Flatlines bullet velocity is too low
I believe this is exactly why people are using R-301 instead of Flatline and this was the reason why I switched to R-301 as well. Flatlines recoil or bullet drop are not the problem, but bullets trav...

Recoild isnt that bad, after playing with Havoc for a while I trully didnt notice any recoil with Flatline :D (Ive spent few hours in practice range and in matches with both.).
I think if EA/Respawn could give the flatline same bullet speed as R301 has, then R301 would have a nice rival.
Its just hard to track with Flatline when targets are moving unpredictably.
They are literally dodging bullets.
Havoc on the other hand has that TC problem,
what I would suppose to do with Havoc is to keep it warmed up after shooting for a while,
so you can peak and repeak those pesky R301 players. 🙂
Maybe like the more bullets you shoot the longer it would stay warm so people cant abuse that and just shoot one bullet before peaking.
Energy ammo is very rare so people couldnt afford to shoot 2 mags into wall before every fight anyway.
According to Bearmeow's TTK spreadsheet, Respawn had very slightly increased the delay between bullets on the Flatline. The 1 damage nerf per bullet should have resulted in a 1.04s ttk vs Purple shields but it became 1.10s now. Flatline originally had 0.96s ttk vs purple shield before the nerf.
