🆘 Sniper Centering Tip【Rangefinder Auto-Zero Setup】
⠀⠀➥ Most Broken Sniper Mechanic
A lot of players think the rangefinder on their sniper doesn’t do anything
⠀➥ but once you set it up properly, it’s almost cheating
    💡Setup Tip: Bind Range Finder Zeroing if Zoomed to the same button you use for:
      • 1) ADS (Right-Click)
      • 2) Fire/Shot (Left-Click) ➔ for this one, you have to Aim & Hold down
    • Now, every time you aim down sights, your rifle will automatically zero to your target’s distance.
    • You’ll notice a small indicator on your HUD (bottom-right corner) showing the calibrated range.
    • That means your bullet drop is practically gone ➔ every shot lines up perfectly with the crosshair. Sniping feels point-and-click simple.

✈️ Aircraft Controls
💡One setting that often confuses players is Invert Vertical Flight - Aircraft, which is enabled by default ➔ I recommend turning it OFF as it'll make flying feel much more natural, like aiming with your regular soldier mouse controls.

You can also fine-tune your Helicopter / Aircraft Control Sensitivity to match your DPI and comfort level ➔ it’s worth experimenting until you find the sweet spot for accuracy and control.
... or Vehicle Mouse Aim Sensitivity for all Vehicles

⠀⠀🚁 Helicopter Controls like Infantry
💡If you’re mainly a ground soldier and struggle with helicopter controls
⠀⠀➥ try switching to a ❝rifle-aiming❞ style setup
⠀⠀➥ makes flying much more natural / feel similar to aiming & moving on foot.
    Here's how it works:
    • Keep W / S for throttle up and down
    • Under Yaw Right / Left, remove your A & D keys ➔ set them to Mouse Right / Left
      • ➔ Now moving your mouse right/left turns the helicopter right/left
      • much more natural way to fly the helicopter
    • For Roll Left / Right, unbind the mouse directions and set D = Roll Right and A = Roll Left
    • Optionally: bind Spacebar = Yaw Right and Ctrl = Yaw Left for smoother turning

🏃‍♂️ Slide Keybind & Movement Fix
    💡Set your Slide key to the same button as your crouch key ➔ it makes movement feel smoother and more natural, very similar to other games or previous Battlefields.
    • L Ctrlstand up after slide
    • Cstay crouched after slide
    This setup keeps movement intuitive:
    • Standing still ➜ press to crouch
    • Running ➜ press to slide
    ✅Most fluid and consistent way to move around the map.

⌨️ Keyboard & Mouse Tuning + 👁️FOV
💡For mouse & keyboard players, Zoom Sensitivity Coefficient can dramatically improve aim.
⠀⠀➥ If you’ve been used to older Battlefield games (like BF4) the default 178 may feel off
⠀⠀➥ Setting it back to 133 can reduce over-flicking and make sniping & tracking feel smoother

⠀➥ Infantry (section)
⠀⠀➥ Control Settings【EDIT
⠀⠀⠀➥ AIM (section)
⠀⠀⠀⠀➔ Zoom Sensitivity Coefficient
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⇒ set to【133】for 16:9
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀(Personally I'm on 21:9)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⇒ so I kept it on【178
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀(more info below + some math)
⠀⠀⠀🔵Optionally
⠀⠀⠀⠀➔ Infantry Mouse Aim Sensitivity
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⇒ set to your liking【8-40?
⠀⠀⠀⠀➔ Field of View
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⇒ set to your liking【~106?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀(Personally I'm on 21:9)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⇒ experimenting【110-120
    💡Your Field of View (FOV) is worth experimenting with.
    • A range of 105–110 should be ideal for most players
      • ➔ it gives you awareness without the fisheye effect
    • Going too wide can make distant targets harder to aim at
    • If you mainly play close quarters, you might prefer a FOV=85

⠀⠀🤔 Coefficient Value Debate
    There’s debate in comments about way to set Zoom Sensitivity Coefficient value:
    • Øuantum3 ➔ Suggests setting coefficient to 0 for "uniform aiming", as just enabling Uniform Aim doesn’t work alone.
    • Xypher ➔ Says turning it off has the same effect; alternatively, use 178 for 16:9 or 233.3 for 21:9 to unify muscle memory across zoom levels.
    • god’s drunkest driver: Argues it doesn’t work ➔ 0 ≠ uniform, off ≠ uniform; no setting can fully unify distances across all zoom levels.
📌 Bottom line: You can tweak coefficient for personal preference, but there’s no perfect "uniform" setting ➔ Test and stick with what feels natural for you

⠀⠀🖥️ Ultrawide 21:9 Coefficient Aim
Disclaimer: Yeah... I’m one of those 21:9 enjoyers 😎

