Thanks!

This is with 16:10 aspect ratio?

In your opinion, which of the settings feels the most natural?

All taken from exactly the same spot. Makes the bridge look much further away the more you increase the FOV.

Probably somewhere between 65 and 75 would be ideal for me. Anything above that started to feel really strange ingame.

Rather big difference there between 55 and 95 you can fit a full squad of guys next to the fence and not see them on 55. Cool

Just so you understand, the value you enter in the config file is the vertical FOV. Use this FOV calculator if you know your preferred horizontal setting already (e.g. from BF2/TF2 etc)

Looks like about 70 would be best for me. Unfortunate that the gun's viewmodel isn't affected by the FoV, but oh well.

Fiddled with that a little, made a list of the horizontal field of views displayed in all the TC's screenshots.

55 FoV = ~80 horizontal FoV
65 FoV = ~90 horizontal FoV
75 FoV = ~100 horizontal FoV
85 FoV = ~110 horizontal FoV
95 FoV = ~120 horizontal FoV

I fit the 55 FOV onto the 200 FOV... in paint lol. Hopefully this will give a good representation. The difference is actually insane imo.
