ;)
Jesús Ma. Pompa op
The perino with its High accuracy is my favorite!!
I love the Parino. That's such a good gun to use on conquest for getting kills over kills over kills over kills non stop.
123bigred exactly right? In my opinion the Perino is the BEST lmg in game by far
Kills too slow thats why its didnt win
Mg 1917 is the best
Are we redoing the series? The TTK patch has been released so it would make sense.
here's my top 3:
3. Bar
2. Chauchat
1. Parabellum
Rook Mine Boi My top 3:
3. M1917 Browning MG
2. Chauchat
1. Mg08/18 ( Apocalypse)
The BAR is so good and versatile, but it lacks accuracy. The Parabellum is the best in the hands of someone who can handle the kick and accuracy at range. The Chauchat is amazing as well. I love all LMGs.
Lejend Dairy What's your opinion on the new Mg08/18 coming in Apocalypse?
My top 3
1:chauchat
2:m1917 browning mg
3:parrabellum
Browning
chauchat
Parabellum
I have a feeling the new Apocalypse LMG will soon make this list obsolete lol
I used it and it out powers most smgs
Don’t doubt it. That way people will by DLC’s .
What is the name of the lmg
jamesb8488 agreed
*Laughs in lmg 08/18
I voted for the Chauchat, but I hope the M1917 Browning also ranks high. The new Mg08/18 coming in Apocalypse is also really, really bloody good and should be treated seriously
Daniel Muñoz I think it is better than the Parabellum. It may have less rapid fire, but the Parabellum lacks finesse. The Parabellum is very, very inaccurate, where the mg08/18 is quite the opposite. It may not be as accurate as the Huot, but remember that the Mg08/18 still has serious killing capabilities. Also, the Mg08/18 overheats not quite as fast as the Parabellum.

And of course, the Mg08/18 has a bipod on both variants, whereas the BAR has a bipod only on the Telescopic variant
The parabellum isnt even used as much as i hear at least on ps4 its basically cq only though so its prpbably cause i play conquest
they need to make a storm varient for the mg08/18
My favorite LMG is actually the BAR M1918 Storm. Especially after the weapons balance patch.
I still respect the community's decision of putting it in second place because the Parabellum is also a very powerful weapon with a high rate of fire. The only reason it's not my favorite is because of its high recoil. The bipod helps a lot though.
For the marksman poll I voted the SMLE MKIII, and I won't be surprised if it wins. So far it's at 46%
That's what I'm telling everybody. The Parabellum is the best weapon, but it's actually hard to use, unlike Hellriegel. The BAR is the best LMG for versatility.
Guys I'm new to battlefield 1 is there any suggestions for the support class and recon I hadnt play bf1 since I just switch from cod ww2 .
Dont grt me wrong I like ww2 cod haha
But again im new to a ww1 setting for battlefield I previously has experience for bf4 and hardline but for bf1 idk whst to expect .
I personally likes the Lewis .
But I'm a skills sniper in cod ww2 so what can I expect for the recon class?
What, i was sure that The Chauchau would be within the top if not the winner. it's a powerhouse that hits like a train
Sadly no one uses it
Ze insane Medic That’s a good thing, no one knows how good it is lol
The chenchant used to be my go to weapon till I tried the 14/17, that gun takes alot to get used to but it's well worth it's, I play right up front and mow ppl down non stop. That gun is OP imo. My second fav is the Benicio telescopic, max zoom , go prone, use single shots....That thing is a LMG sniper rifle, I counter snipe with that gun and ppl get angry lol
Ze insane Medic I do
It’s easily the best... 3 shot kill forget about it! The best👍🏻
"The recoil can be a bit nuts"
Bar telescopic to mg17
"You wanna get nuts, let's get nuts!"
Mg17 to Bar
"Never rub another man's recoil"
Cringe
ARussianTroll then I'm doing it right!
the browning low weight with no hud is amazing. something about not getting distracted by the hid and just focusing on targets makes being a support so amazing
Holy shit, from the thumbnail I thought the Pierno was going to win!
I'm gonna stay out of the sniper poll, because I only use Infantry rifles.
