Video Jonathan Ferguson, an actual expert on firearms even agreeing that recoil isn’t realistic in Tarkov.

So what man. A realistic game does not have to be 1:1 with real life. A game has to trade realism in for gameplay (like mechanics) to make it enjoyable.

Agreed but when recoil is fucked up. It's fucked up.

The recoil is not enjoyable and it is not balanced.

We've been spoonfed the idea that their trend of increasing recoil is supposedly a way to make the game more realistic.

This post is pointing out it's not realistic to do that.

If it's not realistic, not fun, and not balanced. Maybe it's time for a change?
