The Question of Aim Assist
Okay, I'm finally putting this here, because I am really, really at a loss. How powerful is the console aim assist? From my POV, it might as well be a legalised aimbot. Currently, I have to resort...

Console users basically now have snap aim assist and it’s beyond comical now!
Don’t get hoodwinked by these console players the aim assist is on call of duty levels now!

Snap aim assist was always working in BF2042. The update fixed an issue with the slowdown bubble and I perceive no changes with the snap aim assist.
This level of snap aim assist also existed on PC servers for BF1 and BFV did you find it comical then too?
Snap aim assist is often a hinderance. Players are better off without it. Two big issues with snap aim assist 1) It doesn't really allow you to lead targets 2) It often gets confused if there are enemies standing together.
Here's three popular Youtuber's sharing their recommended controller settings:

Do you notice any trends with their recommendations on the snap aim assist setting?
Oh how the turn tables.
Srsly though, aim assist is slightly below BFV levels now. It's finally working.
Do you know why most people play shooters on PC because it's fun to combine eye hand coordination with many different inputs and get better and better. I will never understand why people play on shooter gamepads, the input is just not set up for it and why do consoles not have standard M&K support for shooter games.
And if I would play for 10 years on console and then get killed by every monkey because the game assists you so much than you do yourself, how are you supposed to differentiate yourself from other console players if your own skill is worth less than taking advantage of the assistants.
Look at Apex/CoD what is slowly happening, people who played M&K before connect a worse input (gamepad) to their PC to be better than with M&K. I hope in the future console and PC will be separated again and the gamepad support for PC discontinued.
It's not about crying, but imagine something like that would be transmitted in real sports, that would be a disaster.

They have aim assist in bowling called lane bumpers.