Pyke aim assist?
Uh no, I just like role playing as a WWI soldier ?
Pyke Hahah I'm doing the same thing xD
Pyke noob
Luke Maragni how is he a noob
The Parabellum WAS my favorite until the MG1917 came out. You can fire that thing for days and feels the most accurate of all the MGs. I play support class 90% of the time when I play BF1. I'm really surprised the 1917 came in third, I would have thought it would be 1st or AT LEAST 2nd.
I would even say the 1917 is a better AA gun too. High muzzle velocity and the water jacket means it’s easy to pelt planes for a long ass time
*EASTER EGG* around all maps in the apocalypse dlc, there is hidden wine bottles that you can pick up. On the river Somme map, it is behind crates in the windmill at B flag, on caporetto, it is down near B flag in a record player that you can active and pick up the bottle. I’m not sure about the other maps but it is a cool Easter egg to try out.
Justino 5⃣3⃣ If you kill 5 people with them you unlock the broken bottle, I'm going to abuse it :/
I love how two of the top 3 MGs were Browning weapons. Even in video games, his designs are recognized as some of the best.
Hey westie is your brothers name southie
Tyrannosaurus Rekt Yes
Norway Gamer why are you replying to everyone’s comments?
No eastie
Lmao northie
his wife, yes. their son, southwestie
I have no clue how the parabellum won. Trying to control that thing on consoles is a nightmare
connerbv so true 😂
As soon as you learn it it's a beast of a gun. Also try changing your recoil direction to the left. It shoots like a laser even without the bipod.
connerbv I think it's easy
connerbv you’re obviously not using the gun how it’s supposed to be used if the recoil is an issue for you.
It takes a little bit of time getting used to I use it in certain situation mostly trench warfare other than that I'll switch to the Browning or I've gone back to the chauchot
Not surprised by the list, though I dont 100% agree with it.
Browning 1917 deserves to be on the list for obvious reasons, massive amounts of ammunition, low recoil, highly controllable, etc. ROF is low but if used like an LMG was intended to be used by sitting on the bi-pod providing suppressing fire or covering fire, etc it works wonderfully at that role. With the TTK patch it's slightly more powerful but I dont really notice a huge difference.
The BAR... Where do I start? Pre-TTK I understand why people love it. But the Madsen was a better gun in pretty much every respect. Same damage model, lower recoil, bi-pod on the low weight, the trench model had a tighter spread, the storm model had less recoil as a whole, but more importantly... 10 more bullets per magazine. Just plain better in every way. A second great competitive option would be the Chauchat, same 20 rounds FAR more accurate when standing or on a bi-pod, while it may have the slowest ROF as an LMG, it's raw damage easily makes up for it and have taken apart MANY LMG and SMG users at close range with hip fire as it's got a super low spread.
Lastly the Parabellum... pre TTK it was ok, only because of it's ROF. Had a decent hip fire and so on... I used it today post TTK because I had a medal assignment that called for it's use. The damage buff IS appreciated, but the additional recoil on a gun that already had pretty piss poor recoil doesnt help. Now, it's still amazing for taking out planes, and on maps like Zeebrugge it's great for boat sniping with the Suppressive variant. However... pretty much every other machine gun is better for accuracy, recoil control, and general use with few exceptions. The Parabellum can do ok in CQB with hip fire, but not as good as SEVERAL other LMG's, the damage is nice but it's matched by several other more accurate guns, and the ammo capacity is on par with a few other guns. So really all it has going in it's favor is ROF. But due to hefty recoil, the Lewis Gun Suppressive makes for a far better LMG, and while lacking on total round count the Benet-Mercie easily destroys it on accuracy especially with the tri-pod model with the optic, THAT is a laser beam for accuracy.
So what would I rank and where? #3, Browning 1917, #2 Madsen, #1 Lewis Gun.
Parabellum = WW1 MG42
But don't let its fire rate fool you. It's a skill cannon. You better be able to control the recoil if you are going to hit targets behind cover or at range. Took me a while to get used to it and I love it.
BAR is the best weapon for versatility. MG14/17 Parabellum is the best LMG if you are good with it.
