Aim assist snap actively avoids the head.
Aim assist does not work beyond 100m.
I suspect most of your outlier console players are using a KBM adapter to get the reduced recoil + aim assist slowdown while still using a mouse. I suspect there's some PC players doing the same. Set the gun up for best possible H.Recoil control and use macros to zero out the V.Recoil.
Your experience is more likely a result of this grey area cheating rather than over boosted aim assist.
I wish DICE would take some steps to address this problem. I'm not even sure they see this as a problem...several years back one of the Devs (jujuju?) responded to a topic on this very board where he took a very neutral stance on the issue above. I recall even one of the board moderators was defending the KBM adapters.
