Recoil: Scopes vs. Iron sights #2 - Page 4

joselucca · 2008-02-21, 19:24

they should be equal. Why would they be different. And please dont come with that cr*p-o-la about "its zoomed in so...blah blah blah...). if you have actually fired a weapon, you'll know that scope or no scope, recoil is recoil.
yeah.

Equal. Anything else is unrealistic. The recoil will "feel" larger as the scope magnifies the image by 4x, so movement is exaggerated by 4x.

Make it realistic and let the players get used to it. It'd also be good to get more people using the weapons with open sights.

even though it might not be realistic, scoped rifles should have slightly more recoil to encourage the use of more kits with iron sights like medic and engi, and to try stop people from thinking scoped rifles are still automatic snipers.

Agree

However, didn't the testers hate it?

Nubs.

Realism over...happy joy kill kill scoped rifleman.

Take that recoil biatch. Open up the potential of non scoped classes

When a scope it on the top of the weapon it is heavier, and realisticly the ironsights should be slightly lighter, so slightly less recoil, and for the record, when you use an MG in prone in the game you get a greatly reduced recoil, so why not the same for other rifles? and dont say there is...because i checked, and there isnt :P

There has to be some kind of combat - not kit - disadvantage for wielding the 20/30-round, unlimited DMR that is the scoped rifle. I don't know what that disadvantage could be, but it should not be recoil - as has been said above, recoil is recoil, disregarding the weight of the scope and other little excuses to reduce scoped recoil.

There didn't need to be another damn poll, the recoil should act realistically no matter what the votes say, the mod is called project reality. Waste of space.

much better poll

i think that if the recoil for the scoped and unscoped became the same then it would make the scope better for long range targets but close range would get hurt due to the bigger recoil, this would give iron sights a little better chance.

	The key to modernising any weapon is covering them in glue and tossing them in a barrel of M1913 rails until they look "Modern" enough. Many thanks to [R-DEV]Adriaan for the sig!
