This is to all those who are finding the new recoil on the PKM difficult to control; you're doing it wrong. Two kills at 720m plus, with a nice Taliban mortar strike on Brit main as a background. Enjoy.

Wow. Tremendous shooting, assuming it wasn't those mortars at the entrance of the base that got them. If you did hit them, I'm impressed. The trick is not to adjust and raise the sights up during the short bursts?

You sure someone closer didn't tag them instead?

Positive, there was no-one else close, the mortars were too far away and I got the kills. Can check the BR too
And in the words of Harvey Dent in The Dark Knight; "I make my own luck". Once would have been lucky but twice?

I don't mean to be a bit of a spotter but your map proves someone else was alot closer with a perfect shot on the enemies... I'm not saying you never killed them I'm just saying you might not have

If the mortars didnt make them bleed that guy near the river could ve shot them just as well. I call shenanigans.
Ninjaed, but he prolly didn't put up the score sheet to hid his 0/10 kd ratio.

It made me laugh not matter if it was you that killed them. Looks nice in the video.
Check with binocs - shoot - check again - first one dead
Check with binocs - shoot - check again - 2nd one dead

The recoil is pushing the gun
back not
up.
Let the recoil bounce around-it's still firing around the area you first aimed at. Burst size depends on the situation. (Close range? Waste them with a long burst. Medium range? Might be good to use a long burst if you're trying to suppress multiple targets, or short bursts to pick them off individually...)
etc, etc.

With the new recoil I got more CQB/Mid Range kills then Long Range kills.
0.87 PKM Kills 9/10 >150M
0.90 PKM Kills 9/10 <100M (I killed a British sniper on Lashkar Valley wit a lucky shot on I think >400M)
But I think the PKM is more usefull for city ambushes and not for long range because 1st World armies are better equiped for long range then Insurgents.

Hate what they do not understand.
PKM is a great little buddy, you've just got to give him his candy (bodies) and let him go at it.

Impressive. I will admit, it will need some adjusting in future versions. It's mainly the recoil animation that's throwing people off.
