Console players (and PC who know how to do it) have a key bind that automatically tracks planes and auto-aims to the perfect lead … which means all the player has to do it click the fire button and it’s a guaranteed kill within 1km.
This is the most anti-competitive system in the game and it needs to be removed because this is quite literally no different than using an aimbot.
It is a target track, that’s it. The player still has to do their own ranging and leading. It also seems to have been nerfed in regards to total range and requiring current FoV, which is fine.
I have tested it myself, it auto-leads the target to a nearly perfect lead amount at 1km. Go and key bind it yourself and do a test drive and you will see for yourself.
it doesn’t give you lead, it just gives you perfect tracking, which is still quite overpowered, far from fair but even further from aimbot, should be removed IMO because the SPAAGs like gepard are powerful enough without aim assistances
It’s also been seemingly nerfed this last update. Lesser range and requires the aircraft to be within your FoV. It’s become quite balanced out now, frankly.
I was forced to play on ULQ in 2021 when my GPU went off for RMA.
The moment I could play on Ultra settings again my performance went back up.
ULQ was playing the game on hard mode.
It’s essentially a built-in cheat for console players. Until Gaijin disable crossplay, console players will always have a significant advantage in a game that wants to be “E Sports” … what a joke.
