Title: Lead computing sight crosshairs
Post by: maddafinga on October 03, 2010, 02:46:07 AM
Just an idea for a small change to the lead computing target crosshairs available in the TA.  I'd like it very much if the primary and secondary guns crosshairs were different colors.  I think that could be a helpful change.

That would be a great change. I never figured out which was which.  :(

Would simplify things considerably. Even if it was a Green/blue.  What would be awesome would be if the color for the LCGS matched the colors of the convergience lines in the hanger.

It's not a matter of it being good enough or not.  It would just be more helpful to a lot of people I think.

Which mark is for my MG's, which mark is for my 30mm?
They preform completely different and I'm more interested in the 30mm rounds. How do I distinguish?
Yes, you can learn without it (I did), but it's a good tool to have in the game now. I just think it's incomplete in its current form.

the one further ahead of the con is for the 30mm, the one beind is for the mgs. . . the slower the bullet, the more lead you need.  With 10 mins of practise, you figure out which is which pretty quickly.

I am not saying it would not be useful to have lead computing gunsights - just saying there are some tools that are already in place and its about reasourse allocation.

Well how much resources can a simple color change take.  The crosshairs are already there. 

Here's the deal, I don't even really use them, I hit fairly will with the tater most of the time.  I just thought it would be a very helpful thing for the newer guys who might need to rely on it more, and maybe don't want to have to work for ten minutes to figure something out that could possibly be instantly obvious.

This would be great when you're trying out mixed convergence settings.
