question about console aim assist since patch 4

@l_Grand_Vizir_lno idea about your proxy sensor scenario. I don't think the aim assist would track that at all so I think it must be something else.

On the general aim assist I'm still not really feeling it. I've not used any snap assist in years but in the slowdown assist I'm really not feeling much help. My aim is miles worse than previous BF games and I certainly don't put that all down to the aim assist. I'm playing much less and the controls in general just feel worse(excluding aim assist) which is much more the problem.

Edit - could the prox sensor be getting destroyed by Irish's gadget? Never used it so don't have a clue.

Good thread I must start to say here. I'm on Xbox series X. I feel that Dice has done something with the aim-assist. From absolutely no aim-assist 95% of the time to aim-assist 50% of the time. Within those 50% the assist differ from super strong to super veak. I suspect that it can be possible to shoot things down from the sky when the assist works om max, but this should only occur in like one out of ten. For me the inconsistencies in the assist is really frustrating. Personally I prefer a balanced assist al the time, not super strong sometimes that makes it impossible to choose targets and absolutely nothing sometimes. 

Aim assist only works against player models that are 95% exposed.

Aim assit doesn't work against gadgets (turrets, rangers, spawn beacons, nades).  Aim assist also doesn't work at longer ranges. Aim assist doesn't work against players in LATV4's or Boltes.  Aim assist doesn't work when using vehicle weapons.

At its current state BF2042 aim assist still feels 10% less effective than BFV and BF1.

Thanks for your kind responses

I've read a lot about problems on aim assist since launch, and every time it remind me the problems we have with mouse and keyboard, especially on inconsistencie.

I agree about the servers problems that create weird things, and false hackusations.

That's why i didn't jump on conclusions first time i've seen it.

The point that really makes me questionning is the proxi sensor shots. Angrysquid explain that aim assist is not working on gadgets, ok it may be designed in this way. But i'm realy surprised to see it happens. I didn't count, but i may have seen it around 6 or 7 times since the patch.

And i'm not talking about a player in full auto with an LMG who send 200 bullets and sometimes hit something, but about short bursts especially acurates.

Reading lionking7001 on inconsistencie, it might be a very specific point, maybe snap aim scenario... i really have no idea.

I don't have friends on console to do tests, but it's hard to believe i'm the only one who have seen it.

If someone witness the same thing it might be a good idea to investigate. If not i'm the unluckiest player ever.

I tried the game again after a couple of days break. Like always the servers consisted at least of 80% Pc-players with M&K. My experience with controller on Xbox series X? Horrible!!!! 

The aim assit is utter garbage...  doesnt work 80% of the time.. the only time it seems to work is medium ranges if the target is not side stepping or sprinting and I dont move. Then it will snap aim...  

This isnt the only issues console players are dealing with. Framerate is all over. I don't have a vrr tv so its insanely noticeable. 

While playing against mnk and PC players running at twice the framerate.

Dice needs to remove PC from crossplay or limit them to the same resolution and framerate.

Or 

Just have crossplay between consoles.

Aim assist is still completely broken.  I have it at 70 /20 and it’s still very inconsistent 

I knew from my readings in the forum that controllers have their problems like M&K.

From PC side, Dice worked on it and M&K seems better, but we still have problems and we still suffer from strange false mouse inputs... Soo i guessed it was mostly the same with controllers.

My question was most about the variations. When a system fails, it usually do something garbage.. but it may do a miracle.

@erickonasis32  I don't know anything about your settings on consoles, "70/20" you can adjust different levels?

In this case it might be impossible to find how to reproduce what 've seen.

On M&K i have seen on rare occasions my shot do weird lucky hit, and thought: "hum, thanks Dice the hitmox is a joke or the server is laggin but from here i thought this shot was a miss."

Soo i asked myself, do controller users have sometimes this feeling about aim assist, like "it's borderline working 99% of the time, but one shot over 10000 is godlike".

Ok all of this discussion wouldn't change anything about the game, we would prefer a stable system i think we all agree.  This is more a philosphical question, to undersatnd how it works.

Thanks you all guys for your answers.

Framerate on PC is really bad too. My PC is 4 years old but still decent (I7 7700 / GTX 1070 / 32Go ram), it runs well most of the games i play with, except this BF. All on lower graphics 1080p i have huge frame drops and 128 players is unplayable for me.

In BF2042 most PC players have really low FPS and can be compared to last gen consoles. Some PC players have an advantage but most of the time it's not as huge as you seems to think.

But yes, if you get a 5000€ PC from daddy and internet with optic fibre, you will score a lot and claim that you have more skill than others on Twitch...

It's another subject, but i've read that the guys from Dice who created the Frosbite Engine at Dice all left the studio slowly years after years. And now Dice struggle with their own engine... Don't know if it's true mbut it seems credible.
