No. There is a variable in the coding for aim assist. On PC that value is .4, and on console it is .6. Console has stronger aim assist than PC, with lower FPS being the reason given.
PC stands for personal computer, not "Always Playing Above 60 FPS". I also don't believe aim assist on consoles is set higher because PC's have the capability and/ or ability to run higher frame rates, I would find that odd if true.
I don't know why Respawn chose to have two different aim assist settings directly, but in my opinion I think it was just marketing in the end of things, I'm being totally honest here.
Casual gamers are the driven force with any so-called "Free 2 Play" title in terms of profits. It's also widely accepted that consoles have more casual players than PC's because they are easier to maintain /setup.
So in my eyes the extra aim assist is basically keeping everyone happy, so people spend more. Video games are a for-profit business at the end of the day, nothing to do about integrity or being fair.
I'm not at all saying all casuals and/ or profits come from one location, just saying the majority of people that spend are on consoles and Respawn just wants to keep them happy.
- hayhor4 years agoHero@Popa2caps I actually believe the original thought was lower frames and quality is the reason for higher console aim assist but it wasnt because of PC. There was no crossplay when this came out. It was simply due to poor console performance in general.
- pandareno19994 years agoHero+@Popa2caps Unless I'm greatly mistaken, this is exactly the reason Respawn gave for console having a higher AA value. It's not my opinion.
- CCbathwater4 years agoSeasoned Ace@pandareno1999 It all just boils down to... crossplay is a terrible idea. At least with PC.
- hayhor4 years agoHero@CCbathwater It isnt tho. It allows friends to play together. Issue is people need to blame something for their deaths. Aim assist is an easy target.
- Eshshshss4 years agoSeasoned Ace@pandareno1999 Next improvement - give 0.6 AA for all PC players on M&K who lock their framerate to 60 fps via game launch option 😉

I don't know why some console players believe PC= 120 fps or something, hardware specs vary a lot. Half the people in my friend list get 60 fps like me, I find it incredibly daft.
It's not even 60, I have it set to max 60 but in fights it's 45-55.