If your base zoom sensitivity coefficient is 133 (typical for standard 16:9 & old BFs), then for ultrawide (21:9) you want to scale it proportionally to maintain similar feel across different FOVs.
A simple approach is:
⠀⠀⠀➥ Base 16:9 FOV = 90
⠀⠀⠀➥ Base coefficient = 133 (old BFs)

💡This keeps aiming roughly consistent for muscle memory
⠀⠀➥ You can tweak slightly based on feel

✅My Recommendation for 21:9 FOV = 106 ⇒【~156-158
✅My Recommendation for 21:9 FOV = 120 ⇒【~178

🎨 Color Profiles
💡Adjusting Color Profiles makes the game pop
⠀⠀➥ sharper icons, clearer targets, and easier visibility
    Here’s why it works:
    • 🎨Default colors look washed out and pale
    • 💡Switch to bright, high-contrast tones for better clarity
    • Set Enemies = Bright 🔴Red and Squad = Bright 🟢Green
    • 🎯Makes spotting enemies at range with Recon / Sniper much easier
    • ⚡You’ll instantly notice more targets and react faster

⠀⠀🎯 Crosshair Colors & Hit Indicators
    💡Customizing your Crosshair Colors helps with quick feedback during fights.
    • 💀Red = Headshot, great for knowing how much health your enemy has left
    • 🔢Combine with damage numbers for precise tracking
    • 🎯Seeing that red flash lets you know you’re close to a kill ➔ just a few more body shots
    • 👀Make hit indicators slightly larger to better spot numbers and call out damage to teammates

🗺️ HUD & Mini-Map Optimization
💡It might not seem like a huge difference, but every extra pixel on your mini-map counts. Tagged enemies, tanks, or players appearing clearly give you a major advantage. Set your mini-map to be as large as possible for maximum awareness. 👀

🔇 Reduce Female Soldier Shouting
💡In some language versions of Bf, female soldiers can shout loud (...very loud).
⠀⠀➥ While you can’t control other players’ choice
⠀⠀➥ You can reduce your female soldiers’ shouting... by changing to male...
⠀⠀➥ Not judging ➔ just personal preference ;)

also just found a YT video that basically shows, what I was suggesting for the Heli controls & and how it actually works

@Cranshock You're right it... you shouldn't change "Heli Assist Ascend/Descend" at all... I made a mistake while making screenshot ~2AM 🤦‍♂️

I've changed info & I'll update screenshot once I have a sec
Cranshock 28 Oct @ 3:54am 
First of all I want to say this is a nice guide and even if I'm not adopting all of it, I still found a lot of this useful and interesting, so thanks for putting in the time @RalfekS :steamhappy:

I do have a question regarding setting the Heli-controls though, I'm not sure if I'm doing it wrong, but when I clear the ascend/descend buttons and only have increase/decrease throttle on W and S, I can't take off at all.. what am I missing?

All the best,
Cranshock

The mouse section is sub-optimal in so many ways
RalfekS  [author] 24 Oct @ 6:55pm 
@Xypher you're correct, 133 was based on 3:4 ➔ but I guess if you're used to 4:3 from CS2 / older games 133 might feel more natural?

Generally speaking it seems like no one is sure what's the best here:
- For 4:3, set the coefficent to 133.3
- If using a 16:9 display, set the coefficient to 177.7
- For 21:9 Ultrawide, set the coefficient to 233.3
- For 32:9 Ultrawide, set the coefficient to 355.5
https://gist.github.com/Jotunn/a574f25d18376f53bd1fb0ff8e4b9e04

While some argue, that 0% is best
https://www.reddit.com/r/Battlefield/comments/1micyd6/why_you_should_use_0_instead_of_133_universal/

so I guess personal preference? 🤷‍♂️ but I'll do some reading and update guide with some tl;dr
Xypher 24 Oct @ 6:22pm 
Wasn't 133 based on 4:3 ratio? Though most games used that so It might help with muscle memory. Otherwise for 16:9, 177.7 would be correct.
RalfekS  [author] 24 Oct @ 8:24am 
@d0mer tbh good thing you didn’t notice ... just updated the images with red squares to make it easier to see where to click/change

@Øuantum3 & @Xypher & @god's drunkest driver
I'm planning to add info about coefficient ... personally I'd set even set it at 133 as it matches previous Bfs
playlikearaven666 23 Oct @ 11:51pm 
awesome guide, keep up the great work
@Xypher It doesn't. 0 coefficient is 0% monitor match, off is off. You cant have unified distance for the whole screen on any setting
Xypher 23 Oct @ 12:47am 
@Øuantum3 Turning it off has the same effect so just turn it off instead of setting it to 0. Or if you fancy having it on, 178 for 16:9 and 233.3 for 21:9 as that unifies the muscle memorization for each zoom distances.
