Just got don switching to -30% Horizontal recoil reduction on Soviet SMGs it works alot better, my gun is no longer swinging left and right like a fu*king windshield wiper.
If your playing on console and having similar issues get rid of -40% vertical and switch to -30% horizontal
How to reduce recoil on console
Step 1 : get a M&K
Step 2 : profit
Good to know. Thanks
Another tip is getting the melee damage/speed perk. It speeds up the rate of digging holes and trenches**significantly**.
Obviously the recoil is not the same on console
and the fact that just by having the points on the fist, he gets vertical reduced recoil 0.5% per perk point, either he likes, or not.
op: Skill points increase a soldier’s performance in the battle
if you aint aware , read.
Really? I think it is still a bit useful, especially for some semi-automatic rifles, the vertical recoil is too high
Or you could just get gud on a controller instead of cheating…
to each his own, I prefer anti vertical to horizontal. At least with Horizontal I never lose sight of my targets (can Adjust easily. Cant say the same for trying to rapid fire a Semi auto rifle (recoil up puts the rifle model over my target for a few mili seconds. Doesn’t sound like much but to me is an eternity when I’m trying to rapid fire accurate kill shots on a swarm of targets.)
In that small window they could have stopped, changed direction, or walked over uneven terrain. Takes more time to readjust when you are missing a few frames of information. Long enough to die.
Put vertical on mg42, aim at left of enemy column , mg horizontal recoil zips to the right, profit 
Personally, I feel vert does the most; laser guns lmao Rather my bullets tweak out left-right than up-down, each their own of course
I haven’t thought about this.
I have to try it out.
If you have cross play enable It Is cheating?i mean you’re already playing against M&K
If you have cross play disabled you’re Just cringe
The hell it is!
Something else to note along with this: (H)MG nests
You can use the nest from either a standing or crouched position. If you enter it when crouched, your head sits lower, and its a little harder to hit you. However, if you enter it when standing, your get the bonuses from your recoil perks.
I use horizontal recoil control on a lot of soldiers for this reason. It makes both MG and HMG nests MUCH more efficient, especially on console.
But Quadro said on his video…
Vertical recoil perk is a must on some guns
