The perfect FOV in dogfight

[Untamo]

S!

I use 120 degrees (with San's FOV changer) for cruise and while searching for targets, switching to "Wide" from time to time to zoom closer. During dogfights I keep the 120, switching to "Wide" to take a deflection/close shot. I sometimes use the strongest zoom (don't remember the name for it) to spray the enemy from far with MGs to make him turn

For normal cruise, I feel the "Wide" is like having tunnel vision. Thus, the need for San's FOV changer.

EDIT: I personally don't understand why are we limited to these limits of 20-~90degrees. Why can't we set anything we want? Sure, it will go distorted if you go too far, but it'll be your own eyesore .. On my 30" screen, viewed from an arms length (~1m) 120 degrees still looks nice and IMHO gives me a more realistic view of the game world. We do have ~180 degree FOV in real life, don't we?

Is there any way to set toggle FOV to between just wide view and zoomin gunsight view? I rarely use normal view, but default FOV toggle switch between these 3 modes. It's kinda annoying. I just need 2 views and switching back and forth.

Not with IL-2. With Autohotkey you could use this

NormView(){
    Send {NumpadIns}       ; e.g. FOV 90°
    return 0
}
GunView_Hold(){
    Send +{F1}             ; toggle Gunsight view
    Send {NumpadDiv}       ; e.g. FOV 30°
    KeyWait %A_ThisHotkey%
    Send +{F1}             ; toggle Gunsight view
    return 0
}

Cmd_View_SightViewOnHold:
    GunView_Hold()
    NormView()
    return

Make sure that the keys triggered by Autohotkey are configured in IL-2 (or vice versa).
