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!](https://battlefieldforum.co/t/psa-universal-soldier-aiming-you-might-be-using-it-wrong/102783)

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.
