@@sircharlesross537 well, the AA variants IRL used the AA sights of the in game Low Weight, the foregrip of the in game Optical, and the extended magazine of the Suppressive
really well done! I've been wanting to play support correctly for a while, and all though I know the basic information, having the stats on screen while it's being summarized is pretty helpful.
I really hope they buff this weapon somehow. For the Lewis gun being the starting support class weapon, it's very underwhelming if you give it to a player that's new to the game.
They kinda buffed all the support weapons with the last update by lowering their first shot recoil even more. They are trying to get more players to use the support class because apparently it's the least played class in BF1.
Demon50 It really is. The onlu things that are really outstanding about the class are the MG15 with its dominant ammo capacity and the mortar which is even easier to use than Battlefield 4's mortar.
virko1990 I know right? I feel the same way. I know automatic weapons weren't as powerful as AR-15s and other guns we have now, but Jesus Christ the support class is awful in his game.
Stealthygunner X actually right now the support class is fucking amazing. I get multi kills all the time with the crossbow launcher and you can completely destroy with the Lewis gun, i am reliably top of the leader boards every game playing as support.
In reality, 303 British rounds were still considered weak compared to the 11mm bullets used by the forner Martini-Henry. The 303 was so weak that the dum-dum bullet was invented to increase the power of this round.
@@Leemacht Dum dum bullets were considered illegal by the time the first word war rolled around mate. They were prohibited in the Hague Convention in 1899 because they caused 'excessive wounds'
I understand that these videos take much effort, but unlike battlefield hardline can you do every weapon. Trying not to be mean I love your channel. Keep up the good work. Love, Kim
+Kim Kardashian Gonna try and get through them all (including future dlc weapons) there were a few Hardline weapons I missed out down to me focusing on other games, but hopefully I'll be able to do all of the bf1 weapons
The suppressive is the best variant for the Lewis Gun in my opinion because it's a suppresive class so the variant does what most gun in that class are meant to do best, only better. I understand the need for guns with different stats though like the madsen as you do need hybrid-like guns that can suppress better than the other classes weapons but not as good as something like the lewis gun, because it trades damage for that, which will make it work better in different situations on different maps. BF4 had much more customization, but never had it meant as much as in BF1, making BF1, in my opinion, more customizable because the customization matters much more.
Suppressive version is awesome, as long as you are either laying down or shooting out of a window or a off a ledge it shreds the enemy up. Just went 21-1 with it and I suck at this game, I usually have higher deaths then kills lol.
Does it recover 67% faster or does it take 67% less time? You say 67% faster at 4:55 and 67% less time/200% faster at 5:06. Many people on youtube mix up speed and time reduction while they are not the same thing. A 100% speed increase equals a 50% time reduction.
+KR BLACK The low weight variant recovers 67% faster from recoil (10.002 opposed to 6) and it also recovers 200% quicker from hipfire spread (32.4 as opposed to 10.8)
I actually like the lewis gun as a general purpose LMG, its rate of fire gives it great control and lets you pepper enemies with a bipod plus the rate of fire gives a good guestimate of when to stop firing and reload before firing off the last bullet then go through a lengthy cycle, plus its one of hte few LMGs i think i never seen it over heat, atleast BF5 LMGs and MMGs will have a heating meter
+Jacques “Hanzel” Cilliers The low weight variant has a quicker recoil recovery rate, meaning it'll reset to its original position faster allowing tap/burst firing to be a bit more accurate than the others
Ebola-chan Ye, but the main perk of the gun is still useless. You're better of with the suppressive version which gives a clear sight picture (if you put magnification to the lowest setting), better aimed accuracy, double the magazine size and a bipod.
Watching this and listening to the attention to detail and realism they put into the game really makes me sit and think; wow.. cod sucks ha! Good video
Not as bad as the Kolibri, lol. (This thing's still a piece of crap after the buff. Still loses to most other LMGs 1v1 and the MG15 and BAR invalidate it)
Tichondrius1 the suppressive variant is easily the most underrated gun in the game - just used it and kicked ass. its a mid-long range beast - i preferred to switch to my sidearm in close quarters tho

