When I turned on Uniform Soldier Aiming it helped a lot. But I also noticed that many of the Assault and Medic guns default to a higher zoom level when you equip them than you might expect. For example the Cei Rigotti Optical starts at 2x zoom. I suspect most infantry players coming from BF4 are used to 1x zoom at most. So double check the zoom setting on your weapon and tweak it down.

Maybe dont shoot someone from far away. Then you can apply max damage.

Well I turned on uniform soldier aim and tinkered a bit with the sensitivity the zoomed one too and it kinda got better but it’s still much worse than previous titles though

Well they were different, but it’s irrelevant since it’s a game, they can make the physics any way they want.

Been stabbing a lot instead of firing. Only happens to me in multiplayer. Pretty frustrating. I will have to try messing with my settings as well.

I’m gonna try some of the suggestions here… I turned soldier sensitivity up to 35, 100% ADS and it’s still a bit sluggish. But something overall feels off. I’m usually solid on bf4 with only slightly tweaked controls but on BF1 I seem to suck about 50% of the time. Just to see if I lost all my skill I spawned into a bf4 game and went 24-5 no problem.

Interestingly a lot of my more casual friends are doing ok and love the aiming and everything about the game.

It saddens me how everyone uses BF4 as the standard to go by.  
I have over 1100 hours on BF4, but also as many hours on Battlefield Hardline.  
For those who never played Hardline you really did miss out.

THAT game had the controls perfect! And I mean PERFECT! Everything was so fluent and on point, no dead zone and actually nothing was hindered in the slightest. Sucks that so many were turned away from the game because of all the babble spewed out on these forums.

I thoroughly enjoyed a year solid playing Battlefield Hardline in the fullest sense.

While I understand where you are coming from with the comparison, BF1 (in my opinion) is a much different game than BF4. You can’t play BF1 as you did playing BF4 (most people that is), and if you do, you will be very upset.

I have Hardline, it’s not a bad game however I like BF4 a lot more. I have 2280 hours on BF4 and nowhere near that on BFH but that doesn’t mean I think BF4 is the standard to go by, I just prefer that sensitivity opposed to BF1. Honestly, I notice little if any difference in the sensitivity between BF4 and Hardline, it feels the same to me so it wouldn’t matter to me if they used Hardline sensitivity settings or BF4 settings to fix BF1, I just want it to be quicker.

Yes. This is the issue.  
Bfbc 1-2 had a good acceleration curve, but the sensitivity /speed was way to slow. So people asked for a higher sensitivity.

Bf3 was good except for the input lag at launch. And that sett a standard for the aim in upcoming games.

Bf4 was the same as bf3.

Bf Hardline was the same as bf4 atleast in speed.

And now bf1 is released and its completely different! Reminds more of killzone, aim wise.

Whoever made that decision can not be listening to the comunity!  
And I bet that guy doesn’t play on console…

Pc = fast and smoth aim.  
Console = fast and smoth aim.. Ooh wait no, lets make console version completely different!  
lets change the aim towards what everyone dissliked in bfbc 1-2.  
And then lets make the deadzoone really big, and put a strange acceleration to the aim.

Ooooohhhhh this sounds like a good idea!

Really…? Wtf… Im amazed..

I dont get all the hate about aiming and sensitivity.

This is my first battlefield game ( retired COD player)

I normaly end top 4 and very often nr. 1 and 2.

I am starting to guess that most of the whiners Just suck and are very bad losers Who blame the game.

People arent happy because they have changed a perfectly good feel to the aiming that previous BF games had.  
Well done for being so good at this game. Probably another player obsessed with the K/D ration

Hmm, I really liked aiming in BF4 and Hardline (they were a bit different). Battlefield 1 is different due to the engine but aiming feels alright to me - it is slower but in a good way.

Aimings fine for me. Only adjusted it twice and got used to it over a short period of time. Found guns I like and got better.

^^^THIS

The later DLC maps were some of the coolest maps ever made for BF.
