Severinsen, what Wilhelm is saying is that though it looks like a widescreen view, if you look closely you will notice that portions of the display are chopped off the top and bottom. FOV eliminates this and actually addeds to the display rather than cropping the display.
I run 3 monitors in 1280x1024 for a 3840x1024 display. Prior to FOV I lost 1/3 of the display off the top and 1/3 off the bottom. When I zoomed all the way out, I still couldn't see certain areas above my cockpit. A real blind spot that my human opponents routinely used against me. With FOV, I now have a non-cropped view. I can see everywhere others can see, elminiating that overhead blind spot.
The wider your screen the bigger the difference. Trust me.
