Have I been using the tool right?

I've switched back from 100% mm to 0, feels like home. Drimzi switched as well, from viewspeed to 0.

Nice! I switched to 0% last night for BF1 and BF4. I played some BF1 and it seemed like I was hitting my shots a tad better than usual in ADS. Maybe not as good with a scope though. That said I had my FOV for both BF games set to 74 vertical and lowered them enough to match the 103HFOV that I use in OW so there wasn't a big transition I guess. I think I will notice the changes more with games like PUBG or Destiny 2 where the FOV is like 80-90 HFOV. I did increase the HFOV in Destiny to the max which isn't far off from 103 HFOV but I am not sure I really like that high of an FOV for Destiny. Would like to get about the same FOV across all my games if possible but some games it doesn't seem realistic or ideal. PUBG for example I think is better with the regular FOV as wackjacky has stated because it allows you to more easily see enemies further away and increasing the FOV gives like a 10% performance it. At least when he released his video on it.

By the way, what is COD promod?

Can't beat 90 FOV @4:3   

Call of duty 4 - Promod. Its a competitive mod of the base game.

Hmm my monitor is 16:9 though. I feel like I am missing something... haha

Oh cool! I played the blackout beta a bunch the other weekend. It was fun! Haven't played COD in years though haha.

90 FOV @ 4:3 will just be 106.26 FOV @ 16:9

This is called the Hor+ FOV Type in games. The vertical FOV is unchanged but the horizontal is cropped or added depending on your aspect ratio. The most common Hor+ type is in base 4:3 since older CRT monitors were 4:3.

Ohhh that makes sense! So he is saying from his perspective I should try to go for 106.26 FOV @16:9 if I can for games? Basically a 90 FOV on a 4:3 aspect ratio gets stretched to 106.26 for a 16:9 aspect ratio?

Yeah pretty much. If you use the Hdeg 4:3 option in the calculator and enter 90 it will calculate the actual HFOV for your aspect ratio.

Ohh interesting. I usually just leave that option alone tbh haha. I tried it out and I see what you are saying that setting it to Hdeg 4:3 and entering 90 gives you an HFOV of 106.26 degrees. I moved my BF HFOV to match my OW one at 103 since you can't change OW. Should I change the BF ones back to 106.26? 106.26 is what CSGO uses right?

The calculator tells you everything you need to know about the FOV.

Do you use 0% match for hipfire as well even though the cm/360 can change by a decent amount when the FOV changes drastically or do you try to maintain a specific cm/360 for hipfire and 0% for everything else?

Take the FOV "change" as if you were to aim down the sights. Would you want the same 360 ? Probably not !

Keep your aim consistent @kelvinator and convert everything via 00% method.

I didn't think of it from that perspective. Thank you for that! :)
