PC mouse ADS sensitivity slider needed (not effective for balancing sniper)

  • There needs to be a slider for ADS sensitivity when using the sniper, and to a lesser extent the spyglass. In it's current state the sniper is very cumbersome and awkward to use on a travelling ship or one being buffeted by waves. I find myself constantly having to stop tracking a target and lower my sights just to point at it. Even getting a good look at something with a spyglass is difficult in stormy seas as I can't adjust my vertical positioning to compensate for the waves at times.

    I've read a number of comments that state the ADS sensitivity is an attempt to balance PC vs XBOX players (if someone could provide a dev source that would be great), if that is the case it is a miserable idea and just gives even fewer people a considerable advantage. As an example here is a quick sensitivity test (Streamable).

    In the link I have my mouse dpi set to 900 and in game sensitivity set to 2.5. Doing complete rotations by swiping across my entire mouse pad yields the following results:

    • Non ADS swipes = 1.5
    • Spyglass ADS swipes = 23
    • Sniper ADS swipes = 47
    • LOLFancyMouse Sniper ADS swipes @ 12000 dpi = 4

    If this is an attempt to balance the game by forcing bad controls on people, its terrible design, and means that people would can afford a decent mouse gain an advantage over XBOX players AND fellow PC players. If this is something that was simply left out, that's not much better. Please add an ADS slider, I want my button back.
