Yeh, frankly I don't see CCP not doing this. It's a simple and standard FPS mechanic. Each shot that is fired has a degree of climb for the muzzle of the gun. They can get more fancy by including a smaller random left/right degree of movement per shot. To put the cheery on the cake they could have a increased level of recoil for the first shot to simulate the operator having to set themselves into the initial recoil.

They have to do the basic though, as you've laid out. I don't see any other workable options.

It would be nice if that one single equation would work for all weapons. Unfortunately, it can't and won't.

There are better solutions to this problem.

More damage does not always equal more recoil, and more recoil does not always equal more barrel climb. Different weapons have different ratios. Minmatar weapons would likely have a higher recoil to damage ratio, and heavier weapons are less affected by a similar amount of recoil than small weapons. Secondly, would this really work for HMGs? Poor HMGs. Can you imagine that ridiculous barrel climb? Keep in mind that the HMGs are designed for continuous fire.

Also, congratulations on agreeing with me, dumbarse. You fail at arguments.

This would make the sniper rifles worthless. It takes 3-5 shots with a proto sniper to score a kill. Getting that many rounds to hit a target already takes work, determination, and in part a idiot red dot.

Skilled weapons are not and have not been the issue and this should not apply to them. To start fixing weapons, let's start with making each weapon only work well in a limited range. Med long range should not work well in cqc or long ranges (laser tacs and scr with horrible hip fire and reduced damage outside there range). Then from there, take the weapons with automatic fire and give them real kick starting from the time the first round is fired.

To help combat modded controls, make the recoil have a cool down bar like heat weapons. You still can fire the weapon,but the kick level would be equal to how full the bar is. Obviously the kick bar would have a much faster cool down to make the weapon not worthless.

This is already implemented in a form, or at least I believe it to be.

I believe that the Higher end AR's have not only more recoil, but more dispersion. I cannot prove it. Though, I feel like this is true.

GǪ.. you know that neither the Scrambler or the AR are 'projectile weapons'?
