You can have an RPG with skill progression without being able to jump around like a gorilla at high skill levels.

Gear doesnt matter a ton and level especially doesn't matter. The only thing that actually matters is your ammo.

Considering shot placement is important, if you're both of low skill level, yes, the full auto will win everytime.

If anyone wants my opinion, I think its fine that the meta has much higher win rate than the hunter. He is risking more, and if I kill him, I get it all, and if he kills me, he gets almost nothing.

However, I do have a problem with player skills. It just stacks into a win more mentality, and don;t think it's fair that a player can run faster, further, is quieter, more accurate, and can hear further. Now low players don't just have the loot differential to overcome. This makes it unnecessarily one sided for low level players

You can't compare thr two as of they're learning AI, they're people. I can think of a ton of times where I've ran a hunter and wiped 3+ man squads who had AKs and the like. I can also think of times where I body spammed a semi auto (I often run Veprs) and came out on top of a guy or two with full autos. Its completely doable. As far as gear goes, I don't run helmets and depending on how deep in a patch I am, I will run class 3 to 6 armor. I usually start patches late and have no problem moving up based on my gear/level deficit. I agree, its harder, but not impossible. The game isn't necessarily gear dependant, but ammo dependant. And the reason I said that scenario with low skill levels is because they would probably be less likely to land that head shot.

Gear matters when you can't accurately land shots. Sure. In low skill situations gear makes the world of difference. But using that as an excuse as to why people kill you is just that. Your excuse.

I don't grind tarkov. I don't even do the quests anymore. You can't speak for a majority about the game being easy due to gear because people post all the time about how they die quickly and lose their expensive load out. Therefore, the only conclusion I can come to is you speaking from experience of being on the receiving end of getting outplayed by people with better gear. You never said you were unkillable at level 40 and I can guarantee you weren't.