The BAR (Browning Automatic Rifle) is much more like an LMG than you think. I have personally fired one. Very carefully, I might add. I was allowed to fire a gun that belongs to my good friends father. He collects classic and iconic guns. I was immediately surprised how heavy the gun is. I have fired many Assault Rifles even earlier models like the STG 44. That gun is about 33% lighter than the BAR and it definitely makes it feel and shoot much more like an Assault Rifle. Something more agile and that you could use in both close range and medium range engagements with ease. However, the BAR I fired was much more stable at long ranges. Mainly, I think, due to the extra heft. It seemed to really stabilize the gun, not allowing it to move much under fire. I also might add that the owner has talked to many historical gun experts and they are said to classify the gun as an LMG. Having said that, they did say it was a gun that was ahead of its time, and was clearly bridging the gap between a gun class that had not yet been established. Assault Rifles. So it shares many things with both an LMG and an Assault Rifle, but was designed and marketed as an LMG.
By the way, great video! Really enjoyed it. I still play BF1 a ton even though BF-V is out very soon. I still get a great deal of joy out of this game. So thanks for the video even if I am seeing it very late. But I am subscribed now!
I like how westies intro just kinda fades in quickly and fades out, it isn’t overdone and loud first thing in the video
My personal top 5 is
5.perino
4.chou chat
3.mg17
2.hout
1.parabellum
0.5.kolibri
Hout is good for the newbie type players in my opinion. Trust me, I play support and I love the Hout, because it's laser accurate and easy to control, but it's inferior in regards to its fire rate. Parabellum is a skill cannon and is honestly the best gun if you know how to use it.
Lejend Dairy yeah I know that support is my main class and I love challenges not like those hellriegel pussies
The m1917 browning is my favorite lmg
- 250 bullets in a mag
- looks cool
- bicycle reload/overheat sound (hehe)
- good for suppressing enemies
- great for dealing with cavalry
Those are my reasons I like and main it
When it was first released, I vastly underestimated the M1917 LMG. I’ll never do it again. I love it
I don't agree with you about the BAR. I have 100SS on this weapon, that's been a long my favorite choice. And it's not to be used in short bursts. All 20 bullets should be fired in one burst bc by the time you get to your 5th-10th shot the weapon reaches its maximum precision and lowest recoil (remember how the lmgs work in this game?). By doing this I can shoot down the targets usually shot down by sniper rifles at extreme distances.
For anyone curious, the song is suns and stars by really slow motion.
Browning low weight is so good. You don't need telescopic. Just get the anti aircraft sights, set up the bipod, and snipe across the map. The recoil is so low, the bipod makes it so you can even fire full auto while sniping.
2:12 "The Need to reload this thing is almost reduced to zero" ME: Oh look i just killed 2 guys and i still have 157 bullets in the magazine, better reload before i run out of ammo.
Also, Yeee My Favorite Weapon Won :D
My top 3
1.) Madsen Storm- Best MG that nobody uses because of annoying clip. Very balanced. high dps, accurate and can kill 3 before reloading Consistently.
2.) Bar Storm- great in 1v1 situations and competes against assaults high dps. Can kill 2 before reloading consistently.
3.) Lewis low weight- lazer accurate but low dps. Can kill 4 before reloading consistently.
Sad how little love the other LMGs got. They're all fun but everybody just wants to use the BAR and Parabellum cuz they shoot fast. I don't blame them honestly, but damn. When I first unlocked the Huot I had so much fun with it that I used it for like 20 rounds straight! That gun has always been a sleeper.
Am I the only one who prefers to set up a MG nest in one particular central point (conquest) and hold it from the enemy the whole round to keep that point under our control? It's very satisfying in maps like St Quentin or Amien to find a good window, throw down a crate, and pick off all the guys running in below knowing you're both keeping points coming into your team and racking up a lot of kills. Especially with the M1917 or the MG15
Holy shit Westie killed 4 players with one mag with the BAR. I’m impressed.
