All these people using technical terms makes me feel stupid. I think the first comment made the most sense.

Let me shorten it a bit then:

Should I enable it? Yes, definitely.
What coefficient should I use? If your screen is 1920x1080 which is likely, use 178%.

What is the significance? Why 178% and not 154%. I play on console so idk if the same applies.

If you divide 1920 by 1080, you get 1,777 which is the same as 178%. Yes, the same applies for console. If you have a standard HD TV (1080p/Full HD or 720p/HD ready), then it should be 178%.

@Foodie88 hey man i am playing on a whats believed to be a standard 42" HD tv, its not a widescreen just standard. am i too assume its at 4:3 by default ??

Hi smileyface! What is the resolution of your TV? If it’s a HD TV, it shouldn’t be 4:3, it should be 16:9 and that is widescreen. If you have a 4:3 screen, it would look something like this (note the almost square dimensions):

This is also the reason why basing the system around 4:3 (133%) is a very strange decision. It’s been 10 years since most of those TV’s and monitors disappeared already.

haha awesome foodie thanks for the feeback i will change that setting first thing as soon as i get home !

will i notice a big difference in how the game feel by changing it to 178 ?

No problem man. If you want to know all in’s and out’s and in particular the why, check my longer topic on this: PSA: Universal soldier aiming, you *might* be using it wrong!

Well, you’re playing on console so I cannot tell what the exact effect will be. When I changed from 133% to 233% (mind you, I have a 2560x1080 screen so I need to use a different one) I felt that my basic sensitivity rose a little bit. I dropped it 2% because of that.

Now I feel like God when using the Gewehr M95 with 4x. It really feels much better to me - keeping the sensitivity feel the same when switching between 2x irons, 4x scope or 8x scope.

In BF3 I could aim so fast that the movement was barely visible; I aimed purely by feeling and muscle memory. See a guy, aim in his general direction, scope in, gauge how much you are off, flick the mouse very fast in the right direction and fire. Hit nearly every time. The entire past sentence takes less than 1 second.

That feeling never returned in BF4 - it always felt ‘off’ to me. Since I changed my settings in BF1, I am getting near the same performance as in BF3. With a little bit more practice, I’ll soon be at the same level again I think.
