Does silent aim actually help or is it placebo at close range

not a support post, actual discussion. silent aim is brilliant at 50m plus, shots land, view stays where i put it, feels normal.

in dorms it's a mess. two people in a room, i can't tell which one the shots are going to and i end up dumping a mag into a wall next to the one i'm looking at.

is that a tuning issue, fov or something, or is silent aim just not built for close range

it's not built for it. silent aim doesn't move your camera so it can't help you pick between two targets, that's the tradeoff for keeping the view free.

exactly this. use silent for mid and long, switch to a real lock for close. that's the whole point of having both.

depends on your fov setting. tighter fov and silent aim gets less confused

tighter fov helps a bit but it doesn't solve two targets in the same doorway

i just leave it on and accept that dorms is chaos. it's not worse than my normal aim tbh

going to bind silent to a key and toggle it off indoors. that seems like the obvious answer and i'm annoyed i didn't think of it.

that's the standard setup yeah
