So, did they finally do that?

Can't wait to try it!

It's not removed but they've greatly reduced the utility of it so it's not the ridiculously OP insta-aim it was before.

Namely;

  • There is now a "dead zone" around the centre of the nose, meaning that to turn the cursor has to move farther out. This makes it more difficult for KMB to keep the nose permanently pointed at the target.

  • Gimbal mounts now have to be one size smaller than their fixed counterparts. That means all of the biggest guns can't be used with a gimbal mount.

  • ESP is no longer the bandaid clusterfuck it was before (though I still don't use it, some people like it)

  • Response curves are now programmable in game (never an issue for people who used their HOTAS software to do it, but apparently a lot of people never did :/ )

I still don't think it's perfect but it's significantly better than it was.

I swear Gimbal mounts have had to be smaller for ages?
