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...

@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

    @SolitaryMassacre
    Because I’m talking about sniping with it. Knowing the bullet drop helps, but if you can barely see the enemy then it doesn’t really do anything. Sure, you can spam shots, but that’s really just going to be less effective than if you just used a sniper or any other gun that can go higher than 2x sight.
    Also, G7 has a faster RPM, by the way.

      @Sir_Named But in my example, both guns don't see the target any better than the next, if anything, the G7 iron sights can't see crap. I don't disagree that using any other gun would be better, but when scenarios like I explained happen, the wingman usually has the upper hand due to ADS movement, hit power, etc.

      Yes, the G7 is very slightly faster than the wingman. You are right. It sure as hell didn't feel that way lol.

        @SolitaryMassacre You make a good point.
        But to be more specific, if you try the same thing with their max sights, (at sniping range), the G7 might not move as fast, but has the edge on the Wingman since it can actually see the target fairly clearly.
        The Wingman can strafe and spam, but it will miss a majority of the shots.
        The G7 would slowly strafe, but has a much, much better chance of hitting the Wingman user. Plus, the G7 can spam slightly faster and generally more due to the mag size and rate of fire.

        This is specifically for sniping though, I don’t deny that the Wingman will be just fine at mid range.
