I think that says it all... I am zeroing in on a bandit in dreadnought on the upper deck and some red zips in below and draws aim off. I have to aim lock all the time or I will screw myself into the deck!

Me: Aim for that griffin with low health that has orkans that can literally kill me in 3 sec thats 100m away
Autoaim: how about that fury zeus that's 700m away
Me:.....
Autoaim:...
My Mental State: well its been fun

When we know there’s a danger of auto-aim interference, using double lock-on in specific situations should just be habit. No point getting frustrated with the game when it’s our own fault for neglecting a simple tool.

I understand the built in solutions, I was also looking for an idea outside the norms.

Autoaim weapons mostly used from higher to lower leaugues : Hydra,zues,shocktrains,spirals,scrouge Hydra : 600m range,unavoidable and can kill any reds without ancile easily by annoying them. Unfortunately they increased its accuracy so much that’s it’s literally unavoidable even if kissing a wall ( it was possible before)
zues : get a lock on , press big red button and hide. Repeat
shocktrains : Unavoidable like hydras if you are in their los as they can hit you from back . Far more damage compared to any mid though
scrouge : This is the only mid I think is balanced. It’s speciality acc to pix is auto aim but that’s no different compared to zues,hydra or st but you require los, have to get close to do some good amount of damage and have to remain out ( can’t hide unless side shooting) so you are still venurable to brawlers. In short it is balanced so not useful ( good suppressor though, and some still use it but mostly very few does as it is not overpowered like shocktrains)
So basically all auto aim weap are runing the game except scrouge . All of them are mid range weap ( 500m +). I’ll say a treb butch require more skills then any of those ( with exception of scrougsari). It’s like get a lock and press red button , no aim,no skill just kill.

How do I pick my aim so it doesn't change when I'm about to fire at a sure kill to something that's 1000m away behind a wall?

In menu click "lock on target" this adds a new button that sits below the fire button. Pressing it will toggle between targets within the green aiming brackets and will lock on to the target as long as they stay within the aiming brackets

Lock you target. Problem solved. Except when the situation changes. Correcting autolock is time consuming and can leave you every bit as vulnerable as auto-aim's tendency to aim for the wrong bot.

It does require coordination and practise. I ALWAYS use autolock and never have a problem. If you are still playing fingers holding the phone and only using thumbs to play then it's time to switch up the technique.

Lock you target. Problem solved. Except for those times when it's targetting that Bot through the ceiling instead of that Bot with 10% HP and one working Magnum right in front of you, so you hit the Target Lock button to switch targets. And hit it again. And again. And repeat until you die.

I meant to use "auto-lock" which is a bot function and not "auto-aim" which is a weapon function. However your explaination is well thought out and valuable to educate pilots on tactics. I salute you sir!

Shocktrains should be banned,no skill is needed.What`S next a neucular bomb that destroys every bot on the map?Pix would sell it for 1000 dollars and the whales will buy it.

Am I to set it on a table and play it like a typewriter? That would make it difficult to eat cookies as I walk my Lancelot down the plank on yam at the speed of molasses, in a vain attempt to get center because that hover bot decided to grab our side beacon instead of being a team player. Now I'm stuck shoving bot after bot at center. Sorry,I think we all know what that is about!

When we know thereâs a danger of auto-aim interference, using double lock-on in specific situations should just be habit. No point getting frustrated with the game when itâs our own fault for neglecting a simple tool. The problem is that it simply will not stay locked onto one target as it should or even as it once did long ago. I use it constantly but new spawns, other targets crossing through the target box, poof! The lock goes off by itself and starts tracking the new target. The lock is 「dookie」. But it's still only slightly better than not using it. I have to take breaks just to keep from smashing my phone or tablet because of the frustration involved. I'm getting the upper hand on a Orkan/Haechi and along comes some turd in a Cossack to kill my tracking aaaand I'm dead. Aaauuuggghh!!!

I use double lock-on all the time and never get interference unless I’ve turned crosshairs to far to either side of my target. I rarely leave my aim on general auto-lock - I’ve wasted way too many salvos and died to do that anymore....kinda like always emptying a Taran clip where possible so that I don’t go charging into a situation and not have any weapons to fire.

ѻﻭɼﻉ, I've been trying to get someone in tech support's attention on this matter since 3.0 came out without a single response. I'm not the only one to experience this either. I've had others here in these forums state they've had the exact same problem. But what to do about it when PIXONIC refuses to answer or even acknowledge that it occurs?

They shall fix auto-lock: 1. Never change target while firing 2. Prioritize low hp

This is Pix trying to resolve the aiming error. I think the aim lock, shots missing or passing through, and/or other annoying glitches have been probably attempted to be addressed by Pix. Short of shutting down the servers, which I think would go over like a lead rock. Maybe, I'm just stupid, but I am almost sure that most corrections/changes to programming can't be done while the program is being used.

Well if a shutdown and corrective programming is all it takes then it shouldn't be a problem to announce that the servers would be shut down for a certain period and just do it. I've played many games that have done so(and still do so) without harming their player base.

But, the only time Pix servers have been off line has been an unannounced server failure. And I know what you mean. Was a part of server admin groups for other games. And shut down/restart was a normal procedure of update installs.
