Weapon Attachments Info Incorrect

Question

Product: Battlefield 2042Platform:PCPlease specify your platform model. PCAMD or Nvidia Model Number 3070Enter RAM memory size in GB 32Are you using any software with an overlay? NoWhich part of the game is the issue happening in? Game MenuIn which game menu were you when the bug occurred? AttachmentsPlease select your region North AmericaOn which server did this happen? AllWhen did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) AlwaysSummarize your bug All attachments and their descriptions need to be overhauled and corrected. For example, the PKP standard magazine states it is 300 rounds in the tooltip for the attachment, but while in game it is only 200 rounds. Many other attachments have these issues as in saying increased accuracy in the description but a -5 accuracy in the visual graph window.How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Look in the attachment tooltips and compare them to your internal data, then adjust the actual descriptions to reflect what the attachments actually do. What happens when the bug occurs? It is impossible to quickly and easily determine what attachments actually do as we cannot believe anything we see currently. That is annoying to say the least, in a shooter game where all of the customization comes from weapon attachments.What should be happening instead? We guess.‌Most weapon attachments give the wrong info either in the description, tooltip, or visual graph.The entire attachments area needs to be reviewed by your team and actually corrected to reflect their proper values and functions.

Do I need to go through and collate all of the incorrect attachment information for this to get attention?

Ok here is a list I'll keep compiling until I hear back. Please remember this is not going to be a complete list even when finished as I have no way to actually tell how much firepower an attachment actually adds. I can only report the mismatched info in the tooltips.
Please also note that we have no clear indication of what the various listed stats actually mean. For instance Firepower seems pretty straightforward to just be bullet/weapon damage. But what about Accuracy and Handling? Various attachments list +Accuracy and - Recoil Control, and show a corresponding +Accuracy on the graph but -Handling. Other attachments list +Vertical or Horizontal Recoil control, and - to the opposite, but the graph shows only +Accuracy. Please give clearer definitions of these stats on this screen.

G57:

-GAR45 Suppressor: Lists -Effective Range in text but shows no change to Range in Graphic only a decrease in Firepower.
-Close Combat Mag: Lists -Effective Range in text but shows no change to Range in Graphic.
-Close Combat Extended Mag: Lists -Effective Range in text but shows no change to Range in Graphic.
-Subsonic Mag: Lists -Reload Speed and -Projectile Velocity, and the Graphic shows -Range and -Handling, should Handling be included here? This is a normal sized clip.
-Close Combat Drum Mag: Lists -Effective Range and -Reload Speed and the Graphic only shows -Handling.

Updates to follow as I have more time to not be shooting people.

There is also a problem with some weapons that when you equip some magazines the stats of damage rise by 5 points only visually.

ex: enter in attachments, damage is 35, select the magazine, damage goes to 40 even if the magazine is the same you already have. When you go to scopes it come back -5
