Why can't i compare weapons?

You got a fresh new soldier for your favourite squad and want to get him a nice gun. Oh, i need a new gun, luckily you have silver orders laying around and unlocked some nice stuff.

Now, going to the logi to get a new gun and- wait, what gun should i pick? And there it starts, how do you compare guns to eachother?

Of course, you either pick and painstakingly look at stats until you find a gun to your liking. Which isn’t helpful at all and takes too much time for a simple buy. Doesn’t help that many guns either have the same damage stat or same recoil or same rate of fire.

Would really like to have some sort of comparison tool at hand in the logi, helping with the decision.

I mean, we have already a practice mode, so why no comparison tool?

select soldier and click on its gun. now just switch between guns and check values.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I MEANT! You have to manually check the guns and look at the stats without anything to compare!

Instead of just checking a box to compare, no, you have to scroll up and down to find the good gun. And try to look at the sights, can you tell me you can aim good with it? No, its too far away for that.

not like anything matters with weapon stats ingame… there are lot of hidden modifiers so values that you see ingame could be all wrong. game would be better served with an arsenal in practice where you could try every gun.

That would be perfect, but alas, this is not a perfect game.

here is table with hidden weapon recoil, so you can compare it… check by campaign.
