Ok, now I'm practically new here. I've read many forums before but I haven't actually replied or contributed to the conversations about game balance. Im basically a lurker. But I guess it's finally time for me to come out of the shadows. I...would consider myself a magnum pro, maybe not a legend, but I am able to do flick shots ( arched shots where I press Spacebar and the z button at the same time and I release Spacebar at just the right time to get a direct hit from over a wall, to a faraway enemy etc.) constantly and accurately. Sometimes without even looking at the angle and power, I can just feel that it will hit the target. I've had no big issue with magnum. I've experienced the troubled of being the only medic in a team while enemies are coming in from left and right and 2 enemy magnums sitting afar blasting shots into our cramped base. The only thing I don't admire is the amount of "unlucky" shot damage the RNG sometimes give me for a direct hit. There were times when It gave me three 1100-1200 damage direct hits in a row when the max cap is 2000+. Seeing it get "nerfed" was a bit demotivating for me but I went on before the server update to play with the pre-nerf magnum one last time. After the update now. In terms of my play style which is mostly strictly 'direct hits only', I love the new magnum. I like the fact that I get a penalty for pissing out a shot at almost point blank range. With my playstyle for magnum, this change makes me be more alert so I can pick off Lone Wolves or a small group fast using the premeditated 100% charged shot. I have seen success with it so far and I would love to hear what feedback other magnum users and/or haters have to say about the change. :)

Ru having so many more members than the other factions and the fact that this is "War" made me think of the Soviet Union lol
