Recoil: Scopes vs. Iron sights #2 - Page 3

Alpha(r) · 2008-02-21, 11:42

x2 Equal them(Lower iron sights weapons recoil as it was in previous versions)
And again.The question in the poll is wrongly formulated

It's the same gun but with optics so why make the recoil any different?

Hardtman · 2008-02-21, 13:20

Equal for both.

Although, maybe ever so slightly less for scoped one, because of the extra weight that comes from the scope

The man is a perfectionist

So with irons recoil = 1
With optic, recoil = .999999

That's noticeable

It would be interesting to know how much effect the scope has on perceived recoil. An ACOG weighs 15 ounces, and on a 10 pound rifle that's a decent weight addition.

Somebody call for Kennnnnnnnnwaaaaaayyyyy!

voted yes,
the scope should appear to have more recoil than the iron sights, due to zoom.

I have created this poll because I, and I believe I wasn't the only one, felt that the previous poll (that can be found here) was missing quite important option for equal recoil.

joselucca · 2008-02-21, 19:11

no. why are they different anyhow? zoom would not make a difference in the recoil. c'mon. IRL scope or no scope the recoil is the same.

Spec · 2008-02-21, 19:18

I'd prefer it equal. But it doesnt really matter that much.
I understand that its less atm, because the recoil can only be simulated in 2D, not in 3D. It cant go back, into the soldiers shoulder. So it has to go up - higher than IRL. So for balance its less for scopes. Understandable. Still, equal would be good.
