Yes console players will never be able to compete on the same level as PC for various reasons. The only “advantage” console players have is basically a cheat getting a targeting selector for aircraft when playing as SPAA allowing you to have wallhacks/track without stick movement on CAS.
They can get close by connecting keyboard and mouse, which puts them on a pretty even playing field disregarding performance and customisation differences
Mouse Aim/Instructor.
Come fly ASB instead. Nobody gets mouse aim or instructor there.
Some of the best players (ItsButters, ROKSTAR) fly with Xbox controllers.
Do you want to show me what you’re describing?
And that was the end of that
Same for PS
As a PS5 player who’s been playing console for 6+years, I personally haven’t seen any “disadvantages” from playing console. Apart from the keybinds the other dude talked about which you can fix by just binding necessary keys and double dipping with other controls that aren’t meaningful. The only way I’ve lost to console players is simply just to my skill issue and the “wall hack” is genuinely nothing in today’s meta because most radars will pick up targets after like one scan regardless. So no, console players are not at a disadvantage when compared to PC. It’s simply just a skill gap between players which should be expected with any game. I’m sure someone’s gonna think I’m lying out my ass so you can always go check my stats in statshark.

That’s one of reason why CAS players are scared of consile players, they can lock planes which are hidden in the cloud, or behind the trees, don’t need to keep their eyes on the sky, just push the button and then lock any kind of air targets
not how it works

Just need the target in your screen, and then it will lock, like Naval
it needs to be reasonably close to the cursor something like +/- 30 degrees, it doesn’t snap to everything/anything in your FoV

I played in a Ps4 2 years before, ppl could get into battle much faster. Also, sound mods help hearing cuz vanilla sounds are garbage.
Anyone claiming ‘console players get auto-aim — it’s basically official cheating’ isn’t worth engaging in a real discussion. They’re just manufacturing a scapegoat to lash out at and relieve their own frustration. You might as well treat them like the droning of cicadas in the summer.
After all, people who don’t play on console have zero understanding of the reality, and they clearly don’t want to learn.

Console players get auto-aim. It’s basically official cheating.
Sorry. It’s just true. Deal with it.
Nope, because as you said, its called “Auto-Aim” which it does not do…
Tracks/follows, yes
Aiming, No…

Once the target is on your screen, you can lock it, that is, almost +/- 30~40 degrees
your experience with this is what exactly?