The Lewis gun is very slow to kill and needs a lot of bullets to drop someone. That's why on close range the gun preforms poorly your more likely to get killed
PATCHED 01/2018: Max damage - 26.5 up to 11 meters, Min damage - 20 at 50 meters [4-5 bullet kill], Spread Increases, (Low weight + Suppressive) Horizontal recoil - 0.24, (Optical) Horizontal recoil - 0.211
Lol can you tell us if they nerfed it or buffed it?
they buffed it hard along with all supports
(don't forget they added a bipod to the low-weight.
rubberwoody is that mean the lewis gun is doing the same damge like all the lmgs? (accept the chauchat)
The flametrooper from bf1 Is going to toast u no it's the worst support weapon ever!!! 🤧
I really wish on the suppressive versions of the LMGs you could swap the telescopic sight for the AA sight.
whodaman777 or the iron sights
That would defeat the purpose of a suppressive lmg, just use the low weight version
@@sircharlesross537 well, the AA variants IRL used the AA sights of the in game Low Weight, the foregrip of the in game Optical, and the extended magazine of the Suppressive
one of those guns you shouldnt be good with but still manage to wreck squads with. No idea why it works for me
Randall Lobo same makes no statistical sense but it's actually amazing and kicks ass
Yep
Randall Lobo too bad because not for me xd
imo it could use a damage buff at least for closer ranges but same its my favorite mg in bf1
Randall Lobo Yeah, been noticing a big increase in the amount of times I see people use it.
“Issac Newton Lewis” his parents named him after the scientist?
This gun has always been my favorite for holding down an objective. I found it to be deadly before the patch and even more deadly after the patch
Wow this is actually really well done comparable to more popular bf youtubers, bravo you deserve more youtubers 🅱️
i like the optical version, its really good for medium-long range, and the hip fire is pretty good too.
How were you 5 years ago did you accomplish everything you would have wanted to do in 5 years or has nothing changed?
I like the order you do this in; one weapon fir each class. That means you don't need to wait too long to see the class you want.
really well done! I've been wanting to play support correctly for a while, and all though I know the basic information, having the stats on screen while it's being summarized is pretty helpful.
idk why but this gun fells op when I use it despite its poor stats.
Fuze Ace cause bf1 devs suck
I love the lewis gun.
Me too

A gun shooting a 303 british round shouldn't be so weak!!
JAYMAG Brownstone yeah true in real life one shot from a lewis gun could seriously mess you up
You guys forgot about overpenetration of full powered cartriges with unarmored targets
But you will still kill with a body shot or headshot
@@chris5306 In real life every weapon will mess you up with one shot.

Just subbed. Great videos, with in depth analysis, informative comments and a nice touch of history. I love it!
This is a god gun on Argonne Forest and Amiens
Yh
Quality content on par with Westie and Drift0r.
With the new patches, this thing has become really enjoyable to use and it’s really good to defend objectives.
I gave the lewis gun another try and it's now my favorite weapon on bf1
Cool! Thanks for responding. Really means a lot Kris
I use the suppressive varient. I use shoot until I know what I am shooting at is dead. Plus that bipod allows me to lay down tons of fire on snipers

I recently switched from Assault to Support class and I absolutely love this weapon.
I recently got a good weapon skin for this (The Yells) and that’s why I use it the most.
best skin - The rattlesnake
Dayum dude what a fucking analysis! Great job! Ty
Would like to see a revised video comparing these older guns to the new ones.
The t21 in the Star Wars battlefront looks a lot like this gun
they used a lot of old ww2 weapons for the movie/game, the t21 is a lewis gun without the drum on it
ok
Just went 26/8 with the stock Lewis on Ballroom Blitz. It's an absolute beast.
THIS IS THE NEW BAL-27!!!
The suppressive is the best variant for the Lewis Gun in my opinion because it's a suppresive class so the variant does what most gun in that class are meant to do best, only better.

