Hipfire on console was fine from 1.5, if you would have just added more recoil i think it would have been fine. The game feels to suit casual players more and more with every update. Ive been playing since release and am on the top 100 for playtime in the world so i have a good idea of what im talking about. Hipfire on console was alot harder to do when the reticle was small because it required you to be precise and the amount of precision on console is nothing like how it is on pc. Increasing the hipfire reticle and adding autoaim to hipfire was probably the worst thing you could have done for hipfire. Its the same type of pvp from 1.4 & 1.5 but people just get closer because of how big the reticle is. Ive been seeing more and more people hipfire the bigger the reticle gets because it doesn't require very much precision to hit shots. If you want to look my stats up to confirm my gameplay hours my PSN is BlindNS. Ive stopped playing The Division since 1.6 and it sucks that ive put in so much time for me to leave because youre changing mechanics of the game to suit more casual players.
I do believe removing autoaim on console from hipfire would help a bit, the reticle on console is just too big. Up close its more viable to hip fire then ADS because of how big the reticle is. I do think hipfire on pc should have been nerfed because of how precise it is with mouse & keyboard. On console its a different story. Hipfiring with such a small reticle wasnt viable most of the time because of how little the hipfire reticle was & keeping the reticle on a moving target required to be too precise for a controller it forced you to ADS. This is also why i think there should have been a PTS on console in the previous patches, just because it works on pc doesn't mean it will work on console the same way. Im happy there will be a PTS on console in 1.7 but honestly i think its too late =\

I'll never understand how my 60 and shots at a Player does less damage than 20 of the hip fire shots....
