Heya, I have a suggestion: I would really like to see a smaller reticle in MWO.
Current one takes too much space, which not only futher clutters UI, but makes it harder for you to aim for specific components.
Considering MWO hitboxes, where 1 pixel to the left and you hit RT instead of CT, it sometimes results in you hitting different component than you initially planned.
It also makes it especially hard to aim for headshots, since your reticle is bigger than enemies head.

Changing the size of crosshair is not hard and will take 5 minutes max to do, so it's very quick and easy QoL improvement.

Below I have screenshots of current reticle size and reticle with 65% of original size:

Smaller might be too small for some, just as current size might be too large for you.
The correct way to do it would be to allow the player to tweak their HUD according to their preference, but we all know it won't happen.

That's why I made the poll, so we can gather peoples opinions.
Yeah, adding an option would be the best, but it's marginally harder than just making it smaller.
Other option would be to make a few versions of crosshairs and put them on the website as official mods (modders can do that, if PGI doesn't have time), so people can choose. But I think PGI won't go this route, even tho it's succesfully used in WoT for example.

Allow players to change color and SWITCH which part is tied to the Torso vs Arms. The current setup has always felt backwards to me.

Just make it where people can customize it. KISS method man, no point in trying to make it "perfect" when they can do the work.
