How come when you enter advanced zoom your aiming become tonns more sensitive, wouldnt you want it to become less sensitve so you can actually aim? Pgi should change it so when you enter advanced zoom your sensitivitly automaticly drops so you arnt spazing around like an idoit half the time.

Maybe it can aim for us too!

Well, let's start. All games have accuracy decreased when zoomed in more, so, yeah, sorry.

Also lower your sensitivity if you think it's too much, if you already have... *Shrugs*

Program your mouse with macros....press zoom and mouse sensitivity drops.....leave zoom and sensitivity returns to normal.

Like any Scope. Moving around is not conducive to good solid aiming. Stay still. Your distance to target should be your protection. When was the last time you saw a Sniper jogging and firing his scoped Rifle? Not even Hollyweed does that ffs.

[Daiichidoku]

hopefully not cuz you are using AZ
at 300 or 200 or even less, meters to target

unlike what seems the majority of AZ users

Is there ever a need to run Adv. Zoom? Standard zoom works well enough for me even at max (C)ERLL range.

That's my opinion, I'd much rather have seismic and/or decay since they actually give me something useful.

If you want to spread damage literally everywhere and very unreliably hit with projectile weapons (PPC, gauss rifle) at such ranges, then yeah I guess you don't need a proper zoom function.

[Splatshot]

Gauss, PPC and AC2s are reasons to have Zoom...

Again, I don't really have an issue isolating components at range and I've not once used Adv. Zoom. I just have my zoom key set to toggle max zoom. Unquirked PPC's you're lucky if you hit a mech at max range, zoom or no due to projectile speed anyway. Guass/AC/ERLL are relatively trivial to hit your desired component. All imho of course and ymmv.

Oh, and I keep my situational awareness this way. Rather than guassing team mates in the back followed by "Sorry, was in zoom didn't see you".

I've never run advanced zoom ever, but OP, i understand your gripe and support you fully.

Get a mouse that has a DPI Shift Key.

Got a logitech g502 proteus core 2 months ago--holy crap what a difference from my old gaming mouse.

Maybe I'm bad but I run advance zoom all the damn time.

A lot of my mechs poke out to 600m and I want to direct that damage as much as possible.

On brawlers I don't bring it, Seismic and Deprivation take care of everything.

[Ghogiel]

Play around. Lower the sensitivity in windows mouse settings a tiny bit and up the sensitivity on the gaming mouse for regular play to compensate. Then when you hit adv zoom it's not as spazzy
