Aim assist does not do any of the things you said. It only slows the reticle down as you move it over someone and very slightly rotates if the person you are aiming at moves. It will not track for you. If you don’t move the reticle then when the person moves they move out of the aim assist window. I play on both console and pc and the recoil is the same. I have also used a mouse to test this and the recoil patterns are the same for both. It does start to slow your reticle through smoke but only a fraction before the smoke becomes see through. It will not work through full smoke or caustic has or windows. This video shows exactly how little help it gives. Just enough to allow a controller to be viable. https://youtu.be/diXs-4Qa0PI

@Mr_Mi5ch13f_2 What I saw in this video you linked, was a guy who could very quickly lock onto targets, due to slowed reticle that extremely 'gravitated' to enemies, that made it really easy to shoot the right direction.
This made it super easy for him to stay on target while the game shifted his aim left and right, and all that was required from him was to vaguely push down to completely remove recoil (as its slowed down, he doesn't have to worry about going off target) and aiming within the reticle tracking.
I don't care if consoles have this, but this makes it extremely easy for decent controller players to stay locked on target, so when you compare it to mouse and keyboard, its a huge advantage to aiming. And aiming is the single most important thing. If you can aim well, you'll win nearly every fight even if someone can move better than you.
