Here we go again, copy and paste. I'm in all of these AK, old recoil moaning threads.
'I'm here to slam all arguments agreeing with the old recoil system, this is easily the most important change to rust for me. I am happy to discuss it in length and explain to you systematically why it promotes numbers over skill. It reduces skill margin and it was a garbage system overall. At this point people who don't agree with the new recoil system are low skill and/or are part of a bad clan that is losing fights. Here's my copy and paste. The AK's previous recoil systems best practise was to crouch, stay still, aim at center, hold spray until clip was finished. Average kill times were about 3-4 seconds at a distance of about 10 meters. Is this what you actually want back? Once the patch was released, I could fire a 4 shot tight burst from over 100 meters, if I was lucky I could land all 5 and down someone. I could now get double head shots on enemies, because I knew exactly where that second bullet in the spray was going. This was impossible/no skill in the previous recoil system because the first shot would bounce your aim randomly and it was literally humanly impossible to correct your aim in time for the second shot. With the new system it's also now worth aiming at the head. All of this means that the average time to kill went from 3-4 seconds to 0.5 over night. This was a huge victory for the solo players in my eyes. It was now possible to take on teams as a solo player. I finally felt confident in my shots, I could take on multiple people again in a fps game, all the skill that I've cultivated playing fps games over 2 decades came back to me. If I'm a better player than two-three of you, I should be given the opportunity to take you on and that's EXACTLY what FP has done. A brag but I'm global elite in cs:go and my ak fights went from a 60% success rate to 95% after that update. It wasn't just a stupid gamble anymore, my skill actually mattered.
I see a lot of people saying it's too easy, I think you're actually saying is, "it's too easy to get killed and I'm getting fucked by better players".
Again I'm happy to discuss this in great depth and explain to you why the previous recoil system was no skill and has no place in a game where I spend days getting and producing an AK so I can lose it to an RNG shooting system.'
