Hey Guys, Fog of Gaming and welcome to modern
warfare season 5.
Today we are going to take a look at one of
the brand new weapons for call of duty.
The iso smg is a short range beast, it’s
a 9mm sub machine gun with a rapid rate of
fire but can it replace the mp5?
For that we will have to check out the stats.
First of all, you can unlock this weapon by
reaching tier 15 in the season 5 battle pas.
Then start grinding in multiplayer or in warzone
to unlock all the attachments because this
weapon definitely needs it with a standard
magazine capacity of only 20 bullets, you
can clearly see the limitations of that magazine
in this gameplay file.
The magazine size can be improved to 30 bullets
or to a 50 round drum magazine, but you have
to ask yourself, is that worth it in multiplayer,
because there is a penalty on the ads time.
The iso has a rate of fire of 860 rounds per
minute which is slightly better than the mp5’s
rate of fire of 800 rounds per minute.
However it cannot deal as much damage with
36 for headshots, 25 for torso shots and 22
for limb shots.
For info, the following numbers are valid
for multiplayer, so we are dealing with an
enemy with 100 health.
All of this results in a time to kill of 140ms
for headshots, 209 for torso shots and 279
for limb shots.
You will need 3 headshots to kill or 4 torso
shots or 5 limb shots, and all of this is
valid up to 16.5 meters.
Beyond that, so from 16.5 until 22 meters,
you will need 209 milliseconds to kill with
4 headshots, 279 ms to kill with 5 torso shots
and 349 ms to kill with 6 limb shots.
It doesn’t end there because from 22 meters
until 35 meters, you will need 209 ms to kill
with the same 4 headshots, so there is no
change if you go for the head at this range,
you will need 349 ms to kill with 6 torso
or limb shots, so their values are now the
same.
At 35 meters you will encounter the iso’s
last damage drop off point, and from here
on out you will need 279 ms to kill with 5
headshots, 419ms to kill with 7 torso shots
and 488 ms to kill with 8 limb shots.
At some point you are going to have to reload
the iso, this is going to take you 2.236 seconds
which is pretty good because this number is
very similar to the reload time of the mp7
with 2.210 seconds.
The ads time of the iso is slightly worse
than the ads time of the mp7 or mp5 with 179
ms compared to 176 and 174.
When we then take the iso with us to a private
server for a bullet pattern test, then you
can see that the basic bullet pattern initially
goes up but about half way through your magazine
you will get the pull to the right.
Compensating for this is not hard at all,
and you can easily get a very tight bullet
pattern.
One of the biggest downsides of the iso are
the iron sights.
It seems way too big, and the 2 parts on the
left and right cover a lot of your screen,
not to mention all the clutter in the very
center.
It does not make your life easy because there
is hardly any space anymore to actually show
the enemy you are trying to kill.
Sure a seasoned player can easily deal with
that but still, there is way too much going
on in the area where it matters, which is
the very center of your screen.
If you ads directly on an enemy then you will
be fine but when you are facing multiple opponents
then you will struggle, because you can’t
really snap on to a guy’s head if you can’t
see him in the first place.
I had a great time with the iso in multiplayer
but it does lack a punch and if we compare
this weapon with the mp5, a weapon that we
all know then you will see why that is.
As you know, the mp5 has a faster ads time,
a slower rate of fire and a slower reload
time of 2.798 seconds vs 2.236 seconds for
the iso.
However, it can deal more damage, 49 for headshots
vs 36, 34 for torso shots vs 25 and 30 for
limb shots vs 22.
This is a very big difference to be honest,
and the iso cannot compete with these numbers,
not even with it’s higher rate of fire.
Time to kill wise, the mp5 will outperform
the iso with 150 ms for head and torso shots
which only requires 3 bullets to kill, and
225ms for limb shots which needs 4 bullets
to kill.
The only way to outperform an mp5 with the
iso, is by going for headshots only, because
then you will beat it with 10 milliseconds.
In all other cases, at least at this range,
you will lose the fight, at least on paper.
Unfortunately for the mp5, it already has
a damage drop off point at 9.5 meters, lucily
the headshot time to kill stays the same with
150 ms but the torso time to kill will go
up to 225 ms because you will now need 1 extra
bullet.
The same is valid for limb shots and now you
will need 300 ms to kill.
The second damage drop off point occurs at
18 meters, which means that the number you
see here will have to be compared to the iso’s
initial damage stats because it only has it’s
first damage drop off point at 16.5 meters.
So from 9.5 until 16.5 meters, the iso will
definitely outperform the mp5.
I could share all the other stats with you
but I will save that for the comparison video
of the iso vs the mp5, it’s more important
to share the moral of the story, the mp5 will
sometimes outperform the iso and vice versa,
it all depends on the range because they all
have different damage drop off points.
So in certain situations, depending on the
range, one weapon will be better and the other
one will be worse.
If you decide to use the iso, and the rest
of the server is using mp5’s then you will
be able to compete with everybody as long
as you keep your distance, you know that you
will not have the upper hand in the first
9.5 meters, so don’t let anyone get closer
than that.
I am still gathering all the stats for the
attachments and and if you subscribe you will
be the first one to see those in the ultimate
weapons guide for the iso which will focus
on warzone.
It’s a very interesting gun and it definitely
has a great potential, but how great that
potential is will depend on all the attachments.
I will soon start streaming with the iso and
with the an 94, you are more than welcome
to join me there so that we can check out
these weapons together.
This was fog of gaming, thanks for watching
and I will see you in warzone.
