Was that in vr?

Noticed if under flight in settings if you enable aim assist a box will form around the closet plane in your view..which is a help as you don't need to read the distance of numerous icons..and the box shows through all clouds but the most dense..

Your view us not pulled around with the plane as a tracking view would...at least in vr it doesn't

All of this is used by those posting films on yt declaring their greatness...

No, I do not use VR but 43" HDTV. When marked con slipped behind or under me, attempts to follow had certainly won some free style aerobatics competition.

It bears mentioning that these target boxes may be used to train tracking overlays, a.k.a. aim-bots.

Not an accusation, just an observation.  :bolt:

Yeah nah, most fps aim-bots are trying to solve a much simpler problem. In AH you've got to solve the problem for 2 moving objects in 3 axis (each) with 3 potential movement vectors, 3 potential acceleration vectors, plus at a far longer distance where ballistics make a big difference. FPS stuff is usually 2 aixs, 2 movement axis, very little acceleration, usually on a flat plan with very little impact from ballistics (comparatively).

The built in lead compute gunsight already knows your targets information - like a modern radar - so is able to provide a more accurate picture for the calculations. But even then it's not perfect and imho there are things you can do to throw it off.
