@GRiPSViGiL If you think it's better in BFV more than BF3/BF4 you would be in a small minority, but you're entitled to your opinion.
@TankerFlankerI am fine being the minority but it absolutely is. Re-installed BF4 recently and it's clear as day. The random spread that BF4 has is atrocious.
BFV bullets have weight. You can feel the physics of firing the weapons and what you expect the rounds coming out of the barrel to do. BF4 has nothing of the sort.
- @GRiPSViGiL Well seeing as it's been about 8 years since BF4, and I would say BF1 is still better than BFV and it has better immersion.
@GRiPSViGiLAccording to Symthic:
"While the recoil pattern itself is fixed and non-randomized, vertical recoil, horizontal recoil, and spread converted into recoil are imposed atop this system, creating a slight variance in the pattern, which increases with sustained fire with submachine guns and assault rifles."

So in a nutshell, there are random elements included in BFV gunplay as well. You are correct however that it is entirely different than the RBV (random bullet deviation) that DICE was using in previous titles...
