Ranged is really suffering at the moment, with the heavy melee focus of the game, and the damage and heat nerfs, together with general increased survivability. Still, what surely frustrates a lot of heavy weapon players all around is that there are so many double railings on the maps, making bracing there useless. They become effectively dead zones in which heavy weapons can't operate. I say can't because while in them, unbraced, you can fire all you want into a jumppack but you'll get killed before you kill all else being equal.

It hampers the defence of every map but harkus, and many points are full of them. It just makes the heavy weapon users even less useful, and they're already at the near bottom of the ladder right now, if not there already.

Every suggestion about changing melee/shooting balance in EC have my support.

What really sucks is that there are maps with spots obviously designed to be overwatch spots but due to the double thickness wall they are unusable. The windows on the left side facing out towards A from B on Zedeck come to mind.

Or the entire top level of C on refinery olipsis, or the outer wall of A on the same map.
Most of the outer wall of Agnathio.
Half the wall on A and C on Torias.
The outer wall on Zedek facing A, or indeed, half of it facing outwards.

And so on, and so on. It's everywhere.

Yeah, let's talk about bracing. You know some weapons can't brace at all? Some classes can't even shoot down at all if there's a railing in their way (railings are the natral enemy of swooping hawks. Why tho? WHY???).

For instance, dark reaper's tempest launcher would be a good weapon of it could brace at all. There are just way too few spots it can actually fire from simply because they can't brace at all.

This is a change to increase range that I would definitely support. I totally dislike clipping in any game but I would tolerate it here (and don't think it would be super noticeable) for the sake of gameplay.
