I use 94.    I use the lowest I can go and still have good view coverage in like the back-up view.

Default 80 degrees (for purposes of beta testing rather than personal preference).  However, I don't like the loss of SA when views don't overlap so I'll probably go back to 106, or at least 95.  (Note I checked frame rate under varying locations at 80 and 106 and increasing the FOV did not reduce frame rate, it actually increased it slightly).

yep I spent all day trying different FOV. 

Default was great for TIR functionality, worked as it should in all situations.  Tightness of the view made SA very very difficult for me.

110 was ok but gunnery was very hit and miss (no pun intended)

106 to 108 is my preferred.  Some anomalies with TIR and gunnery average but overall a good balance.

Using 110 and I like it.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

During most of the BETA I (Tir 3 user) stuck with the default 80°, but it messed with my gunnery and so I went back to the traditional 106°

I like to have the ammo counters at the very bottom of the screen. During Beta I used 106, but now I have it set for 103 like I did for AH2.

mine is at 106 and people are still getting shot down fine. 

My targets always appear to fly straight through my gunsight though always been lucky like that.    :D

Messed around in the 94-103 range, then finally went back to 106.  Not going to change again.  :aok
