Interesting Discoveries regarding accuracy of weapons.

Re: Interesting Discoveries regarding accuracy of weapons.

Would be a good post sticky to have a comprehensive screenshot list of ALL gun ironsights in a single post. Theres several other guns that are not unlocks that i would like to see as well.

I always knew the MR-444 was terribly low. But I was not aware of the AK-101 and SVD.

Yeah...this just made me make up my mind and put a little marker dot in the center.


Well I was playing the MEC... I have always had a HUGE problem with the AK... and it would feel SO ****ing inaccurate..

But now the dot is like it shows in that PB SS, and I was getting CRAZY snipe type kills...

Also, the un-zoomed kills were much easier to get headshots..

I only played like 5 minutes before the server crashed, but so far it helped my ground combat alot...

ESPECIALLY that POS MR444

Re: Interesting Discoveries regarding accuracy of weapons.

Were the points a little bit to the right?(AK101/RPK-74/SVD)

or was it right in the middle?

I'd like to see the G36E myself. It seems pretty accurate in ironsights but not as accurate as the M16 in ironsights.

Good read, handy to know

G36E is *slightly* under the tip of the crosshairs

and the MG36, as most of you know, is *under* the tip.

Like the saw, but under.

G3 is to the VERY right of the top of the tip.

Actually... almost EVERY gun is over to the right a little bit... but there was one that was to the left... I forgot which one.

The only one in the center, is the 92F and M16.... even the snipers aren't centered, which is... .weird...

Good info . Wonder if they'll fix these or if they're like this for a reason (ie balance)?

Re: Interesting Discoveries regarding accuracy of weapons.

With M16 it's possible to take out snipers +200 meters away with a single shot into head.

I thought the only weapons that could take you out with a single shot to the head were sniper rifles and PKM??????

No... probably more than half of the guns will take you out with 1 headshot.

I'd conjecture that this is just plain sloppyness, and probably won't be fixed for vanilla. DICE just didn't bother lining up the scopes perfectly with the center of the screen, because they (correctly) figured the massive spread cones would make it uneccesary

It is a little annoying to see this, and certainly seems to justify some gut feelings about certain guns not being quite how they should be.

I've known about the slight discrepency (slightly lower, wasnt aware it drifted to the side though) for awhile, but not those other weapons. Good find.
