recoil is a mechanism to mimic the real world, you will have to absord it by hand movement while using a mouse, if you do not like to use a Macro.
Yeah I understand that mate. And being the type of game that uses mods in game to balance the guns isn't going to make it easy. after reading around seems pretty much widespread on this game with console users using the mouse and keyboard. With the controller its easier to control it going up by just pulling down on the right joystick a fraction helps balance it, but with the mouse it takes my full mouse matt and I have to lift the mouse as I run out of space if I don't burst fire.
I'm also not very good with understanding the way the macro works. is the greater the number gives it more or less. I will have another play. Been on few forums and trying different things with the mouse macro too but can't seem to just get that balance.
I use the macro you shared on that link too but still the vertical recoil was to great to try control with the mouse when shouldering the assault rifle. I'll keep playing around with it I'm sure must be a way to get a balance like you say with the macro but new to them and with using mouse and keyboard on a console. so all about the learning
