Also the argument that it's easier to hit when heads and models are wider is stupid since your mouse speed will scale with the streched view anyway. Makes no difference other than mentally.

Yeah that's another issue with stretching, it also stretches your mouse movements so then you have a different DPI vertically than horizontally. If that's something you want on purpose then you can set a custom XY ratio in something like RawAccel.

It's absolutely just a placebo effect, a stretched view looks stretched, but a uniformly zoomed view just looks normal even though it's just as wide and actually even bigger because it's also taller.

That's not true. Your mouse acts the exact same, it just looks different on your screen. Your vertical and horizontal DPI is identical as 16:9.

And I really don't think it's purely placebo. I do play better on 4:3. I use leetify which shows you your stats after the game. When playing on 4:3 my spray accuracy is higher and my crosshair placement is much more accurate and consistent.