Perino and chauchat dominate the battlefield
Hey, my 3 favorite support weapons are also the top 3 among the community (BTW, the M1917 is my favorite right now, too). I also thing that it's interesting that the top 3 list features 2 weapons designed by John Moses Browning (some of whose inventions still see frontline service today, almost or over 100 years after they entered service, such as the M2 & M1911 pistol). This just goes to help illustrate that man's genius when it came to designing guns.
The m1917 should be the sentry mg and the mg08/15 should be a lrimary for the support class
Support should get a tripod gadget that they can throw down and mount there machine gun on and get even further reduced recoil and increased accuracy as compared to a bipod
I really love the Perino, that hopper system is perfect for sustained and almost completely uninterrupted fire.
My top list is:
3: Lewis Gun
2: M1917 Browning
1: Huot Automatic
Depends on the map (range and damage drop-off), individual skill, and even whether you're playing on PC or console imo.
On PC, the lowest recoil weapons typically put you at a disadvantage. The additional ease of use is negligible to anyone who knows how to compensate for recoil (basically every competent player), but the longer TTK that often accompanies low recoil can be devastating in a gunfight.
I've had the most success alternating between the IMG 08/18, the Madsen, and Chauchat. The Madsen is a great mobile assault weapon, the Chauchat allows you to rival medics/scouts, and the IMG is just a beast with no discernible weaknesses.
The MG1917 is saved by its absurd magazine size, but guns like the Huot and Perino are essentially garbage. MG15, Mercie, and Lewis are well rounded, but don't really excel at anything. Parabellum and Burton absolutely shred everything, but one is uncontrollable at mid range while the other only holds 20 rounds. The BAR is basically an IMG 08 with 1/5 of the mag and no mid range capabilities.
“You should comfortably be able to take out 2 players with one mag.”
*GETS A QUAD FEED WITH ONE MAG*
BAR for aggressive play, MG15 for suppression and corridor control/suppression, m1909 for accuracy. Don't have access to DLC weapons though
I love that outro music; the song gives me goosebumps.every time I hear it - so nostalgic!
Once you've mastered the Perino... Nothing else ever feels as gud except for some in TRUE CQC.
I feel the browning 1917 and bar are like tied for first. You can run and gun with the 1917, but it works better playing defense and hanging back a little. The bar is amazing for run and gun. Only 2 I use.
I agree with Westie,.also my fav the now,.if your playing support,suppressive then the more ammo,the better before you need to re-load.
I think the suppresive? variant of the BAR is the best. I once killed someone on Quentin scar from flag f to flag b. I sat it up in the windmill and fired 6 rounds and killed him. Very satisfying
I still not have unlocked the Parabellum Infantry. I hate the Service Assignment. It’s so stupid.
the harder the better, takes longer, keeps me interested in the game longer
PauliusP33 I would never get this gun. This is to hard. Many people won’t be able to use this gun including myself.
its the plane kills right? i got em in 5 rounds. sure its mainly luck but you dedicate 5 days tops to playing conquest and sitting near a friendly AA canon and youll get the last hit eventually. its really not that bad
It’s super luck based. Both times was when I saw a plane on the edge of exploding due to AA gunfire, so I just fired at it and stole the kill.
Super luck based and didn’t feel legitimate at all.
I got my plane kills on my first round when In The Name Of The Tsar came out lol. It's not that hard if you put the time into it. People are to impatient and that's why they don't have it. Plus it's the best gun if you know how to use the skill cannon. Best guns should be rewarded through hard assignments and I'm glad not everyone is running around with it like something like a Hellriegel which is the opposite of a skill cannon and easy to get.
No Huot. I am disappointing with the community haha.
Shhh dont let anyone know the secret.... huot is the best lmg imo
The only thing the hout is good for now is noobs because it has a easy to control recoil and accuracy. It has an inferior fire rate. The Parabellum is the best in the hands of a good player because it can out kill anyone if you got the skills to manage the recoil.
Lejend Dairy Why would the Huot be for noobs? I would rather say the Parabellum is for noobs with that high fire rate, it's harder to control without bipod down but not in close range anyways.
i’m disappointing to man wht a shame
Hemi Dude Because you have to know how to aim with the Parabellum. It has a hard fire rate but it kicks like a mule and LMGs are meant for more medium range, which is what I'm talking about. The Hout has no recoil and good accuracy, but an inferior fire rate. Meaning it's more noob friendly because you can pick it up and it's easy to use.
