I would like to suggest that CCP remedy this by making the cone of dispersion/kick recovery being tuned to be slower than its build up.

Working as intended IMO, the recoil is cumulative when holding the trigger, which seems correct.

I'll see if I can bring this up with some of the other devs later when I get a chance. While it sounds like it's "working as mechanically intended", I'll see if I can find out if this is actually working as intended or not.

I tested it much time ago: using a mouse (fragfx shark) that support rapid fire, setting it to really rapid fire, shooting with an automatic AR. You get no recoil, no dispersion. Unfortunately, I'm not good with kb/m so i just didn't kept using it. Still i believe it is working as intended, but at the same time it's easily exploitable.

Speaking from past FPS this is a common 'tactic' and has been an intended game mechanic in every game that had it.

weapon_recoil_cooldown : 0 : Amount of time needed between shots before restarting recoil
weapon_recoil_decay1_exp : 3 : Decay factor exponent for weapon recoil
weapon_recoil_decay2_exp : 8 : Decay factor exponent for weapon recoil
weapon_recoil_decay2_lin : 15 : Decay factor (linear term) for weapon recoil
weapon_recoil_scale : 2 : Overall scale factor for recoil. Used to reduce recoil on specific platforms
weapon_recoil_suppression_factor : 0 : Initial recoil suppression factor (first suppressed shot will use this factor * standard recoil, lerping to 1 for later shots
weapon_recoil_suppression_shots : 1 : Number of shots before weapon uses full recoil
weapon_recoil_variance : 0 : Amount of variance per recoil impulse
weapon_recoil_vel_decay : 4 : Decay factor for weapon recoil velocity
weapon_recoil_view_punch_extra : 0 : Additional (non-aim) punch added to view from recoil

The AR has the kick of a 3 month old baby. It makes no sense. There is not a FPS around where fully auto rifles have this little kick and this much accuracy.

And ofc, this whole feathering the trigger stuff has been around forever.

Waeponz aer hrd..

it cannot possibly be intended. When you tap the fire button as the OP described, you still get the same ROF as holding down the trigger. Resulting in full auto-fire with less dispersion, in a manner that is counter-intuitive. What we should need to do is burst with trigger down, let off, burst with trigger down.

I have not confirmed the affects on dispersion yet, but others claim to. I can confirm taping the trigger (and not even rapidly either, nothing that will tire you) results in full auto fire.

This is vintage FPS tactical aiming, so no need to fret about this yo.

Take the new caldari rifle for instance, it's flaw is it's spool up time. But!! it has excellent range, and it may even scare me in my laser rifle fitting. But as far as the Gallente Assault rifle, the range on the weapon is substantially more less than the Caldari rail rifle. So if you were to encounter a caldari rail rifle at a decent range, then you would definitely need to fire in more controlled bursts to compensate for the bullet spread at certain ranges. ARs are going to need this mechanic, it would be foolish to subtract this simple FPS mechanic just because it works well. Plus, whether you realize it or not, your DPS maximum does decrease when you do this, which further balances the effect that the Rail rifles flaw has during the firefight. (spool up)

Do this same tactic with the Scrabler AR, and you will see that it's dispersion is perfectly okay, though there isn't a sharpshooter skill for the weapon. We have to compensate and adapt to survive. This isn't about spray n pray.

The problem isn't players ability to feather the fire button to reduce recoil.. It's that done fast enough or with a macro it negates all of CCP's recoil mechanics on all semi and full automatic guns...
