Field of View settings.  It's an option in the video settings menu that pops up when you first load the game (not the in arena settings).

I use default.

I let the system set it.  I figure HTC programmed it to work best at the settings that it chooses.  Who am I to second guess the system?

I hate squashing my vision, so I always use the default, 106 for my 1600x900 monitor.

Experience from other games: Higher FOV multiplies your dogfighting ability.

Definetely recommended if it doesn't cause headaches.

So by changing the fov it changed the speed of how you see things?

Not really , but the sense is stuff moves by faster.

Maybe we can create another AH myth from this.

"When you increase FOV, you fly faster"
"Ah, that's how the *insert plane* did catch my F4U, how gamey!"

I would wonder if the distorted sense of speed might screw with your ability to judge and predict distances.  Especially if the FOV is set in such a way that distances are warped at different amounts depending on where they are in your viewpoint.

Maybe I don't understand completely how this all really works though.

all it does is change the field of view.  I recommend leaving it at its default unless you use multiple monitors and you will not gain anything over someone else by adjusting your field of view.  It's not going to make you any better or worse than the next guy.

FOV does not give better SA, well maybe it does...1% better then the default. Learning to track bandits, classify them - based on height and speed - and do this every 2 seconds - is what SA is about.

The horrifying thing is, that is absolutely not farfetched at all.  I used to play an MMO game where you could customize your character's appearance, size, etc.

There were people there who believed shorter characters moved faster because the lower POV made it look like the ground was going by faster.

I dunno what you guys are smoking, but change your FOV to as low as you can go and try it a bit online; then try it at something high or so and see how your ability to dogfight is effected.

FOV's positive effects on one's ability to dogfight (for non-freelook players) is undeniable. Even with a freelook system, it makes a good bit of difference.

It's not going to give you an advantage no matter what your little mind thinks.  You're better off learning ACM and tactics than relying on FOV to *snicker* increase your mad skillz.
