Make "hip" fire more accurate on all guns.

I think the way hip fire is now is really crummy. Most guns will splatter out bullets in a huge circle cone its not even accurate. Only a few guns have accurate hip fire like the burst weapons... I find this to be making no sense since if all guns had better hip fire control (for use mainly closer range) it would be more realistic. I mean you can shoot accurately with a burst fire gun but if you tab hip fire with an inaccurate gun the bullet goes no where near the crosshair. How is this making any sense? One gun can be shot strait but the other cannot. Like the WINGMAN "hip" fire is literally impossible to hit someone even close range and I think that is wrong it should be the way it was but bring up all the other weapons to its level in the hip fire department.

    you should still be able to lay down a solid bullet stream... on point or off to the side or in a random location around the center point of the crosshair and then control it from there... 

    Point blank with WINGMAN no aim down sights? yeah how hard would it be to hit a target up close even 10 feet away its a little too nerfed in my opinion. 

    All guns need cooler hip fire controls right now it feels sooooo freakinnnn LAME.

    no absolutely not, hipfire is supposed to be bad and not very accurate because you aren't aiming

    Hip-fire in this game is incredibly accurate, especially if you compare it to other games. The hip-fire in this game is equal or more accurate than hip-fire in COD games with the "steady aim" perk equipped. It's accurate while moving, jumping, sliding, etc. and provides a lot of mobility while shooting in contrast to ADS'ing which slows you down significantly, especially when using LMG's. Accuracy should always sacrifice mobility and vice versa. Only arcade-y games like OW or Halo, or games that have a giant focus on mobility like Warframe should have accurate shooting without ADS.

    Eh? Strange logic that you think balance is achieved by making all weapons accurate in hip fire, regardless of the characteristics of the weapon. If anything, I think hipfire with certain weapons is just slightly TOO OP. A decent player can 200-to-0 a guy in one mag (1-2 seconds) when spraying with a R99 in hipfire, even in "semi-close" range. Same with Prowler with Select fire etc.

    Im the first to admit that I was really sad when they nerfed Wingman accuracy in hip fire since that was my favorite way of playing the game (at one point, 300 of my total 500 Lifeline kills was with pistols), but when I think about it objectively, its so obvious this was a necessary nerf. I wouldnt mind if they nerfed shotguns just slightly the same way, i.e. making the spread slightly more compact in ADS, just like the Mozambique.
