No man, replay is pretty accurate now. This is just some copium stuff so when people see a cheater in the replay it can be always explained by saying "oh no the replay is not accurate so it looks like they cheat".

Replays are not recordings, but reconstructions of game events based of off data. Data that will look differently from your vs your enemy player's perspective.

It is there to showcase the events that have happened, but they won't ever be accurate.

Recoil does not get recorded in that data, the recoil you see in the replay is there to show that there is a recoil on the weapon. It's not the actual recoil of that weapon at the time of the event.
