> [@DangerousDan321](#): > > Just wondering if anyone else is struggling with aiming? Ive gone from being pretty good on BF4 to absolutely shocking on BF1. Ive played around with the sensitivity and just cannot seem to get used to it. 10 hours in and im still really struggling. Im finding it hard to enjoy losing pretty much every gun fight Me and my friend did a ps4 to pc comparison on recoil as i noticed on pc youtube videos pc was much easier to aim, i took my ps4 to my friends and we set everything exactly the same and ps4 aiming and recoil is twice as bad as the pc. I have reported it in the bug section but i dont expect them to look into it anytime soon as it took them over a year to fix it on bf4. Its not your aiming its the bf1 setup that we cant change as there are no options to adjust it ---

I got the same here in bf4 i won a lot of gunfights and last times i played Always had a high kd ratio. But here in bf1 i really suck and it is not a real joy, this is because i loose Almost every gunfight, most of the time i dont even have a chance to shoot back because they kill me with one or two bullets. Or i have a gunfight where i fire like 4 to 5 bullets and i see hitmarkers and then they take cover come out of cover and kill me with one or two bullets again and this happens over and over again. I dont think it is the aiming because in my situation i do see hitmarkers but they just dont drop it makes me go camping and trying to surprise someone but it doesnt help me to get good scores. I dont know what is wrong with the game i hope in time they will fix this because in general it is a nice game. ---

Something is very wacky although it could be just how they wanted to old World War 1 weapons to feel.. I’m hoping its it’s just the firSt guns that suck at aiming/competing and I will unlock a nice one soon.. about 3 weapons unlocked so far no go. ---

Ive turned off aim assists and that seems to have made no difference. Playing with the Mondragon Storm aswell so much better than the starting weapon.Really struggling to find the motivation to play this game atm. Will be going back to BF4 very soon i think. ---

People hate on me every time I say this but I just want the BF4 sensitivity and aim back. ---

Yeah. I feel like my aim have been particularly bad in this battlefield compared to the others. I think it could have to do with the various aim sensitivities that we get with each magnification. There are options for changing them but I find it overwhelming tbh ---

Damn. Thought I was the only one until I found this thread. I’m not the world’s best player but at least I enjoyed myself in BF4, but in BF1 I get annihilated and something did feel off in the aim. I hope DICE is tweaking this. ---

Aim acceleration, dead zone or both seem awkward to me too. It helps to turn down soldier zoom sensitivity tho, give it a try. ---

I’m not the world’s best player but at least I enjoyed myself in BF4, but in BF1 I get annihilated and something did feel off in the aim. I hope DICE is tweaking this. Weapons are zeroed to 75m Projectiles are slightly higher than center \<75m and slightly lower than center past 75m. ( Depending on the weapon.) Some rifles have the option to be zeroed at 75m, 150m, and 300m. If the projectile is fired at 0m it will travel upward against gravity until reaching it’s highest point when the downward vector of gravity alters the upward vector of the projectile and begins to decend the projectile. The arc of a projectile is static for each weapon. The sight can be zeroed and will provide a Straight Line of Sight to where the bullet will intersect with the line projected from the sight at the zeroed range. Each weapon has a different projectile arc. Learn the projectile path of your weapon, you lazy scrub. ---

Iv spent 90 % as assault (SMG) and i got no problems with the sensability. To much wining around in the forum. Admit, you are crap if your stats are low. ---

I really wasn’t having too difficult a time aiming with my normal weapons using the default sensitivity settings, but when I would try to use a turret inside a tank or a stationary gun and aim down the sights, the reticle would start moving slowly, then suddenly accelerate out of control in the direction I was turning. This was very frustrating. After reading some other posts in the BF1 forums and the BF4 forums, I learned of a feature that is disabled by default in Battlefield 1. After I turned on this feature, with the default sensitivity settings, now the turrets behave very similar to normal weapons when aimed down sights and I no longer have the wild acceleration issues. The settings is called Uniform Soldier Aiming, and as I mentioned, it is set to OFF by default. Turn this option ON if you are having the problems I described above. The setting is located under Options → Controls → Advanced, the scroll down very near the bottom of the list of advanced options. Even with Uniform Soldier Aiming (USA) turned on, the turrets on boats and on ground seemed to move too slow when aiming down sights (ADS). At this point, I increased the Turret ADS sensitivity from the default 100% to 150%, and this provided the best experience for me. Hopefully these tips will help some of you that are also suffering from the issues I described. ---

I’ve always been a PC player, but with hackers, I got tired of it and wanna play where the field is even. So I jump into this via PS4 and I’m not a fan right now. The recoil on these guns is absolutely atrocious. Trying to aim on this damn game just blows!!! The computer version of BF, aiming was always so much easier. Fix the damn recoil please!
