Even with my experience from many years of playing apb I still can't fully distinguish really good closet cheaters. Some people have it configured really well and they know how to play to not reveal themselves. Even some old veterans think that I'm cheating while I was always the cleanest mofo in this game which even further proves that it's not that easy. If you are talking about blatant shawcopters or people with bronze movement and game sense but godlike aim then yes I would agree.

This can't be real. First him mentioning shooting at people past 100m because he can see them with wh while you can't shoot past 100 meters. Then his 800 hours skill and being able to tell who exactly is cheating ? 800 hours is nothing in apb and definitely not enough experience to be able to fully distinguish every cheater from a legit pro with thousands of hours.

You can watch the vid which I linked in my first post.

And if you play on lower graphics they become completely invisible.

All I want them to do to explosives is to introduce trails to opgl projectiles. You just can't see the damn things.

What kind of imperfections ?? If you use free spin, what kind of uncomfortable grip do you have ? You just spin your wheel once every 10-15 seconds just as you would press a macro button. After that all you do is hold the mouse normally and focus on tracking. The free spin wheel is able to execute more than 1000 clicks in just 5 seconds therefore in worst case scenario if you used let's say oscar you would have 15ms slower ttk than the perfect one which still would be very hard to reproduce by clicking LMB + you would be 100% consistent with it. Also as I said it 100 times you don't actually need to learn any guns. All you need to do is shoot at people within the weapon's effective range / at the range where bloom won't affect your effectiveness and the wheel takes care of the perfect RoF for you and that in itself is cheating imo no matter what arguments you will use. Normally it takes months to master all the guns and even after that you still need to put effort into clicking properly yet a simple trick let's you bypass one of the fundamental mechanics of the game. Exactly the same thing as macro does. And as @Dopefish said. If it didn't give you advantages people simply wouldn't use it yet there's a massive amount of people using the wheel currently, even streamers.

Carbine OP ? What ?

It's not about being able to pull off 100 / 120 fps. It's about the random stuttering and other performance issues. It's relatively easy to get 120fps but the stability is a whole different topic. And it's those random stutters / fps drops that make you lose.

There will be no need for 50v50 instances if we will get proper cross district matchmaking. The transition will be almost seamless. The way it would look for you is that everyone from your current district disappears and suddenly new players from the target district appear just as it is in many MMOs currently.

My point is that with weapons which already have tiny recoil, if you reduce the recoil by say 5% that's like no difference at all.

The recoil reduction is so small that they could as well just remove the mod and you wouldn't feel the difference.

Bullet tracers were broken for a very long time therefore removed from the game. They might come back with the engine upgrade. For example silenced weapons have no point of existing right now since the silencer mod was supposed to remove bullet tracers.

Relax. Let them do an engine upgrade first and take care of other bugs / issues. Matt already said that they will be updating the looks of current clothing and adding more. Trench coat is a very generic item. I'm 100% certain that it will be added in the future.

Jesus Christ what is happening here. Exactly. Sad thing is that many of the people who talk about it in this thread never used it on the pro level or never actually played against one of the top players who are using the wheel. If they did, they would understand how annoying it is when you keep playing against oscar mains with "free spin" wheels. Yet it lets you achieve exactly the same result as a macro with the only difference that this is in the game therefore not a cheat. But the fact still remains that wheel let's you completely bypass the need to learn the rate of fire of every gun which can take months to perfect and that in itself is an exploit / cheat if you are able to bypass one of the fundamental mechanics of the game by a little trick like that. I don't see how making your wheel spin once every 15 seconds is any different from pressing a macro button to achieve basically the same result.

1st of all oscar doesn't bloom, you can shoot as fast as you possibly can as long as you are on point. About the mouse, just get a logitech.

Nope you won't bypass anything but the point is that you won't be able to achieve those shots which are perfectly spaced out by let's say 200ms by clicking LMB which scroll wheel can do for you. No matter how good you are you will never be able to click perfectly every 200ms for example and even if there's just let's say 50ms difference between your ttk and wheeler's ttk the wheel user will win every time therefore gaining an advantage over you since he will always have the top top best possible ttk and he will be 100% consistent with it every time which is not possible if you play normally, you will always be making tiny mistakes with every click unless you are a cyborg. That's why it's an issue imo. Maybe I phrased it wrong and it's not as bad as "cheating" but it's definitely an unwanted exploit which many people are abusing.

Since when is mobile radar tower broken ?

who needs that with oscar lul or pretty much any semi auto at cqc

With free spin you only need to scroll your wheel once per every battle since the wheel can spin even up to 15 seconds by itself and literally spams probably more than 1k clicks in that short time span so you definitely have the fastest possible ttk every single time. And while the wheel spins by itself you can fully focus on just tracking your opponent. There's nothing tricky about it unlike normal scrolling.

Same way how you didn't know how to play a guitar for example. Practice. After some time it becomes very natural and easy to perform.

The way apb's spawn system works in general is it checks every few seconds if enemies are too close to the spawn point and it turns those spawn points red (yes it also includes regular spawn points not only car spawners) If on previous distance check the spawn point was valid and an enemy gets close to it and you spawn before the next distance check you can literally spawn on top of your enemy. Same with car spawners especially when people are driving around since the distance changes very rapidly so it's fairly easy to abuse it and spawn literally next to people. You never had a situation where you were spam clicking on a spawn point and you were able to spawn to an enemy car driving literally 5 meters away from you ?

That would be true if the server would actually check the range all the time. In practice it's being checked only every few seconds so you can literally move close to the car and have people spawn in it before next distance check.

With a good mouse you can execute thousands of clicks per minute by using the scroll wheel, especially with "free spin" feature. You will achieve perfect rate of fire every single time. I really don't understand arguments like, oh you can't use scroll wheel because weapons bloom too much. ??????????? Every weapon has it's effective range and bloom. It's not wheel's fault if you fail to understand those mechanics and don't use the guns at proper circumstances. You need to max RoF with both your examples (carbine and fbw) btw. Just a quick tip.

How about you report them for harassment and threats and go make some popcorn.
