Please give an option on the queue system for no crossplay! I have many reasons for not wanting to play with console players, but the two most prevalent are:

  1. the average console player in Realistic Ground Battles plays it like arcade: zerg, die, zerg, die, zerg, die. This creates very non-competitive matches and I miss the days when RB was fun because more than half my team wasn’t dead and out of the game within 2 minutes.
  2. console players get a MASSIVE aim advantage against air targets. Aim assist has no place in mixed battles because PC players need to use skill to kill air targets, but console players literally hold down a button to auto-track a target and all they have to do is click-to-win … no skill involved. This is quite literally a built-in aimbot.

3 things:

  1. The 5 console players would certainly be pleased to see that the 1 player disabling cross play prevented them from joining a game

and
2. Auto-tracking isn’t aimbot. It doesn’t give you the advantage you think it does. And even if it actually gave you aim prediction: have you ever played arcade? Aimed at the centre of the circle? It isn’t click and destroy by any means. And how else do you suggest console players be on equal ground?

  1. If you are really blaming console players for the game not being fun, maybe you should look more introspectively.

A better example of 2, would be for the player to load up test range for ships an shut off AA targeting & look up at the aircraft flying overhead, it’s the exact same mechanics as that but ported to consoles (used to be for everyone iirc).

If people still think that’s aim bot then IDK what to tell them (ntm a ship has a whole lot of parallel to deal with, same for players using from gunnery sights option over the default gun bore sight).

Only pro it gives imo is giving CAP fighters the correct coordinates for incoming aircraft if you call them out beside using air alerts “Attack B7A, 1500 metres Grid F4” (recently seen to deadly effect as a VB.10C2 destroyed seven aircraft that were called out).

The console “aim assist” square for air targets can effectively give them wallhacks though…

Have you even tried playing on a controller? You have to aim and play using two big clunky sticks and have nowhere near the accuracy of a MnKb…

Exactly. Arcade targeting isn’t accurate. Try using a gun-radar SPAA in arcade and you’ll see the radar reticle is more accurate than the arcade one

It doesn’t give you lead indicator

occasionally you can cheese a hovering helicopter with LRF+APFSDS/Proxy HE through a forest and by far the most useful thing is just scan the screen holding down the funny button and giving something like a Type 93/WZ305/Tan-Sam or Strela a discount radar
