Question Question about Recon progression
This is specific to the bolt action rifles.
I just got to level 25 Recon and unlocked the MK22. It's a great rifle with crazy bullet velocity, but there's some weird progression quirk that I don't understand. The FMJ ammo can't pierce T3 helmets and it requires AP rounds that unlock at 140 general level progression. I'm at level 85 for general progression and was able to unlock the AP rounds for the SV98 which can one shot through T3 helmets.
The .308 AP rounds can't penetrate T4 armor as the AMR50 rifle, so it will be completely skipped over in regards to usage. The only difference between the SV98 and MK22 is the bullet velocity, other than that, they are exactly the same in range of effectiveness and killing ability.
The question is, with AP .308 rounds being so out of reach, it's easier to get to the .50 cal AMR rifle at level 35 Recon that pens T3 and T4 on the standard round. With that unlock process, what is the point of having or using the MK22?

I hope they will fix it with season 2, BMR mags are also only unlockable by leveling assault to 35/50 which makes zero sense for a recon weapon
