Hi all,

 

Do you use "Static" or "Dynamic" crosshair?

 

BTW, I am still using "Static" and I am faithful to the good old "Nappelcommander" MOD by @Nappelcommander ... IMHO the best there is... :Smile_Default:

Dynamic.

But it makes no difference for me since I only use the highest magnification on my sights anyway.

Dynamic, but I'm not sure if I actually make use of it or not. I do all of my aiming by eyeballing it, I pay no attention to the numbers or markers. I'm not even sure if changing the crosshair would make any difference or if suddenly I wouldn't be able to land a hit.

Dynamic, since it looks so much better on 21:9.

I also prefer that the scale is made for 30 knots targets.

On Minotuar I zoom a bit out sometimes, but I guess I do not look on the scale that much in that case.

I don't even remember... haven't looked at that for months, just using the one I've used "forever", never change a running system :D

Static.

When dynamic came out I tried it but it just kept distracting me so I missed more.

 

Static has become so familiar during these 2+ years that I will stick to that.

It changed my life when I switched from static to dynamic. I really enjoy it and will never go back to static, it helps a lot to aim at fast ships at long distance when you need to zoom less

Vanilla static since Jan/2015 :cap_rambo:

 

 

Tbh, never even tried the dynamic crosshair.  Overall I'm very faithful to the "original setup";  I refused to use minimap ship names even after they introduced it officially, until like month ago I gave in and started using it. Just easier to check which DD it was who was spotted briefly, instead of asking it from your team.  Also, alternative battle interface is a no go, I'll press ALT if I need additional info.

I started with the dynamic one when it first came out and I haven't switched back. Didn't have any problems switching since I was used to eyeballing it, and doing it well. Now I've gotten lazy and tend to use the numbers more.

i use static since i first played the game, tryed dynamic once but for me it was no keeper as the scaling is too diffrent and i do not want to retrain my aim and feeling for it, would actually be more intresting if we could A: read the scaling on the scope in sniper view (especially for newbie freindliness) and B: rescale the thing as needed

Static, type 7 I believe. The one with those extra angled lines.

Static is just too familiar, and I almost never use less than max zoom (except for close range and when checking for smoke as it shows up when you're not fully zoomed)

And those angled lines serve 2 purposes - 1st it's easier to judge the "vertical lead" you need to give to an angled target and 2nd - when you use spotter plane it actually allows you to aim

I've gotten so used to the shell speeds and arcs of the ships i play i don't even use the crosshair itself anymore.

But i'm still using dynamic even tho i don't actually use it too aim

Static. The classic OBT-crosshair, but with longer reticle. I got used to the static crosshair, and that to not distract my mind use it in a locked zoom level (the highest one) whenever it is possible.

But I do remember not tinkering much with the dynamic crosshair, who knows, maybe I'll take another try now, just to see how are things going to go.

Dynamic, but with the Nomogram mod. I can make static work, but I don't like eyeballing it.

Static No7 since it was added to the game. Before that a sight from the modpacks with likewise angular lines to help a bit with depth perception for non perpendicular courses.

Dynamic - Nomogram mod from Aslains.  A dynamic crosshair with ticks for 20 & 30 knots moving targets. Really helpful on long ranges, but feels a little bit like cheating. :Smile_hiding:

I switched to a dynamic crosshair mod when I got to the higher tier USN DDs, back when stealth fire was still a thing. At those ranges (even without AFT), and those shell arcs, you need to zoom out to even see your target from your aim point. That's where dynamic crosshair matters. After that I simply got used to it, and I've been using it ever since.
