Is there any gun you use the compensator on? It seems like a useless attachment.

The flashhider is imo better in every way since it conceals your position and horizontal recoil doesnt bother me on any gun. Also, on those classes that have it, the silencer outperforms it as well. So why the compensator?

Because it helps with recoil

But only horizontal recoil? Imo the recoil grip is way better for this since it reduces the veritcal recoil. While you can then only spend 1 point to conceal your position with a flash hider instead of wasting 2 extra points?

Compensator is better than recoil grip. Vertical recoil is manageable with good mouse control, horizontal not so much.

THe only gun with really bad horizontal recoil is the LMG the m240b. Other than that it's flash hider all the way.

But I never have issues with horizontal recoil? Maybe on LMGs but theyre always on a bipod. Other than that not a single gun.

Firing LMG´s without compensator is like holding a firehose, the thing goes wild!

I think the effect is much more noticeable when you're hip-firing, but hip-firing is not really practical. I never use it tbh, it costs a lot and it's a waste of points.
