Thermal Aim Assist Gone?

[vcarnage]

Anyone notice that the Thermal Scope Aim Assist is gone since the games full release?

It definitely feels that way to me.  I loved the Thermal L86 in MW3, and the Dual Band MK48 in Black Ops 2, and this optic feels a lot different.

Did some testing in custom games.

Zero aim assist on Thermal.

Can you test the sniper scopes please

Does thermal still remove gunkick?

Not on the BRM and Dingo, as far as I can tell.

this change prompted me to turn off aim assist globally early on

In MW3 and BO2 it removed gunkick, which on MW3 LMGs made them drastically more accurate. In BO2 they balanced the gunkick removal by making it reduce centerspeed by 10%.

L86 w/ Thermal was pretty much a laser beam. Even better after they buffed the LMGs to all be three hit kills at any/long range.

I remember that one picture someone made showing all the different accuracy spreads of the L86 with different stances and attachments.

L86 with thermal, grip, and prone was literally one dot inspite of an entire magazine worth of firing.

If you're going for pure manliness, I applaud you. I tried switching between on and off over the course of a couple of hours in a FFA lobby, and it's abundantly clear that it does a ridiculous amount of work for you. So if you're trying to maximize your performance, turn that shit back on.

It's been off for weeks now. Varying aim assist between guns has forced this change
