Aim assist bug, to drive pc players away ?
Hi everyone, On receiving end it's quite obvious that console players are really stronger since patch 1.2, but a feeling is nothing. And i started to look around to understand if i were right or i w...

Many of these people are actually using a M/K which is going through an emulated controller device which is programmable via software/scripts to eliminate recoil. The game sees a controller even though the player is mouse and keyboard. Anticheat doesn't detect this because it's done in the emulated controller hardware and can be programmed outside of the PC runtime (or even on another PC). I would link a video showing someone doing exactly this. But since it might be against ToS, you'll have to look for yourself. It's a hardware cheat.

A key point here is that those external devices provide a workaround to get KBM+aim assist+30% v.recoil reduction for either PC or console players.
What has long bothered me is that back in the BF4 days one of the Dev's (jjju?) came on this forum and took a pretty neutral stance on those adapters. I'm not sure how well considered jjju's response was back then or if he(DICE?) holds the same position now.
I suspect a number of these instances where PC players are getting smoked by console players is less of a problem with aim assist and more of a problem of KBM+aim assist+the v.recoil reduction intended for controllers.
@AngrySquid270True. They aren't just providing anti-recoil. They are also providing aim-assist for m/k including snap aim and tracking.
