Shield Aim Down the Sights Animation

[Xcho]

Ubish*t has yet to fix this known problem where you as a shield main aim down the sights with a pistol, even for 0.0001 millisecond, your entire head is exposed and whoever is aiming at you can get a clear headshot at you meanwhile from your perspective it looks like you just stopped the animation before you aimed down and exposed your head.

There is your issue. You are using the shields wrong though in general if you are staring off at an opponent and you lower your shield, use cover to weave in and out, strafe whilst ADS'ing. This isn't a problem with Ubisoft, its a problem with you being too incompetent with a shield operator you can't understand the fundamentals.

amazing. you ignored everything I said just to say "get good" as if I dont know how to play operators Im complaining about. This isnt "they shoot me before I can aim", its "even if I hover around right mouse button and click by accident for a literal nanosecond, my entire head is out in the open when it shouldnt be". Go check the newest video by jager himself too. First 15 second clip and you can see the problem here. Siege has kept the animations probably from the time when shield ads was actually good and they never bothered to fix it

Sure its a game issue - but you should be adapting to it. If you know that ADS'ing will immediately expose your head right now, adapt to not doing it whilst its not fixed???

You would think they would fix it considering the fact they had that whole rework focused around shields but they didn't even address or touch on it, hence why I made this post. Im already used to it but saying "just work around" when its clearly a bug I would consider operator breaking which could be fixed by slowing the animation just doesn't sit right with me.

And what exactly do you want any of us on the Steam forums to do about it? If you genuinely think this is a bug - report it directly to Ubisoft, I can almost certainly guarantee you they do not have an active team who check Steam.
