16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratio for FOV calculation?

There are a lot of different information and statements about whether the 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio is used to calculate the horizontal FOV (as the value entered represents the vertical FOV).

So, some do say it's still 4:3 as it was with past BF games, including also BFV. Others do say Dice removed the 4:3 ratio and now with BF2042 it's the 16:9 ratio.

Now... Can please someone officially confirm what's now used with BF2042, so that I known how I have to calculate the vertical FOV. 😊

    Adding a comment to pump the post up so it's again on top and thus more visible. 😁

    I did... There are different statements and posts, and, people that do report that a value of vertical FOV equals 74 feels different between BFV and BF2042, which indicates that the aspect ratio works differently in the two games.

    So, I would say it's now 16:9 but again, others claim it's still 4:3.

    This is just awesome, and given the time invested programming the logic, converter, I'm 100% confident that this is true.

     

    So, BF2042 is 16:9 and not 4:3 as with BFV!

     

    Thank you really much for sharing!!!
