So i think that the current state of the 88 as a static weapon damages the image of eirr beeing a fast paced environment.
It has numerous reasons, one is the area denial that seems to be quite often used.
Does area denial really supports fast paced gameplay? my opinion is no.
Suggestion:
let a tier 4 unlock be able to buy a truck that can pack and unpack an 88. If the 88 gets too strong with that, give it a reduce of damage and range in that tier 4 unlock.
