Knife and shock paddles less accurate?

[Unfocused]

I wanted to check whether I'm the only one that thinks the knife and shock paddles are less accurate.

Too often I run up to a fallen teammate, stop, shock him and I have to do it again for it to work.

Also pre-1.12 I could go prone next to people that were firing somewhere, unaware of my presence, and stab them, killing them on my first or second stab.
Now I go prone, stab - nothing, he turns at me, stab to the face - nothing and the "victim" kills me.

The shock paddles are all screwed up now.

I think they did, it takes two attempts to stab somebody, heck the other day some spec ops noob creeped up behind us, and i was laughing so hard he ttried like 5-6 times to stab a clan mate, then i just shot him and told him to look behind him

There not screwed up, i thought they were to but infact the ammount of shocks you get depends on how many medi packs you just threw out.

AIM FOR THE CHEST.

Ive had people shock me 5 times only to fail because they dont knwo where to aim.

Strange, I've been having MORE sucess with the knife. I've found myself hitting moving/dodging targets and the hit actually killing (as opposed to hit + puff of smoke but no kill) after the patch. :) Not had a problem with the shock paddles yet but I've only done about five revives in 1.2.

Yep, seems a lot harder to knife someone now. I would knife someone 3-5 times and nothing....even when laying right next to them. I would get the sound like I stuck them.

Then explain why sometimes they freeze 5 seconds and then recharge, reviving doesn't work on the CHEST half of the time, and sometimes they don't recharge at all. Please, i want to know.

Read The Fu*cking Patch Notes, seriously the behaviour of the shock paddles has changed, they use the same ammo as the Medi packs which need to recharge after about 3 medi packs dropped.

Check the reloading bar at the bottom right

I've had no problems since the patch, other than I keep running out of Medic ammo on Karkand too quickly :P
