Accuracy delay when going from standing to crouching stance

Now, I am by no means a battle-hardened soldier or adept marksman. I do have some basic military training, however, and I know enough to tell you that not momentarily losing any accuracy when dropping from standing to crouching firing stance is not realistic.

What I want is a minor accuracy delay when switching to crouching stance. It should just be a brief delay, much less than when going prone, but noticeable nonetheless. Ideally, it should be so that when two players spot each other at short range (say, 30-50 metres) they will take the initial pot-shots at each other from a standing position before crouching. They should not be able to just automatically jam the crouching key and fire away with instant crouching accuracy.

Did anybody play Full Spectrum Warrior? That game was built on a training simulator for the armed forces and as such was highly realistic. Great game if a bit linear, you should try it. In my opinion FSW shows exactly how PR should handle infantry combat. The biggest thing FSW does that PR could learn from is not being able to instantly bring up iron sights. We already have this on the machineguns but it should be on all weapons including assault rifles. Again, delay should not be as long but still noticeable. This would dramatically change the way the game is played: Instead of squads all moving at once in a big, messy mob and only pausing to fire, the squad would have to divide up in two elements: one moving and one providing covering fire. This technique is called leapfrogging. You can get a better idea of what it is here: http://www.fullspectrumwarrior.co.uk...s_playbook.php . Look at the first and the 'bounding overwatch' videos. In fact, watch all the videos. Even though PR is not this tactical you might still learn a trick or two. It also showcases the direction I would like the mod to go in.

Note that this iron sight delay would make life a lot harder on Rambo's who just charge in, the game would get considerably more difficult for inexperienced players and would require more patience due to the slower pace. It might alienate some players. The serious players and tactics fanatics like myself, however, would go ape.
