Disable everything BUT red aim square/aim assist?

[Kreddi]

Me and a buddy wanna play through Authentic, but we can't get the experience we wanted through customizing difficulty.
We want every aspect of the hud gone, except for the aim assist when you are scoped in and holding your breath.
But, as far as we can tell, the minimap and bottom left right are tied to the same option as red-square-while-holding-breath.
Could anyone help or clarify?

That's not true, there's seperate options in the custom difficulty settings for minimap and HUD elements, however, if you are playing authentic there is NO red square aim assist. That's just part of authentic difficulty, you could always leave the difficulty lower and make everything else more difficult, like the enemies agression and responsiveness and other things like wind/gravity.

Hmm, I'll have to look over the settings again then!
We want to play on authentic, but we also want the red square to help out with the long shots.
The minimap is simply waaaay too strong and so is tagging.
So it should be possible to remove the minimap and stuff like healthbar and ammo, but preserve the aim assist?

Only my friend, the host, has the difficulty changes applied at the start of the game?
When another player joins he still has the minimap and hud, while the host is the only with his game changed as if he was playing authentic plus.
Is there a reason for the difficulty only affecting the host?

Note that I have made my own lobby where I changed my settings to match his. If I host I'm the one without minimap, but he still has his.

If this is really the case that would be crap. Hope they fix that.

Don't be a d*ck. I myself prefer playing normal mode but i don't like having the minimap enabled all the time, takes away from the skill, knowing where everyone is all the time. However i don't want to have to deal with bullsh*t like wind and stuff (especially since there is no actual accurate representation of wind in-game like trees/grass/flags blowing) so i don't play authentic.

i agree the red aim asist is a must for long shot or even short ones as without it the only way to know you are on target is to shoot and see where bullet hits that on the highest level is madness as if sound is not masked you are dead

Sorry me and my friend don't feel like spending hours to even be semi-consistent in hitting shots further than 100 meters.
Anyways, if you had been paying attention my mind has been set since before I made this post.

After I send in my support ticket I got one reply, but then I was met by silence after I did as was asked. I just opened a second support ticket in the hopes that it will work out this time.

Um the guns let you adjust the range on them using Q and E keys when in scope mode.

You can check ranges by using Binocs on enemies before hand. Then just adjust your scope to the correct range, and adjust for wind.

Its fairly easy to hit targets at any ranges now, no more mindlessly aiming 3 feet above an enemy and 2 feet to the left to hit them like in SE3.

After some play you wont need red square:)

I play on authenitc plus and I can tell you, I have abouve 50% acc, half of that is headshots, a lot of time I have 66% and I do not shoot only static players(talking about solo survival)

You just need to practice and it will be easy and you wont need help aim.

My tips:
Put scope range on 100m, shoot enemies up to 150, the best is 100m, dont try shooting those on 200m, except sniper, because its very hard to shoot someone on 200m+, (distance and wind)
Dont shoot running enemies(left or right), wait for them to stop.
Practice on shooting range.
Use the "best" sniper rifle: ZH-29:)
And dont use supressed ammo.

Some good tips with one rather glaring flaw...
"dont try shooting those on 200m, except sniper, because its very hard to shoot someone on 200m+"

1. It's a game about sniping!
2. It's called Sniper Elite!
3. It keeps track of your longest shot as long shots are encouraged!
4. One achievement is a total shot range of over 100km!
5 That achievement is called "Keeping your distance"!
6. It's a game about sniping! So important I had to say it twice!!

I'm not sure what else can be said really...
