Re: Back up sghts
Huh? Not a single faction has the ability to view over a scope. Unless you are referring to people using CCO's, for which I really doubt needs explaining on why its not the same thing as having a scope on your rifle.

Re: Back up sghts
The elcan and british scopes have a backup sight that is functionally just looking over the scope. I just dont understand why they cant just do the same thing for all weapons but just not have an actual marker to show where the bullet would go. Its already in game so it wouldnt be unfair, would be in really useful to some players despite arguments that it wouldnt, and would really even the playing field.
But i'm not a dev so what do i know? |

If you look over the weapon, you could set the aiming point somewhere "in" the scope, so a "dot in the middle of the screen" wouldn't help at all. As for this Arma 2 ACE example, set the aim point within or even below the red part of the acoq. I'd still like to get some feedback about the russian BUIS. What do other players and the Devs think about it? |

Re: Back up sghts
I have often wished for this as well. I don't see this being any more effective than actual BUIS, excepting those weapons with nigh-useless irons anyways, such as the EBR, or AK-74Ms. Those setups are difficult to use because they attempt to faithfully recreate the actual shape of their real-life counterparts, not as a result of development balancing efforts. So why not reflect the real-life ability of a soldier to ready his weapon without sighting into the scope?
As for the AK-74M BUIS, this functionality is really only a tacked-on bonus to the way AKs must mount optics, which is from the side of the receiver. As far as I know, the mounting system used is quick-detachable, should CQC be inevitable. Having two eyes also helps, i'm sure. |

Re: Back up sghts
The intended drawback of the BUIS over optics is obviously the lack of magnification, not an obscured field of view (although this is often a side-effect of only having one eye). Without an indicated point of aim, as proposed, the shooter will have only the geometry of the top of the optic's exterior to rely on, which can only offer horizontal aid at best. Then tracers/impacts would be the only guide to get on target, wherein a rifleman with iron sights or proper buis could aquire and engage accurately with his first shot.
I also seriously doubt anyone would mark or adhere anything to his screen in hopes of exploiting this feature, and if he would, then he'd not be much worse off than an Elcan user, and he'd then have trouble actually using his scope. |
