So im trying something new. On a few select mechs in my garage, namely the Rockateer w/ homing shot, Vanguard and the Bruiser both equipped with mg cannon, I have shut off both the primary and secondary crosshairs. Now all i have for aiming is the hit indicator and my heat gauges. i can see better now that the view is uncluttered. I reccomend you all give it a try, its working for me.

I turned off the secondary reticule a while ago and now I stick to using just the default or the circle/dot primary reticules. It's easier to aim with less visual obstruction and the default allows me to concentrate soley on the center dot.

When I found out you could turn off both at the same time, I thought it was a funny notion.

You definitely don't need crosshairs on rocketeer or bruiser, aiming is automated.

Also rev gl grenadier needs no crosshair at all, and is in fact improved w/ out any.

I personally find it easier to aim with certain custom reticules for certain mechs/weapons.

 

 

I saw I commented on this on the frontpage and was like "wtf is this thread?".

I've still no idea what the title has to do with the contents of the topic.

I tried running with a  mumble cross hair that was just a 4px high dot, but I lost track of it to easily and forgot to turn it on half the time.

My FPS isn't exactly kind enough to keep me from removing the cursor, nor is my eyesight kind enough to allow me to see the reticules clearly in certain situations.

In the first starwars movie, luke skywalker shuts off his targeting and "uses the force" at the behest of the ghost of obi wan kenobi. the force enables his accurate shot in spite of not having crosshairs to guide his aim. i hope that clarifies the reference. starwars is a classic movie. don't get cocky kid or you are gonna find yourself floating home.

I have tried Gren with no crosshairs, it's an interesting experience.

I want to try no crosshairs on gren, but gren is the only artistic reason at all for the range-leaf sight thing.

That's a very interesting idea, i find it Quite hard to aim most of the time perhaps this can improve my MMR

You like that better? My monitors have that also and it seems to be more obstructive to me over the in game reticules.
