try it in a real gam.e against brits emplacements, and the recharge is too quick doesn't give u to repair/heal
i know it's effective, i've been on both ends of it, but i never bothered to use the barrage, just the autofire/attack ground. the cooldown has always been the same length as the barrage, it's just that the barrage used to suck.
Both the ISG auto fire and barrage got a massive buff to their scatter/accuracy with the release of UKF. They are insanely accurate right now.
ahh, see i didn't know the change also effected the barrage.
