Instead of this: 

 

Give them this:

I'd prefer the outer ring corresponds to the cone on breacher flak. Charged and secondary will hit the centre dot.

It makes it way harder to aim with charged shots though which is especially an issue on Vytro. You should be aiming at the center of mechs while using shotguns anyway, so estimating the spread with the larger circle doesn't really help much.

Nah, real men use squiggly lines in the shape of a... I mean. Ahem. We use straight lines perpendicular to one another with a two-humped catch at the bottom and a simple triangle at the top. For those targets that are just a bit too low or high to target normally. All a man ever needs in a video game really. Xhair's are so 90's man.

I would correct that the aim should be in maximizing the area of the hitbox in relation to the effective area of the spread. In close ranges this is indeed done by aiming in the middle, but in the midranges where as long as you can fit the hitbox completely inside the spread area, it doesn't matter where you aim, as the probability space is the same for each type of event (hitting all, the cases for hitting partially and hitting none).

 

Which is why I think there should be a set (or at least a weighed random) spread, with a bias aiming towards the middle for maximum damage.

Circle can scale down for unknown reasons (for breacher charged/uncharged no matter).

It is /was random but I wish that it would stay small.

I wouldn't mind if it scaled down for charged shots and remain larger for flak shot.