Perinos always gonna be my fav
In my play style for medium to long range, I use the perino and for up close to medium is LMG 08. I never use bipods though. Prone = death for me. I try to keep moving and use cover. I don't go against walls because explosives.
The best marksman rifle is either the Mosin nagant or the G95
smle hands down. its not even a debate its gonna take 80% of the votes
PauliusP33 I personally never had a feel for the SMLE for all 3 variants, its a good weapon, I just can't get a feel for it. I definetely prefer the "Garbage rod" (mosin nagant) or the G95. And the upcoming Ross rifle looks very good too
i use rifles based on sweet spots. for the zoom level that marksman scopes gives us, the smle is optimal. mosin nagant is usable but a bit too long range, only use it instead of the russian lever action because of no scope glare. g95 doesnt have a sweet spot and thus is the best all around rifle in hardcore mode. and g98 and springfield makrsmen are far too long range. at least for my 22" monitor
Also the 1903 will be a favorite for having the longest 1 hit kill range. Will come in second.
G98,G95, and SMLE
This map needs frontlines. That is how Apoc should be pplayed
Isaac lichtenstein and operations too
love the soundbites for the intro and outro plz keep them, they have a WW1 feel to them
+Philip Alzate Will do!
the parabellum fires way to fast for me and I constantly lag so its like 50-75% of the mussel flair from the barrel isn't actually being fired
An assault rifle uses shorter bullets. The BAR is an automatic rifle, not assault.
It uses full power rifle bullets, . 30 06 Springfield
I thought that the MG15 was a very versatile LMG pre-patch. I could easily switch between sorta running and gunning and then placing down the bipod and mowing people down at long range. I like the Parabellum, but it’s a gun suited for mainly two scenarios: long range with a bipod, and up close hip firing.
I think there is a lot of people that haven't found out how good the Huot has gotten after TTK 2.0. It's a very very good gun now. It's not a BAR, but other than that it's crazy now. Try it!
The recoil that that the parabellum has on the ps4 is insane, it’s even hard to use when you bipod it.
Passchendaele is a proper WWI Battlefield map. That’s what I expected to see when BF1 launched. Looking forward to the three infantry maps in the Apocalypse DLC.
My first time using the Browning 1917 was devastating to my enemies, it's like they expect you to have to reload, and they run into my hail of lead and die. The BAR is my nemesis, still getting used to its ridiculous recoil. By the time I get it under control, time to reload. Will try the 1914 as soon as I can.
So I have my own personal goal to get at least 1 service Star for each weapon in the game. When I got to the parabellum I found it very frustrating. Even with the bipod deployed the suppressive variant kicks like a mule. On a side note I think the 75% reduction in suppression while bipoded is a useless specialization. I could be spraying bullets down range and as soon as one bullet flies past me, my guy looses all control.
Worthy winner in the Parabellum. The MG15 suppressive was always my favourite until I got hold of the Parabellum suppressive, I just love using this weapon. Go prone with 2.5x scope - so much fun 😁
My top 3 LMGs
1. MG15 n.A. Low Weight
2. BAR M1918 Storm
3. Madsen MG Low Weight
the aiming and then shooting shows me why I am feeling it has a lot of spread.
I'm a Madsen storm guy myself. Such an iconic gun, still being used around by Police here, hard to believe.
ArthurAlcantara it is also used by Brazil special forces
If you use the AA sights on the Parabellem it makes the horizontal recoil much easier to control.
The new TTK has all LMG's take about 6 rounds to kill at close range max, so, in conjunction, I took the fasting firing gun I could find, it happened to be in first on this list, it overheats fast and ADSing is a no-go unless you have the bipod, however, since I'll be close range, low weight-hipfire, my gosh how fast that thing shreds people becuase it fires like a dang automatico.
