Graphics and visibility

Lower shadows and motion blur in War Thunder usually improve enemy readability. Test each change for a full match before stacking tweaks.

Field of view trades peripheral vision for target size — find a middle ground you can aim with consistently.

Input and sensitivity

Mouse acceleration off, consistent DPI, and cm/360 you can repeat across games build muscle memory faster.

Bind critical abilities to keys you can hit without moving your WASD hand off movement.

Audio setup

Headphones beat speakers for locating threats in War Thunder. Reduce music volume if footsteps are hard to hear.

Some games expose separate sliders for effects, dialogue, and UI — balance for combat cues first.
