These weapons have ruined the game. It had taken all skill and fun out if what could have been a cool dogfighting skill based game. 5 people just com and ping targets and you are dead faster than you can say wtf. Why did they do this? Yea you can puck a higher dps aim weapon but its futile when 5 guys with auto aim targets you. If all weapons were aim based you would have a much higher chance even with 5 people of you if you did maneuvers and speed. This is just game breaking nonsense to give what ? Children a chance? Or people insistent on using hotas an easier time at aiming? Worst decision ever.

@AdamChattaway Yeah seems like a way of giving lower-skilled players a handicap, but when I watch the kill cams I'm usually killed at such insane distances and even when I'm at high speeds perpendicular to the attacker, making for shots that would be unbelievable if done with manual aim. I'm still resisting the urge to use them, because deep down I know those players will never actually get better at aiming because they don't have to practice aiming.

The game is a shell with no support that's the problem. I wish there was a hardcore mode with no in flight assists turned on and no auto aim weapons that would be amazing and realistic but the devs wont support the game or make new content, as they keep saying this is all we get. i can't believe we don't even have a NON ranked fleet battles so we can pick our faction like in dog fight.

Kill cam are misleading. The angle of guided aim is not as big as what kill cams makes you believe it is.I realized that when I saw a kill cam from an interceptor (who can't have guided weapons) but there was angle from his shoots, so I assume it's some lagThat said I completely agree there's a problem with guided weapons, especially the imp version of bomber rotating guns

I was an imp bomber with rot guns and over and over a y wing head on always killed me. Even when i followed him shooting in back they just did nit bloody die. I assume this might have something to do with shields. I just wish this game was pure aim as the simulation it likes to claim it is should be.

Weapons with auto aim sacrifice half the damage. Anyone using it auto-loses any head on shootout.

@MKh501 I think it has its place in the game, as a stepping stone for new players before they get skilled/confident enough to aim without it. After that, it becomes a liability.

But, YMMV.

I use a pc with full HOTAS and I don’t see any problem; but I’ve turned all assists and hud info off before my first flight.

im more confused how matchmaking is fair if one side use all the assists and the other side doesn’t. That shouldn’t be matched in my opinion.

Not a great game mechanic these gimballed weapons, really takes the skill out of this.

i dont have any of those issues and i always evade. i mean just like in the movies the starships auto aim to the target. its not really an auto aim its more of a short radius laser lock on. have you not seen star wars. think the game needs some work but i think youre just mad because you cant stay alive. i dont have that issue. gotta be aware and smarter than your opponent.

I switched over to fixed weapons now and the game is soo much more fun and rewarding, getting that high dps hits feels good and when you have a tough dogfight and manage to kill him after chasing for a min its good. auto weapons are just crap and should be gone or do even less dps.

@court_jester77x That's the whole issue in a nutshell. Bringing a bomber class to a classic dogfight should be treated like bringing a knife to a gunfight- inevitable loss.
Bombers should be exclusively viable in fleet battles where there are crucial in taking down onjectives yet depend on their fighters and interceptors to stay alive. Nothing wrong with some self-defense, but trying to make bombers competitive in a pure dogfight setting is just blatantly stupid. Doing so by adding auto-aim weapons is even more /facepalm worthy.

@AdamChattaway just finished a match and i got my * handed to me again by a rebel team and 3/4ths of all the kill cam shots were of the slow moving Ywings and Support craft all managing to nail my frail as glass interceptor as i flew ACROSS their field of view.

It's a pain in the * to see their lasers just bend off target and kill you when you're practically off screen.
