If there was no cap, I'd probably be a BR9000 on PC. Logging in to the PS4 version I could not for the life of me figure out how to bust out my medic tool. Aiming felt like I was underwater, and everyone reacted so slowly. I can only IMAGINE how a new player would feel.
I haven't tested flying yet, but I heard some vehicles had a BattleRank restriction??
No. It depends on the engagement range of your targets. If you're indoors in a BioLab, then the answer is likely yes. I say likely, because if you're playing LA and running around flanking, then it might not be.
I tend to take HVA whenever possible though (personal preference). It increases vertical recoil, but depending on the weapon has a nice increase in bullet velocity.

Wrel has done some testing along with the theory craft and whatnot, and really, assuming you're not fighting at 40+yrds (long or above) range, soft is always a clear win. At best it cuts one or more bullets off your TTK at multiple ranges, beyond that it adds zero bullets to your TTK.
As for HVA, it almost never is worth it. It doesn't do anything useful to TTKs for any but a small handful of guns in a narrow range band. And there are several guns where HVA gives sub 10 units of velocity increase (which works out to tiny %'s increase when we're talking most guns normal velocities.

I absolutely adore funny bugs. Sounds like there's another one in game. Not sure if enemies can hear it or it's friendlies only:
PSA: There is currently a lasher bug that makes the max volume across multiple hexes : Planetside

Mist, the best SMG is the PDW + Flash Supp + SPA + Adv Laser.
If you can master your trigger control it's a headshot machine. It will aurax as fast as the Orion. However, if you're on NC (which you're not) the Cyclone (I believe that's right) is just as good if not a tad better, that's up to debate.
As for the SPA vs HVA, it comes down to personal preference. There are a few guns that it is absolutely necessary on for me. That being the NS-11C (Makes the weapon go from shit tier to god tier and almost no noticeable recoil) and the NS-11A with a Suppressor.

One more pro-tip.
The mini map is your friend and worst enemy, if you can equip a supp and HVA you are going to catch a lot of people off guard, and you'll gain back almost all the velocity you lost by adding that suppressor. This is especially useful as a medic, nothing like surprising that last asshole before you revive all your friends.
Also, try to avoid using the compensator in cqc/medium fights, yes this is sometimes unavoidable with certain weapons but I never use them in cqc/medium fights if possible.

I'm not sure, only one I've unlocked is the Beetlegeuse and it's just an unlimited ammo version of the Orion. I wish there was a way to try them in the VR so you could see if they were worth it.
Game isn't really playable for me now. Not sure what changed. Getting alot of hard freezes, about a second long, usually right as I'm trying to fight.
I think maybe it is loading up all the custom stuff for the players and my machine hangs while it is doing it. Any way to turn all that stuff off?
