Still don't know that the server reticule is but okay. Never downloaded any of the mods because I wasn't sure what it was
The Server Reticle is an option in Game Settings.
However, if you select it, you'll have massive lag with your aiming reticle and it will make aiming/shooting accurately impossible (which is ironic since that's the point of using a server reticle, to be more accurate).
However, with the MOD versions of the Server Reticle, you actually have "two reticles", the Clients, and then another which is actually the Servers.
Having the Server reticle allows you to know where your reticle actually is, whereas if you just use the default client reticle, it's not always synced with where your reticle is.
In other words, using the Server Reticle can allow you to be more accurate in your shots. At one point in my past server reticle usage when I stopped using "site mods", just using the client default reticle, I would also so I wasn't looking at two reticles when using the server reticle mod, I would make "invisible" the client reticle, and then I would just only see the server reticle.
The problem is, the games default Server Reticle is defective due to the lag issue.
I want Wargaming to finally fix it, rather than having to use a mod to get a proper working one.
