I play on PS4, deciding to give this game a next chance.I play mostly Fleet Battles Ranked. Lobby is usually on my team 1-2 PS4 users, everyone else on my team and enemy team is on PC.PC players are destroying PS4 players every game. PS4 players just quit after 2-3 minutes of non stop death.So do I and I don't give a tiny rats a$s about any penalty.Please fix matchmaking EA!!

@alexz3 Your complaints are not remotely constructive. I swear there is always a guy like you that is seemingly always on that last straw until that next complaint. Turn the game in already or delete it.

PC players don't have any benefit over console players in this game. I do just as well playing on Xbox One X as I do on the PC, no matter if I use a HOTAS or a gamepad on either (that said, I do very poorly when using keyboard and mouse, however). My friends that play excusively on PS4 Pro and Xbox are usually doing very well, too, on their own or flying on my wing.The only thing that I could imagine may have a little bit of an advantage is playing in Virtual Reality, be it on the PC or on PSVR (sadly, Xbox doesn't support VR so far), but I can't confirm since I don't have a VR headset yet, as you'll be able to look around (hopefully Track IR support will be added at a later date so non-VR users can also experience this) and be more immersed in general.Most of my random matches have 1-2 PC players, while the rest are on consoles. I'm in central Europe as well.I never abandon any matches either, even if we happen to get shredded. Defeats are a valuable lesson that one can learn from and get better. If you always quit out of hopeless matches, you'll never get better.By the way, if you only want to play with like-minded Playstation players, you can always turn crossplay off.That said, perhaps if you'd have spent the time you've use to spit venom at PC players in these forums to practice and actually become better at the game, you might see that it's all about player skill, teamwork, knowledge of the game and - to an extent - connection quality and not which platform they play on. Or maybe the game just isn't for you.

@Cave_Waverider VR gives You better immersion in the game and huge plus if You playing on Empire site You can look under or over the instuments to see enemie 🙂 I use HOTAS and Oculus Rift S and I cant imagine play this game other way. First time i "sit" in X-Wing cockpit was my childhood dream come true 🙂

I've won matches on the Xbox One X using the Xbox One controller with a Kill/Death Ratio of 25/1 (my best K/D ratio on PC was something like 26/3 by the way). The opposition was mixed PC and console. I've played on the PC (with HOTAS and controller when I'm on the road and on my laptop) and got completely obliterated by a bunch of console players as well. I learned from it and got better. I usually do a little bit better with the controller as it's easier for me to aim with it for some reason, although I do love the immersion of the HOTAS so I prefer it. My friends play really well on PS4 Pro as well, often excel my performance when I'm on the PC. Matchmaking in this game is often bad when good players are matched against bad ones, but it doesn't have anything to do with the platform you play on (except perhaps your location/connection to the server). Please stop claiming otherwise, stop quitting games, play, learn and get better. Or just quit playing the game if you don't want to put any effort in to get better.Stop being blinded of your apparent disdain for the PC as a gaiming platform. Crossplay is what will keep this game going for a long, long time. It also allows all friends to play together, no matter which platform they have, which is a wonderful thing.

You realize that you can turn off cross compatibility and play ONLY with console players right? If you're that butt hurt about it. Edit: Also, joysticks are superior to tiny thumb sticks on a controller for piloting aircraft. That's why they are in aircraft. What do you want people to tell you? You have the option of playing without a joystick, that's your choice. Welcome to life.

I abandon 90% of my games and I don't care

@Imperialish Yeah or they can fix match making. Winning or losing 25 to 5 is just not fun.

@ShimmerHorizon there is an icon next to the players name in the leaderboard, PS4 players have a special icon vs PC players. Xbox i guess would be the same.

@CHAMMOND1992 ok i'll make it more constructive because it seems its too complicated:

- disable Crossplay by default on Console
- fix matchmaking to put players of same level range in SAME game

clear enough?

@eegah01 exactly, players base is shrinking because many people are leaving the game due to horrible matchmaking.

@Cave_Waverider I disagree. PC players are more prone to having a joystick than console players and are probably more used to flight sim games.

VR, yeah a tiny advantage to look around but you usually end up looking ahead anyways.

ALL my games are in the opposite ratio (90% PC players vs 10% console). I should take screenshots of everygame to prove it.

PC players usually have a KD ratio of 10:1, Console players in all my games are the opposite.

I don't learn anything from flying, seeing an enemy and boom dead. Repeate 20 times, try coming form different angles, etc, nothing works you just get blown up in 2 shots while your lasers are fully emptied on a TIE fighter that doesn't die.

Crossplay OFF on console, I have tried and since launch I have found ZERO games. Perhaps waiting 2 hours for a game is ok for some, not for me.

I understand the game and the skills needed to be good, but as you said its not for me. Spending more $$$ to get a joystick or buying a PC to be decent, no thanks. I'll go back to SWBF2 where I am really good at all game modes, including the starship one.

@Imperialish And PC players killing console players 20+ times is not spoiling anything?

And its not just me getting killed, its the other poor console player on my team vs 5 PC players that gets destroyed as well and just wants to quit the game.
