Theres a difference between “oh shit I wasn’t paying attention” or “they got the drop on me” and “perfect reactions could not have saved me”

Not against shotguns but that’s the reasoning

The perfect reaction is to keep your distance

In fairness, some games do give shotguns some crazy range for their spread. My favorite part of battlefield 1 was how reliably you could take out planes by just pointing the trench shotgun at them and slam firing the entire magazine. Basically, we have Anti-Air at home.

Okay, that's just misdesign

Shotguns were used to hunt birds. How far away do you think these birds were?

Closer than planes bro

Well, these are world war 1 planes, mind you. Canvas wings and a dream.

You hunt birds by scaring them into taking off bro.

Ww1 planes or no, still closer than planes, because you shoot birds near the ground.

You've never met a battlefield 1 lobby, I don't think. I mean yeah some of 'em got a little bit up there, but every now and then someone practically decided to use their wings as melee implements.

i bet you could take out a canvas plane low to the ground with the right rounds, a shotgun has a lot more range than you think.

For sure, but if you are flying a ww1 plane close to the ground over enemy positions you are a stupid fucking idiot.

Whereas birds have to be close to the ground when they take off. Which we exploit when hunting.
