Many players have developed a sense for firing before the gun is fully aimed, because they know the shot will (likely) still hit. There’s a good reason for this. A little-known quirk is that the reticle size does not match the shell distribution. In fact, even when fully aimed, shots only land in a small inner part of the reticle.
Left: M53/M55 with 0.5799 accuracy; the SPG reticle is the correct size.
Center: Renault FT with 0.5800 accuracy; the reticle is much larger than the one on the left.
Right: The same Renault FT, but with this mod installed. The reticle is now the correct size.
Fixing this has a surprisingly big affect on how the game feels. There are some things it won’t fix:
Lag
Bad aim
Bad RNG – shots can still bounce or miss
