Mouse acceleration

Disable mouse acceleration[citation needed]
  1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
  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 you'd have to delete MOHAWeapon.ini and let game generate 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::
If NotPushed := Not NotPushed
Send {RButton Down}
Else
Send {RButton Up}
Return

Notes

If you prefer to use middle mouse button replace all instances of RButton with MButton.
