| Summary | 0006428: Increased precision when aiming with bow | ||||
| Description | When aiming with the bow before shooting an arrow, precision is somewhat difficult using a mouse, but even more so when using a gamepad. When drawing the bow, after awhile the camera zooms in to simulate aiming. It may be helpful if the zoomed in phase was used to fine-tune the aiming with a higher degree of precision. Also tested in TDM 2.12/64 #10613 (beta212-02). Implementing increased precision may encourage shooting precision challenges in missions (similar to 0006411). Proposal: * Implement increased precision when aiming with bow * Add a setting Main Menu - Settings - Controls - General - "Sensitivity decrease in aiming", and try a default value (factor) somewhere between x3 and x5. A x3 value would mean that a player needs to move the mouse 3 times as far as usual to move the arrow head the same distance. Allow a precision of 0.1 for the value. Allowed values could be between x1 (same as today, with no increased precision) and maybe x10. * It may possibly be positive to also apply this same setting when using the spyglass, i.e. expect the user to first turn towards the target and when the spyglass is active, then a less sensitive control is applied to allow for a higher precision. | ||||
