I imagine that it takes longer than a 15 minute match to train the ST in game, sure it could be done, but factor in the storm, you might have to move every couple of minutes and interrupt the ST training. I don’t see a feasible way to do it in game that wouldn’t be tedious and very time consuming. I don’t think there is a different look mechanic in training, perhaps the aim assist is different.
You have to keep in mind that when training an ST, aim assist is not taken in to account. The titan fall ST may work better than the apex, but it is not better at providing a 1:1 experience which is the goal of the ST. If your intention is to have a better experience with AA then sure, experiment with the expert settings, in game settings, or a different ST.
Now, if the ST was trained while aiming at a target in the firing range, there is aim assist, which may impacted the ST training (an assumption, not a fact)
With that said, I feel your pain... season 2 has been horrible for me and my experience with AA, and many others as evidenced by the increase in DPI per config. Maybe something changed between season 1 and season 2? It would be nice to have it looked at just in case. Perhaps the difference between 7/7 in game and 8/8 in game has changed? If I remember correctly, I tested 8/8 out and aim assist was still present, or I still lost functionality when ADSing... so maybe something changed on ADS only?
Also, I’ll add that I finally was able to get better aiming behavior and/or aim assist experience by once again switching to advanced settings. I know it’s been asked quite a few times before, and the answer has been difficult instructions and not much improvement to the existing ST, but I believe that it is much better with advanced settings in regards to turn speed. I don’t know if I am remembering correctly but I think Mist (or maybe it was someone else) said that it was only about a 3% difference, but it feels like a much better turn speed experience in game with max pitch/yaw. Could we please get advanced settings supported with an official ST, even if it has to be separate from the “basic” ST?
We have the option in our XIM to enable expert settings, and they can be confusing, but we still have the option for the best experience, why can’t we have that same option with an ST and in game settings as well?
