advanced zoom aim

[Woods]

so i hit V to use my zoom but my mouse seems so sensitve its kinda jumpin all over the place not like smooth is this normal or is there a setting in options im missing ??

[soulscour]

thats normal. Its not a good module. you could try to lower mouse sensitivity. You could configure a gaming mouse to decrease dpi when using it.

HMMMM ok thanks maybe next patch its improved :)

Doubtful - I haven't used it myself, but I wouldn't be surprised if its been like that since it was implemented.

its a good module... you just need to find the perfect setting for the sensitivity... i generally play MWO on rather low sensitivity for precision, so the AV is kinda nice to use... and it helps alot on mid-long range,especially when enemies are behind trees or bushes and you have trouble seeing at what exactly you are shooting...

i love it, but as i said, you´ll have to figure out the settings that arent TOO slow in normal vision vs too sensitive in advanced zoom---

((as reference,i have mine on about 1/3 plus my mouse at halfed dpi (800/1600) most of the time ... )) works for me, can´t speak for everyone though :)

there's nothing to improve, you are aiming significantly further than normal so it will be more sensitive. either adjust your mouse to a comfortable midground, or if it can be changed during games, then set up lower and higher speeds.

ok thanks guys ill take all ur advice into consideration

I run advance zoom on all mechs even those without long range weapons .

If you try to hit mech with 6 medium lasers at 400 meters you will hit 3 different parts . With advance zoom I can put all damage into 1 part . It makes hell of a difference . Just need some skill to use it .

Personaly i find the advanced zoom perfectly fine even without any special mouse settings for it. It's ment to be used in short durations, actvate it, attack, deactivate and check your surrounding. Rinse and repeat.

I use a high DPI mouse and had to drop the in game sensitivity setting down a decent amount before I could rear in some control over aiming, especially while zoomed.

[vandalhooch]

Yeah, the default mouse sensitivity settings in the game are way too high for most players. I wish the devs would set the default to be lower.

ACtually, this is only partially correct. If you fire all at the same time you will get all 6 pinpointed on one spot and they will drag as one across other spots for the duration of the shot. This is one of the enduring broken mechanics of MWO and why the current laser-fest is so popular.

Actually, you are only partially correct. If your target is very, very close, then convergence doesn't actually happen with weapons located on opposite arms or other distant arrangements.

LOL. Yes, that outlier case may be true...but doesn't change my point for the majority of cases.

And woe be unto your back if your teammate in the King Crab slightly behind you zooms in to take his shots.

So true. I also especially like the teammates who dash in front of your shot because "muh kilz!" and you accidentally alpha t hem in the back...
