I second this, don’t take away the option here. I like the overwatch as is. Some of my soldiers do wide, some do narrow… Just depends what and where they are watching.
As for pistol overwatch it’s not exactly an overpowered thing. They are only accurate at certain ranges, and given you have to invest skill points to pick it up, it’s not truly free. If that 0 ap overwatch was tied to the weapon that could be.
