Lateral field of view a bit narrow?


Recommended Posts

Just seems a bit weird to me that a guy stepping off a Chinook only has 90 degrees frontal arc view. Sure, stopping to look left and right is cool and realistic, but it just seems weird.

- bad picture but you get the point. Granted, with adrenaline and guns and explosions I always get tunnel vision, and most of my fellow soldiers/cops, too.

If the squaddie is wearing armour, that's on purpose. If you check the wolf armour xenopedia entry, the jackal helmet is described at "cumbersome", the wolf armour helmet is described as improved "although sight ranges are still marginally less than if the soldier were unarmoured". However, you can edit cones of vision in armours_gc.xml if you want to experiment.
