VSS/AS VAL Buff and Subsequent SP-6 Nerf… was this necessary?

Can anyone else agree with how frustrating BSG’s decision to buff the VSS’s and VAL’s recoil and later nerf the only good 9×39 round that’s accessible at early stages is? I’m only level 23, and this past week I’ve had some fun with the 9×39 guns. I stockpiled SP-6 while I was offline and ran VSS and VAL when I wanted to spend some money on a kit (like my very rare Labs appearances), and it quickly became my favorite caliber. I’ll admit it was a bit overpowered thanks to the recoil buff of 9×39, but is it really better to make a caliber basically unusable at a certain level rather than more difficult? With the way SP-6 is now, you can’t dump 2 30-round mags without the gun’s durability dropping to unusable levels, effectively making my favorite guns totally useless until Prapor level four, something I may not even reach this wipe. I don’t see the point of buffing the recoil, which I feel affects low-level players more, then make the only good-penning amp available to lower-level players unusable?? I would prefer this gun have 50 vertical recoil fully built and SP-6 be usable than for it to have 35 recoil half-built and only usable by high-levels. Nikita pls give us SP-6 back.
-Yes, PAB-9 can be crafted at workbench level 3, but even this requires so much work to get to AND is extremely expensive since it costs SP-6 to craft it. Just to use my favorite gun without guaranteed death.
-Also if BSG wants 9×39 to have lower recoil but nerf SP-6, why not nerf recoil specifically for SP-6? I would be okay with this since it leaves 9×39 still usable at my level without being overpowered. Anyone agree??
