Feels like I am a second behind the other players!

[Fluffy]

In 70-80% of games I am clearly a second or so behind the server.
If people are shooting me I am already dead. I constantly die behind cover (as I died before reaching it).
Shooting people one on one is a waste of time as it is taking well over half a clip to kill anyone. They have to be really bad (or have the same issues) for me to kill them.

Then when I get a good connection it is like playing a different game. People drop when I shoot them, multiple people killed per clip and I can run for cover while been fired at.

How many have this issue?
With the people I game with I reckon maybe a third of us have this.

For the server you are dead before you realize you are being shot at.

For Battlefield 2042 is this gamemechanic normal.

You want the kill? Than attack from side or from behind.

Just been back on now.
Same again. Well over half a clip to kill anyone.
So many people that I am shooting at can just run away as not enough bullets are registering to kill them.
This is a game breaking issue that many are having.

so it's a connection issue. . . i have a stable connection, that's down to the ISP and running Ethernet not WiFi

I have 4ms delay only and everything you mentioned happening to me everyday

I have constantly 40ms on every server and like 95% of the time don't have these issues, so your connection must be really bad.

Play via the classic server browser and try to find matches with best ping for you.

It doesn't matter what delay you have. Because if enemy has higher delay - you will die behind cover. Its called ping difference or network lag/delay.
Usually normal developers implement network lag compensation methods,but not bf2042. Combine poor server quality and you will got what you have.

The reason why you need half mag to kill someone is because in recent updates they tone down weapon accuracy. Now when shooting long range (above 25m) your weapon has big spread even if you controll recoil perfectly. Same applies to close range as bullet spread no longer hit in one point.
Try playing with AK,BSVM or this new season bullpup gun. They have lowest spread on distance.
