love my lmgs - tend to play with blind eye pro as my first perk as they destroy killstreaks, love shooting care pakage helicopters, uavs out of the sky with my l86 - ospreys dont last long either. l86 with thermal and silencer, or mg with grip and silencer are my choice.
I hear you. I didn't believe how effective the Blind Eye Pro/LMG combo was against aircraft until I tried it myself. It's a perfect substitute for the Stinger (except when up against an Advanced UAV or AC-130).
From my experience, the MG36 can take out an Osprey or Pavelow in less than half a magazine w/ Blind Eye Pro.
The Blind Eye Pro/LMG combo is actually pretty awesome against Advanced UAV, but you are right, bullets do not reach AC-130.
It's almost unneccessary to have a Stinger (if it weren't for those AC-130s and UAVs out of reach on certain maps like Foundation) with an LMG and Blind Eye Pro.
Another very good video guide from our friend here...
If I may be so bold as to offer some LMG advice?
In the video you made short work of the enemy footsoldiers, but for me the LMGs real strengths are in it's "Anti Air Support" role...
You were playing Drop Zone which renders the Killstreaks redundant so in your video you made a class to engage enemy soldiers, i.e, Quickdraw, Steady Aim...
For the most part I think that the LMGs should be embraced for what they are and their own unique strengths should be exploited, rather than trying to turn the gun into a "Buff AR"...
For me, BLIND EYE PRO, Hardline Pro, and Marksman Pro with SPECIALIST KS are almost a pre requisite for all of the LMGs. I use a RD sight and Grip or Silencer usually and the benefits to going PRONE should not be overlooked...
My set ups are less mobile than your preffered set up (to start with) but they bring great value to the team in that they keep the sky empty. Pair the LMG with a Stinger for the "No Flare" KStreaks and you can pretty much gaurantee your team mates' safety from all air attacks, counter spy planes and spy planes...
Also with Specialist on, you will soon have the mobility that you desire or need from Stalker and X Conditioning, etc...
This short video demonstrates the destructive power of the BEP/LMG/Stinger Combo load out. I am by no means as good a player as you are, so I try to bring value to a team in other ways. In this game clip the start of the video is literally me spawning in to a game in progress (replacing a dashboarder no doubt) and cleaning up the sky...
