Still not improving on console
I just do not understand. I think 1 year has passed since I made a similar thread, and yeah, I am still as bad as I was back then. Tried different things, different settings, different button layouts...

It's very hard to know how much of what you're experiencing is objectively bad aim, and how much is respectable aim that just isn't good enough to make you feel like you're accomplishing what you want to accomplish. I will say this though: sometimes the problem is gun skills, and sometimes the problem is knowing when to not shoot at an enemy. Are they too far away for the weapon you have? Are all three targets clustered together so that aim assist prevents you from hitting any of them? Most importantly, are your teammates also at the ready when you start shooting? Because most downs/kills in this game are assisted whether you realize it or not.
Lastly, k/d has meaning, but it is not the final metric to tell you whether you're a competent player or not. A lot of hacks like me have a high k/d because I manipulate the number, and a lot of very solid players (good team players with higher-than-average win rates) sit right around 0.9, 1.0, 1.1. As you do.
One thing that you shouldn't do (I know because I do it, and I hate that I do it, and I know it's foolish and unrealistic) is watch pro player streams, or worse, youtube videos. You will see things there that will make you feel a hundred times worse about your performance, things that you will never be able to replicate if you played this game until the end of time. It creates unrealistic expectations and frustration to the point of hyperekplexia. Don't watch that garbage, and if you have to then don't believe half the things you see.
Oh, and you can't use a controller to do what m&k players do. That's another unrealistic expectation. Pick your platform and then make what you can out of it, but don't go controller and wonder why you can't achieve 90% accuracy at double the specified range of the weapon. You just can't.
