Not sure what this is
« on: August 09, 2017, 02:01:01 PM »
Never experienced this before.  If I up in a manned gun (shore batt, ship, or field), my reticle is way off to the left.  But when I zoom in, I zoom in to the center of the screen.  This does not happen in gv's, fighters, bomber manned gun positions, or the 17 pounder.  Just in the field and ship guns.  Even when I hit my home key and re-save with F10, the reticle goes right back to way off to the left if I try to zoom in and out.  And the bullets or rounds go where the reticle is pointing to way off to the left (not to the center of the screen).

The view is tied to your mouse. If you move the circle to the middle and leave the mouse alone, you should be good.

Uh, how exactly do you aim at things when you want to shoot at them.

Also, this only started with the patch from last week.  Been playing 5 years with no issue.

Did you try to "home" your view?

"Home" works great until I use zoom, then the reticle swings way over to the left.  What's most disconcerting is the fact that all of my bullets go toward the center of the screen, even though my gun sight reticle is off to the left.  I'll try to get a screen grab.

Also, one other thing.  When I hop in a gun at first, the gun sight is off to the left, and the bullets i fire go to the left.  After I hit home, the gun sight is back in the middle of the screen, and the bullets go there.  Then if I hit zoom in and out, the entire field of view swings toward the right, leaving the gun sight and aim point off to the left (pointing at the target I had "homed" to), and the center of the screen pointing to what was once the right side of the field of view.
