Suggestion: Disable cross platform play option.

I play this game on a tablet.  It is often very difficult to rotate rapidly, acquire the target, and fire.
This is because the part of the screen that controls horizontal turning, is right above where I have to hit the fire button.  I watched my son play the other day, on his pc.  He was playing his mech equipped with double long arms.  I watched him effortlessly use his mouse to line up on targets, and lay waste to them with no difficulty at all.  Also without the aim assist attempting to help, but in reality pulling his aim point to one side or the other.

To me, this is a level of advantage that I can only dream to have.  It does explain how on some maps,. I can be hit by a long arm or em rifle within seconds of the map starting, Even though I can't get a hit box on the opponent.

We need the ability to turn off cross platform play.  That way people who want to play cross platform can.  But those of us who want to stay with mobile gamers only have that option as well.  Honestly I think it's almost impossible to compete on a mobile platform against a pc player.  I used my son's account on his computer just to play around a little, And my kill scores went through the roof.  It's just much easier on the pc.

The PC does hold many advantages but this will always mostly be a mobile game. There are some easy improvements that I think could help mobile users and make this fairer. First, out an icon or indicator by a player's name if they are connected via Plarium Play. Knowing you are going up against a player on a computer beforehand helps for adjusting your approach. Let's stop it from being a hidden advantage.

Also, PC users shouldn't be able to turn off aim assist. They are already have a  advantage, especially for sniping, from using bigger screens. But being able to turn off aim assist multiplies that exponentially, particularly on today's META weapons. EM Rifles can "wing" players behind cover for a kill, while mobile users can't make the shot at all because it automatically centers. Combined with larger PC screens that makes computer users able to cornershoot much more than us possible for mobile players. Disc Launchers is another example, where it will keep re-centering on an enemy when the surface you are looking to splash is took close. Again PC users can just point and shoot. EMRs and DLa are the most used and effective weapons in the game, so they shouldn't have optional extra advantages for only one platform.

Finally, give mobile users a button they can hit so they can instantly start sprinting, just like a keyboard player has. The lag in breaking into a sprint for mobile users using the movement controller alone is a real problem against Rocket Mortars. Again, it is easily fixed with a simple tweak.

There will always be some advantages some players have based on hardware and their internet connection. I can live with that if it generally close. Let's just get a few simple adjustments to make it fair for everyone.

Actually, I've found the opposite.  My daughter can do things with javelins that I can only dream about on the PC.  To be honest, both of my kids are better on their phones than I am on my PC.  That's not saying I'm bad, just that when we play together, they outperform me.

I'd LOVE to, but I cannot.  I haven't touched Windoews on a decade.  I'm 100% Linux here, and I have (as of yet) been unsuccessful in getting the game to run via emulation.

I like this idea. Precision weapons are way OP on PC because it requires less skill (don't care if people disagree. It's true).

Mobile to mobile and PC to PC seems fair.

WHO told you I can do it.. not everyone can spend their time at the PC. a solution would be ... there are accessories to connect a mouse to android, you can find them for 3-4 euros ... connect the mouse and solve part of the problem