Would've thought the chauchat and the perino would be in here. Great damage on the chau and I love the headshot accuracy on the perino
MG15 n.A. Suppressive is really the best gun and best choice for support when u give supressive fire and keeping little distance to enemy. not lot of players use this weapon but you should try.. its a true beast.
it use to be my favorite before this. when this gun is mounted on the bipod its amazing. it can take down a heavy bomber
I enjoy the browning but the ads time and ttk frustrate me. Feel like everyone gets behind cover before I can finish them off.
I have 15,000 kills combined between the MG15 Storm and Low Weight so that will always be my favorite but my top three would be
1. MG15
2. Parabellum
3. BAR
Suprised the Lewis Suppressive didn't get more votes. Lots of ammo and the sight can make you very accurate at longer ranges with a solid rate of fire.
On Console:
1) MG15 Suppressive
2) m1917 mg
3) Bar
Parabellum is really hard to use on console imo, it's still good but doesn't suit my play style that well.
It's a skill weapon u gotta master the recoil
Yeah i agree buuuut, the Chauchat is the most dangerous weapon to face in close quarters and medium range, and that sound is so damn good and scary
Why should anyone use original iron sights? just take AA.
I use the 1917 factory with the AA-sights and a 2x magnification. i find it to be the best set-up when the optical version doesnt do it.
My favorite LMG's:
Close range: BAR M1918
Long range: MG15nA with optic
the M1917 MG is glitched after the patch, if I press the fire button too fast after I press the ADS button the accuracy is same as hip fire
I totally dominated with the Parabellum MG 14 suppressive even in close quarter action, but after the patch the aiming down the sight is too low for a ninja suppressive player like me.The bar is gonna be the new automatico for the support class!
I think the Perino low weight is amazing for medium range. It’s like an MG1917 but with no recoil
Parabellum is imo the best lmg. 10 ss with it, and I plan on getting a lot more.
Cape Helles operations,
Choose support
Choose MG Browning suppresive
Lay down and shoot everything that comes onshore.
Wait, hold your horses.
The BAR IS a LMG.
The first assault rifle was the StG44/MP44. The BAR may be called an automatic rifle, but it was and still is classified by the US army as a LMG.
should I aim down sights with the bar trench? I am asking becuase you mentioned the patch and the bullet spread. I really like the bar but Im not sure about how it preforms with the patch. Keep on making your videos love your vids
I'm not gonna lie, the apocalypse dlc doesn't look to exiting. With the French dlc we got a new elite class and two new tanks. With the Russian dlc we got snowy environments, awesome weapons, a giant plane, and 8 new maps. And I think turning tides is pretty self explanatory. The apocalypse dlc looks like a few basic maps, some weird melee weapons and a couple guns. I mean, I guess they're bringing back air superiority but it just doesn't compare to everything else. Hopefully they add a bunch to it before release.
On the m1917 with250 bullets it would still be enjoyable asa stationary if they added slight more damage to balance it out from being stationary
The huot became so good after the TTK 2.0 update because of it's high accuracy and the high damage it got from the update. New main weapon!!!
honestly i think the lmg 08/18 is better than the parabellum because the skins are more detailed and sinister and the gun has less recoil and feels like it packs a much greater punch. i once went 26-0 with the 08/18
bro I need the setting for support machine gun . Lmg Is Great But Cannot Focus aiming at the Targets .Bullets go Above And Right And Down !! As if the weapon out of control !! Any Advic ????
Great video Westie.Keep it up!!!
i'm loving the mg1917 when i want to be a midrange suppression beast, you can't beat all thoes rounds. When i feel like getting up close im loving the huot, with this ttk patch it is amazing.
I think for future polls you should have a tier system for voting as, I do believe as many others do that the SMLE is the top gun, but that means I had no other input on how the rest of the ratings are done. I think for the next poll that the Mosin-Nagant should be 2nd however because I only have 1 vote I couldn't help boost the Mosin to get the recognition it deserves.
Lmgs were great before the update now it's sucks because they increased the recoil on it and also they buffed the smgs Shame dice :(
Earlier today I was ripping up my enemies at the fort with the MG 15.I also still have good luck with the BAR telescopic.And this is using a controller on pc.
My personal favorite is the Madsen MG with the Parabellum in 2nd and the MG 15nA in 3rd
