Set it back to 50 after realizing that 75 fucks your reflex/iron sights. It's definitely at 50; everything feels way closer.

I just found out FOV was a thing and it actually did increase my frame rate by increasing it. I'm rolling at 60fov right now and noticed a performance increase. I was at the default of 50.

Depends what sight you were using. A good deal of the sights are still glitched out and don't work properly at all. For mozin irons you need to aim at least at shoulder height to consistently hit thorax. If your aiming center mass your hitting stomach or legs which is essentially a minimum 4 shots to kill or up to 6 or 7 if your unlucky.

Ok cool, that's the part I was trying to figure out - is it just that I aim like poo poo or is killing scavs and stuff harder than I thought. Or both.

May want to make sure you can still aim properly.

I've never been very good at it, so not much has changed.

Yeah but at least at 50 FOV where you were aiming mattered :v:

It seems alright. Granted, all i did was test it in the hideout and then a scav run just now, which involved a shotgun to some poor geared out pmc's legs.

Yup, hit location is super important and the game feedback on hits is hard to see. The best indication is a little poof of blood on a hit.

Also generally your ammo is either amazing at shooting legs and useless on chest or vice versa.
Knowing what your using in advance is big.

Default POV is nice in that I can actually see details compared to full FOV, but the part where a single flight of stairs outside the dorms fills your entire field of vision makes it a little tough, too.

Been disconnected/reconnected about 5 times in the last 10 minutes while in the middle of a firefight. Does that happen to everyone else in the match with you? Or is it hit and miss who gets hosed by these poo poo servers?

There is a >0 number of goons who despise the PK-06 as the tryhard sight.

I personally use a PK-06 as my main, with a canted PK-06 as a backup just to say "gently caress the haters"

I just use the PK-06 because I love broken T and the Kobra has poo poo ergo.

USEC customs key off a scav run, I'm still basically a new account. Better to sell, or is the loot in the rooms good enough to keep it?
