Please add manual leaning to BF6

The way leaning works now is very clunky with the auto leaning and it barely works. Even when it does work it may force a player to lean when they don't want to or just throw off their aim as it activates randomly. So many good mechanics were brought back from BFV so I don't know why proper leaning was left behind.

Games like Insurgency Sandstorm let you manual lean after you ADS and the click on the left or right stick to lean the direction you want on controller. Right now it feels clunky and less immersive to stick my whole body out to peak around a corner. I don't want to rely on a wall being there to just have the option to lean. What if I want to pie up some stairs or the wall I was using gets blown away? 

The Battlefield aesthetic feels like a gritty conflict with realistic elements in a video game that can be fast-paced and tactical as well. Sticky my soldier whole body around every corner feels out-dated, clunky and out of place with the vibe of the setting. Also, the lean can be implemented in a way that it's useful but not something that can be spammed by snapping in and out of.

I like how the auto peak let's you look over cover so not everything in the world needs to be conveniently crouch level height. So it would be great to add more authentic feel with a solid manual lean available as well. Mounting a weapon to a corner would be awesome to increase stability as well, kind of like how COD does it. All of these actions would really increase the feeling of being an elite soldier rather than some goof who doesn't know how to engage in a gunfight.

Hopefully the developers are listening. The game feels a bit incomplete but so close!
