LOWER FOV THAN 90

[balmy sun]

i dont wanna buy 53480053480 inches monitor. in hell let loose i can lower more than 90 and squad is lowest fov 90. why? stop it

[vagrant echo]

why would you want to lower your fov past 90?
your just straight up putting yourself at a disadvantage in close range at that point

[balmy sun]

because i play 23.8 1440p monitor and in fov 90 enemy is smaller than 1mm

[balmy sun]

in hell let loose i can set even 60 and gameplay is amazing

here i always dont see anything

in arma i can use right click mouse to zoom

squad is shit

[inner pilot]

They should just make it like arma or make us be able to have 75fov minimum

I always play games at 75 fov on my 15.6inch laptop,it just feels more natural and something 10m away doesn't feel like its 50m away

Squad does have a zoom if you hold shift while aiming. I know it's not fully the same thing, but it's something.

I thought HLL minimum was 90 but I don't play it. Either way though most of them standardize to the same FOV when you are aiming.

I mean I guess to be fair I play both versions of tarkov on 50 FOV but if I'm being honest I think thats more due to tarkovs visability being pretty bad, playing on a 1080p monitor and having trouble recognising moving objects farther out, and a variety of bugs related to weapon zeroing that used to and may still cause accuracy issues at higher FOVs. I feel like there is a technical element to the idea of being able to lower the FOV below 90 or above 120 but I honestly wouldn't know. Then again not every dev team is as goofy as battlestate games so it might be technically possible but percieved to have a negative effect on gameplay by the developers

[unborn trench]

Tarkov is vertical FOV though, no? 50 vert fov is like 80 horz fov.

[spiral tangle]

need a bigger shift zoom to compare w arma

[unborn trench]

Like I said, I know it's not the same. I know the zoom they're talking about.

I agree that such a zoom could be useful and better represents real eyesight when we're playing on tiny monitors... but it would require yet more binds

[spiral tangle]

no problem, thing is AA works very bad in squad and without 2k res you see sharp or blurry visual mess. For people, who havent 2k monitors or pc that can support this res, bigger zoom in shift (of course only w irons and holo sights) wild be awesome

for example i am leaning towards to monitor to see better w irons/holo and this is not good for my back and eyes. Until I buy a better PC, I can’t do anything with that

[bronze kayak]

honestly I had no idea that the FOV was measured vertically in Tarkov, I just figured "well shit 50 FOV, I guess this is just how I have to play the game"

bump

[stray gate]

Hypercompetitive people are gonna abuse the FOV, I say 90 is fine enough

[spiral tangle]

W bad anti aliasing and ghosting textures - low fov is great now

[stray gate]

The issue with a lower FOV is it gives you a higher zoom when shooting. If for example, I used 100 FOV compared to the 90 I typically play at, things become significantly less zoomed in. I know for a fact that there are many players out there that will go to the minimum FOV in order to get every advantage they can in combat, regardless of if they have a good monitor setup or not

Supposedly, there should be a lot of performance improvements that they are working on during the transition to UE5 so they can get both done at the same time. I say wait until they do that to see if you absolutely need a change like this

[hardy swift]

This only applies to non magnified optics tho.

And people pick those for CQB anyway.

[stray gate]

With the vehicle optics they do also give the same advantage

[hardy swift]

I dont think so. They have fixed FOV values

[balmy sun]

yea lower fov than 90 HUUUUUUUGE ABUSE. you scared because someone will se you not 0.000001 inch dot?

Hell let loose ❤️

they have even 60 fov and noone cry

[stray gate]

Ive noticed you have a very tough time taking basic criticism

[vagrant echo]

to me it just kinda sounds like youre crutching on low fov to compensate for not being able to see and accurately shoot at longer distance targets

[unborn trench]

Reality is that lower FOVs will impart a competitive advantage but that many people experience motion sickness on the extreme ends of FOV, meaning that some people would simply be "blocked" from enjoying this benefit. Or it could be changed on the fly, like when using MGs.
90 is a pretty comfortable minimum for most people. There are other ways you can obtain better visuals of enemies in game than this. Giving a temporary zoom on a keybind would be the best of both worlds allowing you to "focus" your vision when you need it without allowing this to be cheesed for unfair advantages.

[hardy swift]

High FOVs also offer competitive advantages in some situations. So do different screen sizes and resolutions.

Giving people the possibility to play with lower FOV is no issue imo. Walking around with a tunnel vision also has disadvantages

[unborn trench]

Not in the same ways. Peripheral is not as useful as zoom.

[balmy sun]

i have motion sickness on 90 i need 70

[unborn trench]

That seems unlikely

You don’t have to lie to me, not like I have any power over whether this gets implemented or not.

[balmy sun]

BUMP

[balmy sun]

i wish someone play 23.8 1440p screen so they will know what i see

people are like dots

[unborn trench]

Yes. You chose a small screen size.

You can find 32" 144hz monitors for under $200, it would not be the most difficult thing for you to upgrade.

[balmy sun]

difficult will be that 32 should be 4k to dont have pixels on screen

why cant just owi put lower fov than 90 why i have to buy monitor i dont like. damn every milsim game have lower fov

[unborn trench]

They don't. Most don't support FOV below 90. You might be confusing vertical fov numbers (which most games do not label, for whatever reason)
