Just some friendly advice
I thought I’d make this post to give some helpful and friendly advice since it seems some of the devs have never actually fired a gun. First, keeping your crosshairs on target while moving side to s...

If I'd have to give some friendly advice as well, it's that this game isn't meant to be realistic. Battlefield was never realistic. So if they were to change it according to the things you've mentioned, it wouldn't be Battlefield at all. It'd be more similar to Squad or ARMA. So why exactly are you asking for this?
I disagree completely. Battlefield used to be the more realistic game and CoD was like an arcade game. Did you ever play any of the early BF titles. Other than environmental destruction they were very realistic. I’m asking for a little more realism because if I wanted to play CoD I’d just play CoD.
Yes, I've played all Battlefield games.
You know why Call of Duty was seen as the more arcade game? It's not because Battlefield had absurdly realistic gun handling physics or damage calculation based on the caliber of gun. It's because Call of Duty had smaller maps, faster gameplay and most importantly it had health regeneration. Something that was quite controversial at the time.
These comparisons to Call of Duty as usual lack any substance. If you actually start comparing them properly, you'll see that while there are certainly similarities, there are also many substantial differences. If older Battlefield games were realistic, then try to explain why the Project Reality mod was developed for Battlefield 2. It wouldn't even have a reason to exist if Battlefield 2 was all that realistic. If you wanted realism at the time, you'd be looking for games like Operation Flashpoint.
I think we need to recognize that the legacy of the Battlefield franchise doesn't just include Battlefield 1942 and 2. It includes all of the Battlefield titles that followed afterwards as well. Battlefield 6 shares the most similarities to Battlefield 3 and 4 and is honestly a pretty good successor to it.
No game is completely realistic but they had much better balance. Caliber and range of shot mattered. Moving affected you ability to keep crosshairs on target, no jumping and shooting, bullets dropped and distance shots were difficult. I compare it to CoD in the way of smaller maps and rate of fire with low recoil is king.
