What is your suggestion?

Change RU shotgun to 2 round burst or shoots both rounds at once. Remove the funky timing with clicking.

How would this benefit the server?

RU shotgun has a funny mechanic where you have to time your clicks right to shoot the second shot. Now, this by itself isn't an issue.

The issue is high ping / low tickrate. Due to this, sometimes the shotgun doesn't even fire on the second click. You just end up standing there with a delay before you can shoot again.

So, make it a 2 shot burst - should come out to same fire rate.. or have it shoot both shots at once before pumping.

I'm not going to 1+ cause I'm not RU anymore but that's the reason I transferred to white battalion as a Joe Partisan, my high ping coupled with the fucky timing mechanic made the gun unusable. Id lose every gun battle if my opponent had any other gun then the RU shotgun. Id be sitting there clicking trying to time it and %75 of the time id only get one shot off.

+1, I'm former RU and I have to admit the 'double shot then pump' mechanic is interesting but doesn't really work. It also sucks greatly if you find yourself only needing to shoot once and then forget (You'd be surprised how easy it is for that to happen), and when you find yourself with a new threat you try to shoot twice but it only fires once before pumping. You pretty much have to shoot up in the air to make the weapon pump manually.

I'm not RU nor have I played it recently but I +1 because it sounds super frustrating

+1. Playing as RU feels like poo with the two click mechanic.
