Cow mangler bug

I recently noticed there's a bug or another hidden downside to the cow mangler. With the normal rocket launcher, when you shoot a rocket, it comes out of the side of your screen your viewmodel is on. With the original, it basically comes out of your crosshair. All of the unlock rocket launchers for soldier also shoot rockets that come out the viewmodel side of your screen.
I noticed, however, that the cow mangler rockets come out way closer to your crosshair than stock rocket launcher/black box rockets do. The reason this needs to be fixed is that it messes with muscle memory, specifically when jumping. I haven't noticed an impact in combat but I wouldn't be surprised if there is one.

It shouldn't be removed for this reason, it should be removed because the projectiles are hard to see/dodge.

I won't comment on whether it should be in 6v6, I'm just reporting the bug.

They're easy to see but it's hard to judge their position when they're coming towards you.

to specify even more, its VERY easy to see the whole particle but hard to judge just where the actual "rocket" of the projectile is from you

What bugs me the most about the projectile is the actual explosion since the script that removes it doesnt work for cow mangler. You eat a direct and you get fladhbanged for a second it's awful.
