Graphics feature State WSGF Notes
Widescreen resolution
 
 Run moha_setup.exe again to configure the resolution. Game was designed for 4:3 aspect ratio; 16:10/16:9 resolutions are Vert-. At resolutions higher than 720p, the black background of the meeting room does not cover correctly, allowing to see NPCs in T-pose.[6]
Multi-monitor
 
 Run moha_setup.exe again to configure your resolution.
Ultra-widescreen
 
 Image is Vert-. FOV can be increased to compensate but this requires an external mod. See Field of view (FOV).
4K Ultra HD
 
 Some scaling issues with HUD and loading screens, nothing that makes the game unplayable. Key binding screen may not function correctly at 4K due to improper scaling.
Field of view (FOV)
Vert-. See Field of view (FOV).
Windowed
See Windowed.
Borderless fullscreen windowed
Anisotropic filtering (AF)
See the glossary page for potential workarounds.
Anti-aliasing (AA)
Nvidia Profile Inspector flag: 0x00000045.[7] or use SweetFX for SMAA. Extract archive contents to executable location.
Vertical sync (Vsync)
60 FPS and 120+ FPS
High dynamic range display (HDR)
See High dynamic range display (HDR).

Field of view (FOV)

Custom FOV with Patrxgt's fix[citation needed]
  1. Download FOV fix.
  2. Extract the desired FOV files to the configuration file(s) location.
  3. Run the game and press any movement key (WSAD) to change in-game Field of View
Returning to the default settings removes the FOV fix.
Using MOHAWeapon.ini might break aiming through sights by causing constantly flickering FOV.
Custom FOV with Medal Of Honor Airborne Redux[citation needed]
  1. Download Medal of Honor: Airborne Redux.
  2. Extract the desired FOV files to the configuration file(s) location.
  3. Run the game and press any movement key (WSAD) to change in-game Field of View
Redux also features other changes, namely to the AI. It is possible to use the mod to change the FOV without using the modified AI.
Redux's FOV fix may change the game's controls and language. Change the language through the fix provided below. The controls can not be changed permanently without uninstalling the fov fix. The controls can be changed temporarily, however.

Mouse acceleration

Disable mouse acceleration[citation needed]

  2. Open MOHAInput.ini.
  3. Change bUseViewAcceleration=true to bUseViewAcceleration=false.

Mouse sensitivity

When aiming down sights, even the smallest of mouse movements will cause the crosshair to "skip" several dozen pixels, interfering with the ability to aim precisely at small targets. This can be addressed in the following ways:
Change iron sights and scope sensitivity[citation needed]
  1. Launch game at least once and configure your controls.
  2. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  3. Open MOHAWeapon.ini.
  4. Locate section [MOHAGame.WeaponTrueTriggerComponent] and tweak these cvars:
ScopeMovementSensitivityMultiplierMin=0.8
ScopeMovementSensitivityMultiplierMax=0.25
AbsoluteMinScopeSensitivityMultiplier=0.1
LateralAmplitude=0 // Multiplier for how much the scope "drifts" horizontally.
VerticalFrequency=0 // How quickly the scope drift goes through it's pattern

Notes

This will work only for singleplayer. For multiplayer, delete MOHAWeapon.ini and let game generate a new one.
Not working with iron sights.

Toggle aim down sights

Toggle aim down sights[citation needed]

Open a new AutoHotkey script & insert the following. 

RButton::
