Archers/Xbow users -- How do you aim? [poll]

[Penitent]

I made a post like this a long time ago, but I don't think I had a poll.  I'm just curious.

How do you line up most of your shots? (of course certain circumstances change things).

[Earthdforce]

When I use an xbow (especially from a castle's walls), I'm usually in first person without zoom. On my archer alt and my HC alt, I just keep it in the non-zoomed third person for speed.

[Miwiw]

Voted other. I never use the same view, I just change it randomly. It depends on the bow, the build, wpf and map part. Always different for me. I'm 80% in 3rd person view though. Worked better in native but Im used to it now. ;P

I voted incorrectly, so you can subtract one from 1st person standard, and change to 3rd person standard.

I typically 3rd person standard at medium & close range.   Long range I'll sometimes use zoomed in.

[Havoco]

I switch between 1st and 3rd person. Depends if there is cover or not.

[Miley]

3rd person zoom most of the time. 3rd person no zoom sometimes because I feel like I hit more. 1st person zoom when trying to get someone at a steep angle (like looking below you).

3. person and zoomed in, no matter if 1 or 100 meter shot.

[HardRice]

1st person zoomed in most of the time.

[Lt_Anders]

3rd person, Zoomed or 3rd person normal. Depends on how accurate i wish to be and what I'm doing.

When I first got this game, I must have spent about 5 months on the Native module multiplayer before I realized you could go to first person or zoom.

Whenever I played as a ranged character in Warband/cRPG, I preferred standard first person.

It just gives you a better look around the terrain, so you can calculate trajectory easier when relating to the surroundings of the target.

Zoom is optional, rarely used it, although it has it's advantages, if you get used to it.

[Overdriven]

As HA first person view standard. Only zoom in for a very long shot and likely if I'm stationary. 99% of my shots are standard though.

3rd person is fing weird for ranged due to the weird angles vs your POV. Particularly when shooting upwards/at range.

[Christo]

But aiming is weird in 3rd person. The arrows fly off at a very odd angle in regards to your POV. It doesn't make for good judgement I've found. Could never get used to 3rd person.

Yeah, I mixed 3rd and 1st person up for some reason, look at the post again, corrected.
