Console players
Anyone else think console players have an unfair advantage? I've seen videos of people playing on console and even with a mouse and keyboard setup. Still have the auto lock and track function in RB mod. I do and I'm tired of playing against them.

I've wondered about this too. Why do console players get aim assist in RB? Either level the playing field, or stop with cross-platform gaming.

Cross platform is great for PVE or MMO type games where it's beneficial. PvP it's not as it just gives console players a handicap and advantages over PC users.

Yes they have access to target lock and tracking in ground RB, if it doesn't give an advantage then it should be allowed on PC in ground RB.

plug in a controller...you literally get a blank slate and then it becomes slightly unplayable (as if the company thought about people doing this)

Plugging in the controller does not unlock target lock and tracking for use in Ground RB for pc.

To be fair, the tracking isn't that much of an advantage. I can track as smoothly as the tracking, so if you as a MnK train that a little bit, you can do it just as good as Controller players.. so it's putting them on-par in my opinion. What they should rework tho, is that you can track Helicopters and Planes through literal mountains, rocks and buildings. But again, most of the time you can just follow their audio.

So is this how unstabilized tanks can shoot you so quick even while they are moving ?

Tracking doesnt influence your barrel, it only keeps your camera right at them, depending on terrain your barrel can still jump and down. Its just timing to shoot in the right moment.

was thinking same . Should be removed. They can use keyboard and mouse as far as I know. So they have to or don't let them use aim assist

it doesn't seem like an advantage? locking your camera to a target? why would you want that over just you know, looking? probably harder to corner peek and the like.

and your aim speed is limited by the turret rotation not really your own reflex so i dunno, just doesn't seem like it matters in any way? sounds worse even

It is when they don't even need to see you to lock and track. You could behind a building or a hill and they'll lock onto you.
