1. / 2. / 3. Yes but not how you said. I think it's a bad idea to allow DMR to OS in head at close range. BF3 did that and everybody was banning/complaining about this weapon. I think we should buff damage to something like 45 - 34 for the common DMR and built the rest of them around this damage (SKS with less damage but higher ROF, ACE 52 SV higher damage but less ROF)

By making this adjustment, the DMR will become a 3 shot kill at ALL range (2 shot with a head shot).

4. OH god NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! :O Today, DMR accuracy, spread, spread increased and ROF are just fine!!! We don't want think like CoD 4 where you just bound "fire" on your mouse wheel and fire with the barret faster than every full auto weapon ( homemade rapid fire ^^ ). We don't need laser beam as well. Don't touch these characteristics, and it will be fine.

5. Again, no... No, no, no. Attachement are good here and works perfectly when you know how and when use it. Moreover, if you read correctly the description of the Muzzle Brake/Compensator, they only talk about Auto/Burst fire, ie High RoF. To reach the point where your DMR is affected by this downside, you have to SPAM you mouse (like with pistol)... And DMR are not designed to do that.

6. well, okay... Now say me why i should use a sniper rifle when i can choose a weapon with a higher Rate of Fire, a high accuracy, a lower recoil, high range otpics and decent damage?

I think, In my opinion, that you don't understand the purpose of a DMR. They are design to provide high accuracy support at medium to high range (In BF4, Medium range > 100m) and fill the gap between a simple AR (medium range, medium accuracy) and the bolt action rifle(High range, High accuracy)

The DMR are well design, with the exception of the damage model which is way to close to a AR. I agree that a SKS must have damage similar to an AR, but it's an SKS!!! It seems that you want every DMR have the rate of fire of the SKS with the damage dealt by a ACE 52 SV or a SCAR H SV.

I think that the only that need to be change is the damage model. DMR need to be a 3 shot kill at all range. the rest of its characteristic are just fine.
