How do MG users deal with muzzle flash ?
Is there a way to remove it when using near-cockpit mounted MGs ?
I can't play the VPR-C with that strobe light effect. It literally hurts.

Remember to use full-screen for maximum "enjoyment"

Maybe its not as bad with a fov of 30 and max zoom... which would also explain alot of the piloting seen in pug matches

Very little can be done aside from the FoV tweak the guy above mentioned. Also, be sure to set the effects and particles setting to its lowest.

OP is that guy, is me
I have a very high/wide FoV since i'm gaming on a UltraWide monitor.
And i run everything at lowest setting already, not to be ultra comp, just to make the game "playable.
But i might do some experiments later with different graphic settings.

Any other mechs people would like to have documented as having painful cockpit muzzle flashes from MGs ?
I guess that the locust has the same issue.

I dunno. I've played with default FOV since the beginning and while I have never piloted something like a Pirate's Bane with MGs I have watched other people that have. All I can say is that it really doesn't hamper me, but I unfortunately have no advice for the people that it does bother.

All mechs with ballistics near its cockpit, such as Locust, Shadowhawk, Night Gyr etc...

How is your screen so wide

Careful. PGI might just nerf the Machine Gun again to solve the muzzle flash problem.

Two things
1) Asus PB298Q UltraWide(21:9) 29 inch monitor running a 2560 x 1080 resolution

Awesome monitor

2) "high" Field of View (FoV) setting. 85 i think.

Hello fish eye. I run 5760x1080 and I don't take it that far.

Interesting. What screen setup is that ?
My guess is 3 widescreen monitors each running 1920x1080.
Could you post a cockpit screenshot and your FoV value for comparison ?
