Crosshairs Discussion (2016 Edition)

[stonie]

At this point I'd like to change my opinion about crosshairs.
I played some missions in the campaign and for whatever reason (I have really no idea why...) crosshairs and several other helpers were turned off. The fact that I didn't notice it for several missions in the campaign, made me change my mind. Therefore I'm now all for turning crosshairs off, as they are not really needed in A3. Besides that, screenshots look prettier without a crosshair in the center of the screen.

The socialist agrarian utopia is a democratic socialist republic

What's funny is that "sovereign, socialist, secular, democratic republic" is a quote from the Indian constitution.

I agree with Costno, crosshairs help a lot with judging if the line of fire is intercepting wonky rocks and walls inches from the gun. Especially with the statics and ARs it becomes far too easy to use the crosshairs to engage things at any reasonable distance.

I recently found about the ui element fade (an option under difficulty settings), the UI even at the smallest size takes up a good portion of the screen. Issue is this setting is affected by the serverside one(?), might be nice to have it enabled (having it fade that is).

Sorry bit of a topic derail, but relevant since this is a discussion about UI elements

Crosshairs do help check for obstructions, yet at the same time, with 1Tac I don't notice their absence all that much. I do find them useful for MG suppressing fire, though.
