Fix Wingman

12 bullets in the wingman is so terrible, needs more bullet drop at distance, and needs higher damage drop off at distance, making it a hand cannon but not a sniper cannon. The wingman is ridiculousl...

I agree and disagree with this. The wingman is very overpowered weapon when you hit with it, but that's the thing.. its REALLY hard weapon to constantly hit somebody with. Specially in long ranges its hard with the bullet drop. Maybe i could cope with the damage drop in long distances as you're right.. in the end its a pistol, but if you touch at medium distances (50-150m) you risk of making that gun the worst in game. It needs that high damage effect to be useful and i don't feel like wingman should be treated like a close quarters pistol as its so hard to aim with + the fire rate is very low. Its the medium range which makes it good, so please whatever you do DO NOT touch that range.

@Rouni_99Plus, even using it at longer range is difficult, as the most you can get on it is 2x,
I’ve tried to snipe with it, it is very difficult.

    @Sir_Named Maybe for you.. But its really not that hard. Use the gun long enough, understand its bullet velocity, and you can place your shots pretty easily with a 2x or even iron sights (do it all the time) I hate this gun. It needs a bullet velocity nerf, needs to be slower so long range shots are MUCH harder even after getting used to it.

      @SolitaryMassacre For sniping? It’s not just bullet drop, it’s the fact that 2x does next to nothing. The enemies are tiny dots, you can barely see them.

        @Sir_Named Why are you so bent on sights man? Every time we get into a convo on wingman you always talk about sights xD

        A G7 vs a Wingman with no sights on each, that "dot" you speak of will be dancing around like crazy for the person holding the wingman. Wingman does 45 dams, G7 30. Rate of fire is way faster on the wingman. You can easily hit the person holding the G7 because of ADS movement speed, the wingman will be harder to hit because there is no ADS movement speed. Its not all about sights. In a ranged situation, a G7 should have the upper hand, but it at most times does not.

        Adding much more bullet drop would mean the person would have to aim in the air quite high to have it hit the person with the G7 - a much better scenario
