IMO pistols are overpowered in most games. They should be a backup weapon when your main gun is out of bullets, not your first choice.

BF6 kinda got that right

handguns are reallly rough save the revolvers, but they have a slow fire rate and poorer handling.

The WW1 series (Verdun, Tannenberg, Isonzo and as of two days ago, Gallipoli) are pretty accurate for weapon effects. A single heavy machine gun is perfectly capable of killing huge amounts of infantry if it's in a good spot, and is only limited by ammunition. Revolvers also pack a punch, but genuinely take 15+ seconds to reload.

In fact, all the weapons in that series are pretty spot on, and almost all of them will kill in one hit.

God I miss Verdun so much.

Everyone not running around with automatic weapons, but the very few on the teams can actually make a difference.

No grenade spam, rifles were actually deadly with one shot kills.

Shame it died. Isonzo was fun too, but it wasn’t long until lobbies were just filled with bots.

It’s a shame the WW1 genre isn’t as popular, the games die so quickly

Isonzo still has 2 or 3 full lobbies almost all the time. Or it did, now Gallipoli is out, people might have migrated. That one is definitely full every time I've booted it.
