    Honestly, shots that used to require no aiming at all (target not moving, wave in a stationary position) now require me to pull the shot down to avoid shooting way over them. If it's a sure shot, it shouldn't require aiming. I'm always leading shots either way, both vertically and laterally. The assist is unnecessary. It just means I have to "counter-lead" my shots.

    This happens to me every single match few times. It's really frustrating.

    No words from expertise/ yet?

    IMHO this feature suck especially on my double box mk5 Fixer, whenever I tried to throw box infront of me to heal myself, the turret keep spinning to nearby friendly instead. Using double pulse is quite challenging as well, since my weapon turret keep wanting to faced at opponent whenever possible instead of me supposedly looking around for friendly in-need.

    Auto snap, quick auto target, and auto crosshair adjustment, are too distraction on my fixer as well as my others ship. I can just use a "target lock button" whenever I need quick aim and I don't prefer unnecessary aim assist.

    Agreed. Almost every other game includes it and it shouldn't be too hard to add

    My flare gun seems like fire works with this new aiming here I'm quietly sneaking behind enemy and suddenly aim snaps and flare is wasted and I need to run for my life.

    I think this is accurate... I've never had so much trouble with it as I have lately.

    The angling made it worse for me aswell tbh. Since the arc isn't even properly adjusted so sometimes I end up over shooting or hitting the water

    I didn't even think about how awful this must be on a fixer. As a non-fixer, there are only 5 players my reticle will snap to, but as a fixer you have 9 players that you might want to be aiming at. Ouch. Sorry to all my turtle friends.

    Yeah, it does except the good thing is I've got into Ace 1 (I guess I got lucky with this).
    Also, I'd more 3star wins after switching into double healing pulse, probably because I'd plenty of free times to shot my sniper cannon unlikes when I'm using 3 healing item before.

    Man, my accuracy really took a dive after the vertical aim assist feature was added. At first I thought it was really cool and was helping me lead my shots, but it didn't take long before I noticed that it was constantly making me overshoot. Sometimes I have to counterlead the assist to land a shot that normally wouldn't require aiming at all. A toggle would be really nice.

    Bump.

    This new feature hurts more than it helps.

    "Oh wait are you going to shoot a point blank straight shot?! Let me help you with that!" *Misses terribly*

    It just feels weird when your cross-hair is way above a target. I've played probably 3k+ battles without this new feature and now it's just anyoing af.

    I would not miss the vertical "assist" for 1 second if they removed it!

    'Crazy jumping crosshair at clutch moments' would have been a more fitting description :)

    Please make them optional with two different boxes for each type, vertical and auto snap.

    The aim assist altogether is bad imo. It takes any true akill away. Hell why not just have an auto fire feature as well! Just ride around and when a target is a hit, the weapons automatically fire. Then my neighbors 2 yo can enjoy this game as well! SMH!

    The vast majority of responders in the poll so far seem to think you have nothing to worry about since these features make aiming harder not easier. For me these "assists" are a significant hurdle to overcome and I wish dearly that Rovio would leave my camera and reticle alone.
