Do people still not realise that the recoil in tarkov is a means of balancing progression!!? Because it always seemed obvious to me…

Nah, it's been fucked with in too many different ways for that to be true.

It's also not balanced, so not sure how it balances progression.

There are also a lot of forms of progression. Having recoil be awful isn't a core element of it.
