FOV advantages

[Adolf Rizzler]

I love 100+ fov when looking around as it gives me a proper sense of range and the environment around me but when I want to aim I reduce the fov to as low as it can to see as close/detailed as I can.
Point is can we have a dynamic FOV that changes when hipfiring(high fov) and aiming down the sights(low fov).

I think that's impossible, that is the job of scopes.

there is a Field of view option and you can adjust it to be high or low
High fov allows you to see a wider view of your surrounding but everything is so far from your view that even when aiming with a marksman kit feels like a 1x/3x scope.
Low fov just zooms your view and tunnelvisions you a lot but the benifit is now everything is crytal clear to you and if a unit is lying in a grassy area on a hill 100m away you can spot him easily without scoping in and when using the marksman kit its like using a 8x scope its very overpowered how low field of view can make distant targets appear like they are way closer than they should be.

you adjust the fov ingame ? i guess you're not jumping into the options very 2 minutes ?

if its a urban map then i use high fov so i can engage close targets easily but for large maps low fov is absolutely necessary

98 fov is the best balance IMO

I have tried medium fov but it feels like a adaptive FOV setting would be very nice so whenever I ADS my fov is lowest allowing me to take out ranged targets with ease and hipfire FOV at maximum for effective scouting and close range engagements

Enything less then 90fov makes me sick.

[embecmom]

but I dont want adaptive field of view im happy.

Got a link where OWI has confirmed trackir is indeed going to be implemented?

AFAIK they said they don't plan on adding that feature at all. Kind of upsetting since this would help my immersion.
