The visual recoil on some weapons is over the top ridiculous. After a few minutes, it literally makes me sick to play.
What are we doing here? Why was this done? Who asked for it? Please list the players by name. I have not seen one streamer, content creator, EA Friend, Reddit poster, forum poster, Discord member ask for more visual recoil.
I think I’ve adjusted to the new recoil.
My advice is to start a Coop/Solo game of Redacted Breakthrough.
Here you have walls to shoot on, thus you can see how you are managing the recoil by looking at the bullet holes in the wall after shooting at it.
Try with different distances, different barrels etc., different guns.
Then test yourself killing AI soldiers with difficulty set to Advanced.
You’ll learn how to manage the recoil of your chosen gun this way.
How can weapons feel a little better? Its shaking so much when ADS/shooting... I play support class, and pkp/rpt-31Lmg'a are awful. I hope they will revert to this if no one likes it anyway; everyone is complaining.

But cmon, you get some great stuff like this, even with a bipod:

Pretty incredible.
I agree that the visual recoil is over the top, I have no idea whose brilliant idea this was but hope he is ignored in the future. This needs to be reverted asap.
Just tested recoil again with various weapons types and scopes.
Overall, this is not a good improvement and should have been left well alone.
Dice’s aim was to provide immersion and make the guns feel more meaty.
They’ve done more than that.
They’ve made the guns feel unstable and less accurate.
The degree of visual recoil also seems to vary from weapon to weapon.
The DMR’s seem to be the most effected, with scope jitter being more pronounced and bad.
And these weapons are supposed to be accurate marksmen rifles!
Sniper rifles are affected but it can be lived with due to the low rate of fire.
AR’s seem to be less jittery and accuracy can be maintained to a degree.
The harassment on your eyes from this unrequested recoil change is real - especially with some guns like DMR’s. Gave me eye strain.
I would heavily be in favour of this all being reverted back to the way it was.
Dice would do well to concentrate on addressing things that need addressing and not waste their time on things no one asked for.

I never liked DICE labeling the recoil change as being only 'visual'. I wish DICE would just come clean and say they're changing weapon accuracy as well.
This is my thinking as well. I don't think this is a simple visual change. I suspect they are laying groundwork for additional parameters for DDA shenanigans.
This is just screen shake, it's not "visual recoil". If that was the case, only the weapon entity would move on my screen. Right now it looks like the crosshair, screen center, weapon asset, and full screen all move independently from one another.
Again, what are we doing here? No one asked for this.
They need a setting to reduce it like they have for other effects that make people sick. It is an instant headache for me after a few minutes of gameplay.
