The bullet drag nerf was a bad change for snipers

Battlefield 6

It has been some time since the gunplay update and I can say that the bullet drag nerf was a bad idea.

The increased bullet drag hardly affects sniping until past maybe 200m. However no sweet spots are in that range and sniping is generally hard past that point even before the nerf. The drag nerf have made sniping almost impossible at very long ranges while doing almost nothing to the ranges where snipers dominate (70-200m). The only relevant nerf to snipers were the sweet spot nerfs and the limb multipliers. The drag was completely unnecessary. If velocity is too high, then they should have just removed extended barrel.
