Can we change this in the UI rather than here?

Also I'm not sure medium is the right choice here. https://github.com/Unvanquished/Unvanquished/commit/84d6a234e5756ef8725fda0a8f9c9afad54427b2

I agree with Sixthly here.

Not really, this is actually the UI. This changes the default value, so that the game is more usable for newcommers playing aliens.

I agree with Sixthly here.

Who? And said what?

Also, this PR is fine, I'm not sure why it was set as draft. Either the idea is good for enough people and it should be merged, or it's not and it should be closed. There is no reason to keep a pending draft PR which is technically fine.

If the point is to not have it merged for 0.53, then use the milestone feature.

I think medium is too slow. The first thing I always do is set it to fast (at least) if it isn't already. I actually use cg_wwSmoothTime 50 peresonally.

Thing is, default configuration should be friendly to newcommers. Do you think qualify?

One comment that could be useful considering the UI though: it does not reflects the fact the cvar is an actual number. To set this value to other numbers, people have to know it's a delay-type value, while UI suggest it's only a list-type value. This would be possibly more confusing for new players to have to adjust a number, though.

I don't qualify a newcomer, but even when I was all those years ago I found medium very disorientating.

Wallwalking certainly have this disorienting problem (especially in buggy maps like nano). My opinion, but it's really only mine, is that slower camera moves make it less disorienting.
