yeah, well with any other weapon (except rocket), (on stock) you have to do all of the above (lean, strafe, etc.) AND aim at the shotgun guy's head to have a chance to kill him before he kills you.
In he end it's just a dumb game and nothing that any of us say really matters in the real world.
On a side note, I'd like to see certain people on these forums get drafted, and try to insist shotguns are better weapons than ARs:
Iraqi with AK-47: "What is that idiot doing running up street going side to side"
*pow, pow, pow*
American Lieutenant: "we need urgent medivac, that idiot (insert name here) ran right into an Iraqi ambush!!!"[/quote:d596d]
That's the beauty of MOHAA, it IS a game. I'm sure no one is stupid enough to get out in the real world and run around like that.

I know.. lol.. it's a game.. Sucks we can't just have fun all the time using the weapons we so please without some cheater like Juggersnot coming in and crying about our choices. annoying people jees..
Personally, I really have no real problems w/ shotguns. I play in a lot of clan servers, and I haven't encountered many shotgun users, and the ones that I did suck. Nothing like killing a shottie whore w/ a pistol. I do think that the shotgun takes some skill. When I first started playing the game, I totally sucked w/ the shotgun (partly because of my gay internet connection back then).
My real problem lies in rockets. Besides its amazingly slow reload time, it really has no distinct weaknesses. You get close to one, they shoot at the ground and kill both of you. This is the weapon, not shotguns, that I feel requires no skill.
I basically tried every weapon, and am currently using the Axis Mauser (rifle) the most. This, in my opinion, is probably the hardest weapon to master, especially in close quater stages like Stalingrad.
You get 6 rockets in the standard game - to survie long enought to use all of them takes skill like any other weapon in the game.
bottom line: just cause u suck at shotguns and what not, doesnt mean we need to hear u bitch about it. i personally dont like shotguns, but if eveyrone else is going to use one i might as well.
Actually.. If everyone else is using a shotgun. You might aswell use an SMG or something.. Just sit far away someone and pick them off one by one as they try to get into range and reach you.
Yeah Stuff, I usually try to do that, but when all of a sudden 3 are coming at you, you realize that you are screwed. I guess it depends on which map and how well hidden you are.
