is like asking people "would you like to be excluded from a massive
penalty?" Most will say yes, no matter how it ruins the immersion
just to get any advantage they can over the enemy. I would really
like for it to stay permanently, without option to turn it off. As
said above - ruining your enemy's aim can be a life saver in some
situation and is actually a matter of timing and skill.Overlord: Minor clarification: the purpose of disabling shaking effect is not
to make the game less realistic / more arcadish.
The reasoning behind this is solely technical. All the calculations are server side, that's way these shakings are often unsynchronized.
With 100 ms ping and even minor packet loss (rather ordinary situation) there will be a number of cases when the vehicle's hull is down in game client and up on server. Thus player won't get clear understanding of his gun and reticle actual positioning.
Revealing a secret, currently shaking effect while shooting/taking hit/starting movement/pulling up is client-side only, it makes aiming more difficult. On the server the vehicle is stationary in the cases mentioned.
We might change default "shaking effect" option to "off".
