Could the SG553 use a little buff?

First of all, I'm aware that the SG553 is already a formidable carbine in the right hands. It's my #1 carbine and my #3 weapon overall (behind my QBB-95 and RPK) with about 3,400 kills so far. It's by no means a bad gun and I still roll whole teams with in CQB. My issue is that it seems like it is quite lacking in full-auto compared to the ACW-R and in burst the M4 blows it out of the water.

Most other carbines are balanced in some way between ROF (which translates to recoil/SIPS/SDEC), reload speed, and muzzle velocity. Compared to the ACW-R, the SG553 has a good bit lower muzzle velocity plus 50RPM less ROF but not much less recoil (especially that 0.39 H-recoil to the right compared to the 0.28 of the M4). To top it all off, the tactical reload for the SG553 is the same as an empty reload for the ACW-R. Maybe I'm missing something here, but it feels like the SG553 gets the short end of the stick in almost every category compared to its closest rivals in the carbine class. It doesn't need a huge buff by any means. I'd be happy if they switched the reload speed and/or muzzle velocity of the ACW-R with the SG553, in fact I feel like the slower reload would kind of balance the ACW-R a bit better as it is currently a rather dominant gun in its class that does seem to noticeably outperform most others.

553 is good to longer ranges than the ACR.

Plus, those ironsights....yum.

The SG553 is much easier to control vs. the ACW-R and still reloads faster than the A-91.

I actually prefer the SG to the ACW-R. For one the ACW-R has more recoil and drifts to the left the most, which I find the hardest to control.

It really depends on what you prefer. The ACW-R is a little bit better for close range, and the SG-553 is a little more suited for medium range.

The SG553 is already great, lowish vrecoil makes it very hbar friendly, burst it and it's effective out to the max ranges you'll want to engage with a carbine without being hugely disadvantaged by weapon class.

Sg553 is fine the way it is imho. Full auto is great with this weapon. Reminds me a bit of the m4a1 in cs 1.6. Easy to control while spraying and I found I can effectively tap fire it at longer ranges. My preferred setup is compensator and stubby grip. It's 800+ rpm is great for cqb, but it doesn't seem to have the insta kill ability the acr offers. Overall one of the most versatile guns in the game. I say no buff needed.
