    How does accuracy affect LMGs?

    So wondering how, if at all does accuracy affect Light Machine Guns.

    I understand that accuracy affects how soon/quickly the reticle tightens backs up after being spread when firing. But LMGs don't seem to have those kinda of reticles.

    So does it help LMGs at all? Or does accuracy help in another way that is applicable to LMGs I'm not aware of?

    If anyone has any info on this, would be great.

    Thanks

    LMGS gain accuracy the longer they are fired, that is why the reticle tightens. i imagine accuracy works kinda like balanced does for stability.

    The longuer you fire, the better accuracy is with LMG.
    BUT you don't reach the max accuraccy possible even after 300 shot fired. because at some pont, your accuracy increase stop, that's doesn't mean you reach the cap, just the fact your LMG cannot go farther just by fireing.

    So putting more accuracy (handstop / scopes / muzzle mods) may help at longuer range.

    But to be honnest I used LMG first 6 weeks and i find more important to have high stability. an LMG with Stable talent is a must.

    Now sad fact is LMG are freaking weak, suppression is ok in some situation, but most of the time totally usless, sometime even annoying for you and your team.

    Thanks for the replies.

    But still looking for the answer. Bolded the most relevant parts to clarify what I am asking (seems to have gotten skipped in the responses so far), if anyone can address these would be helpful.

    Is accuracy something OTHER than how quickly the reticle re-adjusts after/when firing? I get that if the reticle widens, the bullets have a larger spread within it.

    Bump. Any one have any solid info on this Q?

    Had to scroll past 5-6 pages of complaints/whine threads to find this info related one, dang.

    Well simply that even if the reticle cannot go smaller after firing for some time, accuracy increasing will still reduce more the spread if you increase it more.
