I use a single monitor and I guess dual and triple monitors benefit from large FOV? 120 on a single monitor is a setting I don't see me playing but when FOV is extended on 3 monitors it must be cool, like really cool. Anyone to share pictures of such a setup?

Was at 69 for a while and now testing 90. I'm curious to know what's the average.

I use 60. If your FOV is occupied by the cockpit, you just have a harder time seeing out of it.

Single panel 27" 1440p, 90 FOV. U see more of the sides. Any more and it looks fish-eyed.

[Y E O N N E]

27" monitor, 2560x1440, 100 FoV.

[Daggett]

90° on all mechs except Piranha, which feels too claustrophobic for me on higher FOVs than 60°.

1920x1080, I use the default FOV (60)

[justcallme A S H]

73 for me currently - No idea how it ended up there, probably did it while I was drunk.

[Anastasius Foht]

360 FTW

80 give me the best overview ...and important for little Targets in the Corner

[suffocater]

85 now for ages and don't feel the urge to change it.

100 in triple ultrawide. Awesome cockpit I think?


Slight fisheye on side monitors but I like it. Just glance to see sides. Less mousing around.

Just a question.
Can we adjust FOV in game or is it a drive4 feature?
I use a Single monitor, 27 Zoll, 1080.

Adjustable in game.on the fly. Don't know what drive 4 is? Do you mean driver?
Ya so hit escape. Settings. Field of view. Done.

default when I play

[Tier5 Kerensky]

23.5 inches, 1920x1080, 90 degrees. I recall someone said 90 is natural so I've use it.

75 to 80 here.

While that is true, on some mechs being able to see beyond the bars is very handy, after all if you get tunnel vision... you're bound to get blindsided. I also frequently use CTRL and the mouse to look around.

[LordNothing]

whatever the default is. but i also use trackir for freelook.

Larger FOVs are only good on curved/multi-panel displays. On anything else the proportions go out of whack unless you're sitting really close, or have a REALLY big display i.e. a projector.

Default and since my rig died I don't plan on playing mwo for at least a year and by then it might be offline so meh. It did make using the lct-1v(p) ultra-hard mode. Playing with an eye patch would be easier than seeing out of that mech and surviving qp matches.
