Nice digging on a topic about the G36C
It is my favourite assault rifle, and therefore also my most used gun in the game.
I have heard a few good points about this gun, and some reasoning the ACR is better.
Well, it you are the spaying kind of guy, who aims and doesnt let go of the trigger before you see +100, yeah it is.
now if you can apreciate the really fast recenter speed, the lateral recoil and the fast swap times, it is a better gun than the ACR will ever be in your hands. I have put the ACR back on a class a few times because these noobs kept killing me with it, but then again, it is a noob gun.... I coulnd stand the recenter speed, if you want to put a few accurate bursts on target (lets say 2x3 rounds) you often didnt even kill the guy. Now im not saying it is better then the ACR, but if you play to its strenghts it is better then the ACR. the fast recenter speed means you will kill faster at long range if done propperly. (burst! like more ppl in this threat already said) in the close range engagements you have a small advantage in ROF and the recoils doenst matter. IMO the only range where the acr has the advantage is the range from where it is stil a 3 round kill where the G36 is a 4 HK. at that range the ACR is still easily spammable while the G36 has to start thinking about burst firing (grip dependent, come to that later) the ranges before and after that the G36 had no disadvantage IMO.
The fast swap time is lovely, and IMO better then the reload speed advantage of the ACR, again, if used properly. In what instance is a faster reload REALY going to help you? in a CQC, because in a longer firefight you should always be close to cover, especially when the point of reloading is near. These CQC is where a fast swap time really shines, the drop time of the G36C combined with the raise time of AKIMBO G18s is 0.3 + 0.55 = 0.85. while the ACR has a add time of 1.1 and a combined switch of 0.6 + 0.55 = 1.15. Therefore if used properly, the switch bonus of the G36 can give you a better advantage than the ACR's reload can. (this is all not that important when using SOH, but then the reload advantage of the ACR had almost disapeared aswell)
the g18's can be swaped for FMGs if you like unboxing them everytime you spawn (it makes me feel like a noob, so I dont use them, only on a moab class mayb) or your favourite akimbo pistols (AKIMBO pistols do net get quickdraw bonus so are also subject to this theory)
Now if you learn to manipulate the recoil. (burst fire at long range, pul down a little in close and mid range battles (good to counter flinch aswell)) you will see you can pull of the craziest moves with this gun.
I once killed 5 guys in one clip on a crazy streak, something I could have never done with any other AR.
Now on the issue of attachments,
once you start using this gun, you will get used to the iron sights, believe me, please do. In fact, you will start loving that little needle, and all that free space you can see next to it. The acr iron really anois me now for example, bumping around with 3 little spikes. The key is imo you need one of these 3 things to be acurate with the G36C:
A silencer (a good choice overall anyway)
A RDS (nice and clear vieuw, it does give you an advantage in 1 vs 2 or 3 fights, but that counts for every gun)
Kick
Only one of these 3 things is really required IMO, because the combination of the irons with muzzle flash and no kick can put me off target sometimes. When a silencer is present the recoil and sight is no problem anymore because the flash is gone, a red dot gives you clearer vieuw aswell (obviously), and kick reduces the recoil so you can live with the flash and irons, and you can alway guess where your bullets should go (sounds sketshy, but BO AK47 users must know exactly what I mean
)
If you follow up on this, so you at least get one of these, you will find the G36 is a really awesome and devastating gun.
Now on to the classes I advice:
High Assault streak class:G36C Kick Silencer
G18 Akimbo (I call it my scav G72 class
)
Scav
Assasin/QD/HL (depends on playstyle and chosen killstreaks, I use ass2in and go to osprey, lying in reapers and AC's is not good without ass2in)
sitrep (personal choise, can be any perk 3)
Predator/reaper/AC130 OR Reaper/AC130/Osprey (jugger?)
now if you only go to reaper, dont use this class, Go for the
Agressive AR class: as you dont need scavenger, you could well go with SoH and use the MP9 as secondairy if you run out of bullets (because of SOH you dont need the akimbo's to switch to in hard situation)
G36 + RDS + anything (used this with impact to do the prof. challange, doing breath now which actually is not that bad as I thought! (Thereby I mean it doesnt feal totaly useless ^_^ )) you can go with a silencer aswell
MP9 silencer if you run out of rounds or when you want to make a quick silend kill.
