Massively. Prepare to attempt to compensate.
No skills to reduce kick are available. Various grips and such for a particular weapon are available.
My favorite tank is a Lightning. Just sayin.

BS, MAX suits are role specific. Get too far away from a spawn point (Sunderer or complex) and you cannot change your load out. Get too far from a supporting engineer and run out of ammo or just get ganked by two close quarter solders.
I have been in battles with four to five hundred players and MAX units are in the minority. Every now and then you will see a combined squad that are working together. Which make great targets for C4, fighters with any type of rockets. Bam, dead MAX units everywhere you look. A decent sniper can drive one back pretty quickly. Four solid sniper shots and he is under cover.
The best thing is they are fast. None of this running like a slug of a Heavy. For that matter my normal suits can Run across the entire continent without stopping. Why you would I have no idea but I have run over a kilometer to another battle. And I was in a group of twenty others all eager to get into the next fight.
MAX units have significant limitations. You are merely running around with players that don't know them.
C4 will stop any MAX suit of any race. And there is nothing a MAX player can do against it. Nothing.

I have a few friends on the PS4 Beta. I play on the PC. There are several items that will be true to both.
First you get to choose a server to place your solder on. You have three slots for free for characters. When I started I just put one in US west, US east and EU. From the western US the EU is not really very good. But I can play as a medic or engineer just fine. So I figure I can support my EU friends. One friend from London had little difficulty playing on US east server and the same was true for me.
Second the Devs are stating that there will be a lag between the PC and the PS4 server versions. But not by much. A few weeks, because of the Sony PS4 testing requirements I think. The PC solution is easier to correct a bad patch. They also stated that you could move your characters between the PC and the PS4 servers. There was no planned cross platform play.
For a F2P game it is pretty sweet. For a FPS it is also pretty sweet. The different factions are focused on very different goals and technologies. Check in with your friends and see where they are going to join in. I wouldn't recommend US west to EU, unless you don't mind sticking to support roles. Good news is they just added automatic anti-personnel turrets. Drop and forget.
And the worst piece of news is I don't have a PS4. Oh well, the PC version is nice even if most of my friends (and all of my MMO friends) are on Sony gear. But in the meantime my characters are improving and I will move at least some of them when I finally get a PS4. I put it on my wish list but kids these days, what can I say? Santa wasn't very forthcoming.

I have a Vanu toon. Man, the VS is really what I thought future war would be like. Lasers, floating tanks, Scythe fighters and the Lasher (laser/pulse with unlimited ammo).
I ran a little last night and we overran an outpost then jumped over the wall chasing the attackers down on foot and vehicles. We overran the next one and I switched to a Lightning with AA. There were over twenty VS vehicles on the move to the next facility. Very intense fighting which ever faction you choose.
Glad you are enjoying it.
