Question: would tuning down all TTK help?

So hear me out. We are playing on 45Hz Tick Rate servers, but there are too many weapons (vehicles and aircraft included) where the TTK is faster than the server's tick rate. This causes most of the ...

    Hard to say because of the netcode...I did a vid a while back about the dmg counter being inaccurate, and I know you're aware of it too. The simple fact that the counter rarely adds up to 100 make me think the server is deciding who won the fight based on a formula rather than skill in some cases. (oh and adding a plate doesn't change this) Sometimes I have time to move, sometimes I don't which tells me the lag compensation is screwy. Making it take 10-12 rounds to kill someone just exacerbates things. The server is still going to make the choice. Maybe giving players more HP??

@Adamonic I honestly don't know if it would help much. I have a feeling needing to take an extra shot or two could make balance even worse, especially between (what I understand) of console players with the relative inaccuracy of a controller vs a mouse. Where sometimes it doesn't seem to make sense how many bullets it takes to begin with, adding an extra 1 or 2 could make it worse.

I honestly don't have a good solution though that isn't using higher tick-rate and fixing the netcode so that the packets/bullets aren't getting bundled and calculated to determine what happened. But I'm not a programmer/network latency designer/etc.