Soh
QD (Ass2in can be used to if you prefer it)
Sitrep (again, any can be used, stalker is lovely for example, but once you get used to it it is hard to get rid of, so I never use it anymore)
Predator, Heli, Reaper
While I actually hate the Heli because it f...cks up the sound of the game and is not a good combination with sitrep, this is one of the only classes I use it on. It also makes me want to camp for my reaper sometimes, which puts me out of my flow and therefore sometimes gets me killed when somebody surprises me. I prefer killstreaks that do their damage instantly.
This is a great offensive class and can be used with stuns and frag/semtex to a great effect because of quickdraw. In a SnD or 2v2 fight recon might be a good choise combined with flashes. But in TDM/DOM i use another recon class:
Hardline AR Class: G36 silencer + EM or whatever, aslong you have silencer/kick/RDS
G18 akimbo (launcher might work here aswell)
Flashes + C4 or grenade
Recon
Hardline
Sitrep (again, any can be used)
Predator, Airstrike, Reaper
This class is just awesome in DOME and other open maps and sometimes even feels cheap. While grenades dont work in the first few seconds of the game, you can still flash the other team in DOME in the first seconds. Wait until the 3rd second or so, this is because you dont want the recon effect to run out to quickly, and save the 2nd one for when reacon has stopped. Now you can see your teammates go for those little 8 second blackbird kills and you can see the assist cound as kill;'s stack
I have gotten a few free pred's this way, and almost every TDM game on DOME I get 2 of my 4 kills needed for my first pred through assists.I use a silencer because I also like to harras my enemy with a few shots on top of the dome in the distance even if I cant kill them because they get to cover fast. this class is also awesome in resistance for example, in the middle of the map. I have gotten 3 reapers in one game a couple of times in TDM. you just keep using killstreaks.
another great benefit of this class is the assists you get in your reaper count towards your next streak!!! and while the airstrike might not be the best killstreak, in combination with hardline you always get at least an assist, and often at least one kill. I prefer it in this setup over a helicopter because of the instant effect and nice combination with hardline.
I use and have used a lot of different specialist classes with the G36C to get some MOABS, and although the P90 is still the gun I got most MOABS with by far (the mobility saves your ass allot), the G36 does a good job aswell. I have used:
G72 MOAB Class: G36 EM+silencer or RDS+silencer (you will get kick for free)
any secondairy as you will be getting SOH anyway, I would use akimbo G18 (OR FMG if you feel like a nub
)
scav
ass2in
steady aim (to let them think I am not soundwhoring ^_^ )
Specialist: Sitrep/Quickdraw/SOH
Overkill and a P90/PP90 + RF + silencer works really nice to with: ass/sitrep/SOH
I have even gotten 2 moabs with an overkill class with an AA12 + EM + Damage
With specialist this is an awesome solution in close combat!!!
at last I also use a G36 on my
anti air class with EM + Silencer + stinger
the EM is there because I dont want to run out of bullets, but a mp7 with EM + silencer fits also really nice in this role
So this has become a pretty big post, Im sorry for my english, it is not my native language. And this post is to long to look everything up.
I hope you found it a good read and you give the G36 a chance, This is how I view the gun and how I have used it to obliterate my enemy's
I have 17720 kills with the G36 with a KD of 2.4 and accuracy of 20%
4417 Kills with the ACR with a KD of only 2.11 and accuracy of only 19%!
so as a matter of fact I am more accurate with the G36 then with an ACR
and while I have a higher KD with guns like the AK, FAD and MK14, those guns I didnt use in the beginning few prestiges of the game, where I didnt know the maps and didnt use sitrep yet etc. (AK 2.49, FAD 2.6, M14 2.43)
and while I used the ACR at the beginning aswell, I still use it now when I pick up and ACR from the ground (what else is there to find?) which is when I wonder to myself again why I liked this gun so much in the past. My accuracy the G36 is 20% (pretty laggy here) but the ACR is only 19% !!!
So if you have not really given the G36 a fair chance over the ACR please do so, and do so for at least 500 Kills. Otherwise you can never fully understand the power and uses of this gun.
If you got this far thnx for reading! and if you have any questions on my reasoning please just ask
