When shooting high at walls, 1st person zoomed is the best.
On regular battle, it's always 3rd person, zoomed for all except close melee shots, or quick shots.

this is gonna be skewed by xbow vs archers

i think most archers use 3rd zoomed while most xbows probably use 1st zoomed, going from bows to xbows 1st zoomed just "felt" better

3rd person + zoom, anything more is too much trouble.

Other.

Most of the time, be it Siege, Battle or Defend the cmp, I use 3rd person view default. Nothing should be taking my awareness there in any situation.

In Strategvs battles I use a lot the zoom of the 3rd person view, specially those use Sieges with silly ranged on the other side standing still (easy targets), on the stalemate moments (beginning of Sieges or Battles, or when the distance justifies it).


edit: forgot to mention that I'm using a Bow.

I'm allways aiming in first person.

But I'm switching from 3rd- to 1st person many times, its like;

drawing the bow > 1st person > aim > shot > 3rd person > drawing the bow... and so on.

Most of my shots are third person, zoomed. ~30% are unzoomed

I only go first person when I am standing by obstacles, and I need to shoot around/through something.
Also, I have declared myself #1 NA hybrid thrower
Formerly known as Marathon.
As an NA admin, I am the most laid back and concerned with the ~fun of the game~ above all other factors. I've also been super inactive since Summer 2012. University takes most of my time, but I still find some time to play when i can.
