Yes, shotguns are now much more often killed, the winchester is even not bad now, so it not need a be improved. But double-barreled shotguns are rubbish because they are now short-range double bolts.
Look at this poor guy, he shot me in the face from 2 meters away and did no damage.
This is nonsense.
Shotguns should terrorize all living things at close range.
They used to have a UNIQUE gameplay, you could kill up to 5x per shot, it was fun and in balance (you still have to recharge a few seconds after two shots, so there was no problem catching the player reloading).
Therefore, I suggest to return their characteristics from the time of the beginning of the OBT!

I hunt big game in Tunisia with my drilling: Desert rats. 
Really fun to use. Certainly not better than a m1 beretta, but fun. You must ads with it to be effective though.

Honestly, if there’s one thing I’d like to change with shotguns it would be the addition of zoom.
Some people may not agree, I understand, but why should smgs have it and not shotguns?

If with a submachine gun \ machine gun you have the right to miss, then with a double-barreled shotgun - no.
From any smg you can kill a squad for a magazine from a double-barreled shotgun - no.
Previously, you could, with luck, put a squad down with one shot and it was fair.
Now this is impossible, and therefore double-barreled guns are very boring and not very useful.
I also have fun playing with a nagan, but it doesn’t stop being useless junk.
why would you need zoom? It’s such a short range weapon that zooming would in fact hurt your performance. It’s better to have lager situational awareness thanks to larger fov (no zoom) than tunnel vision with it. You can’t snipe anything with those anyway.

I think all weapons should have it. Although I am concerned about the fact that a fighter loads a double-barreled shotgun with two rounds if there is only one, and in the end you can still shoot only once.
It wasn’t. Didn’t made any sense, too, this ain’t a zombie shooter where shotguns are as powerful as 75mm HE shells…
Now you must aim, and not miss it’s true… But that’s the beauty of it. I main bolt actions so I’m used to it. It really feels like hunting: if you miss your prey, it skeedadle (or kill you in Enlisted)
Also, think about it… with all those older gen console players coming from games such as cod or bf… you really want to give those bunny hopping kids a “no skill required” weapon?

I just want to see the good old TOZ B, with which I could crumble the Germans up to 100 meters.And at 10 meters to crush the crowd.
This is much more fun than using PPSH.
This game is already not realistic in many ways, a good and interesting class of weapons should not suffer from this.
Console players are more often crooked, but PC players are no better.
Somehow I often get headshotted by the Toz. M30 is okay but maybe its my skill but it feels way less accurate than before.
I see shotguns at one player in 10 games…
Because I simply find the current ads with shotguns pointless. And the zoom could help you with mid range shots, as shotguns are actually capable of those right now.
And i myself just like it.
Edit: Also, as for situational awerness, I myself only ADS when trying to take a shot (or lining up/ searching for targets long range, where the zoom helps), and immedietly remove it afterwords. So for me that’s not a concern at all.
The spread went down by a good bit, which means that when you do hit a target they are more likely to take more damage, but you are less likely to score a partial hit if your aim is off center. Basically, by increasing the accuracy its now more lethal, but has lower hit odds at short to medium ranges.
Also, depending on how the game handles labeling a kill as a headshot with a multiprojectile weapon like a shotgun, headshots would be expected to be pretty common, since there are a lot of chances for it to happen with a given shot.
As for overall performance of shotguns, I’d really love to actually have a zoom. The way they work right now just feels disorienting compared to other guns, if nothing else. They’re decent weapons at this point, and at the right ranges can get double kills, which is fun, but damn does the lack of zoom throw me off.
il approve with this if lmg nerfs are reverted to what they used to be. So much fun doing 360 backflips bursting ppl mid-air across the map.