I've sniped with the Lewis low weight
Great video! could you do a review on the Gewehr 98?
+Gregory Dippold I'll hopefully be doing guides on all BF1 weapons, so the Gewehr 98 guide will be out at some point, in the not too distant future
Nobody uses the regular iron sights. :/ Those are great sights though.
The lewis gun was my main for good reason lol
I love this gun...it's a laser beam.
My favorite gun in battlefield 1.
I'm the best in the world ranked 1 with the optical Lewis gun. It's a great gun.
So the "optical" version is just iron sights that are open and actually doesn't have any optic?
Demon50 no the optic is a red dot lense
mg 15 na suppressive or lewis supressive..hunker down and rain hell on ur enemies
thankbyou for the great video
whats the best magnification for this gun
Shouldn't the firing rate be 550rpm?
i wanna hear you say something poisitive about the huot automatic
Does anybody think this gun feels like the u100 ultimax from bf4. I do because the gun had low firerate like the u100 and has low damage.
Does it recover 67% faster or does it take 67% less time? You say 67% faster at 4:55 and 67% less time/200% faster at 5:06. Many people on youtube mix up speed and time reduction while they are not the same thing. A 100% speed increase equals a 50% time reduction.

Ah ok! You are a hero for making these guides AND deserve a medal for getting your mathematics right! XD
+KR BLACK Cheers buddy, glad you enjoy them :)
Y I just bought the season pass and I have watched most guides three times now. XD
which variant has the better optic, optical or suppressive?
suppressive has a scope optical has a red dot type lense
I actually like the lewis gun as a general purpose LMG, its rate of fire gives it great control and lets you pepper enemies with a bipod plus the rate of fire gives a good guestimate of when to stop firing and reload before firing off the last bullet then go through a lengthy cycle, plus its one of hte few LMGs i think i never seen it over heat, atleast BF5 LMGs and MMGs will have a heating meter
Is there any reason I should use the Low Weight/Factory version over the Optical? I couldn't notice any benefit to it.
+Jacques “Hanzel” Cilliers The low weight variant has a quicker recoil recovery rate, meaning it'll reset to its original position faster allowing tap/burst firing to be a bit more accurate than the others
KriticalKris Ah. Thanks!
Which isn't great, since LMG's gain accuracy during continued fire in bf1.
berwwtje The bipod takes care of that.
Ebola-chan Ye, but the main perk of the gun is still useless. You're better of with the suppressive version which gives a clear sight picture (if you put magnification to the lowest setting), better aimed accuracy, double the magazine size and a bipod.
this weapon likes like a weapon in Battlefront EA
The T-21? Well, that gun is based off of the Lewis Gun.
this is the best feeling lmg for me
Imagine if there was a trench version of the Lewis Gun 😳. BTW, I got my 250th kill with the Lewis Gun today 🥳.
No Canadian/Vimy Ridge recognition ☹️
The Lego Seraph ikr hands down one of the most important parts in ww1
I thx the Lewis gun suppressive for getting the plane kills I needed to get the parrabelm
This thing is my bae 400 kills I use the supressive one as a sniper
I love this gun alote
Doesn't it look just like the T-21b from Star Wars Battlefront?
ahhhhhhhhhh thanks man. makes sense
All the guns in the star wars universe are real world war 1/2 guns just modified for the star wars universe
Teacher: what did isac newton do?
Me: lewis
Teacher: what
Me: what
Wish I could stand in the open shooting enemies and not get sniped or naded like wow🤣
1000th like haha was 999 when i came here
Good to see I'm a fucking gun
Watching this and listening to the attention to detail and realism they put into the game really makes me sit and think; wow.. cod sucks ha! Good video
so sad this is superior to the hout automatic
I hate using this gun sooooo much
*Emu War flashbacks*
One word. Underpowered
LOL at weakling who couldn't get the grenade in the window at 2:02
Cameron I know, pisses me off when it happens to me though.
Hands down the worst BF1 weapon atm.
It got buffed in the last update so it's not quite as bad as it used to be anymore.
Tichondrius1 got 4 service stars with it i love it
Not as bad as the Kolibri, lol.
(This thing's still a piece of crap after the buff. Still loses to most other LMGs 1v1 and the MG15 and BAR invalidate it)
Tichondrius1 the suppressive variant is easily the most underrated gun in the game - just used it and kicked ass. its a mid-long range beast - i preferred to switch to my sidearm in close quarters tho
