Recoil: Scopes vs. Iron sights #2 - Page 5

Something definitely needs to be done to even up the scoped/iron-ed rifles. I don't care if the scoped recoil goes up, or if iron recoil goes down, or even if both move to some happy medium. But they need to be equalized.

Just as a clarification, does the scoped version have .4 or .6 the recoil of the unscoped?

0.6 times the recoil, when zoomed. (ObjectTemplate.recoil.zoomModifier 0.6)

Well, In real life if you are shooting with a scope the recoil should be a little more than it actually is and that you should have to move the reticle down a little more than what is is now to get the same shot as before. Right now I think iron sights are more, so no i think the should not be the same scope should be more.

they should have an equal amount of recoil.

i voted for more recoil on scoped rifles.
of course irl is the recoil the same on both types but in the game i would prefer more recoil on scopes to make it more balanced for the other classes.

more recoil but no deviation would be my suggestion

i voted for scopes having more recoil and it says equal now....
i don't know how that happened with that
reasons are the same as the guy above me

The scope doesn't change the gun, why the hell does the scope affect recoil?

it wouldnt they should have the same set recoil ingame, the zoom for the scoped gun will make it look even bigger then the ironsights so you dont need to give the scoped gun more recoil cus if it has the same it will look like it has more.

I am sure 75% of you do not play with iron sights. The medic, engineer, and rifleman ammo kit has to have some advantage over the other kits or else people will just not play them. Rifleman ammo kit is basically a useless kit and has turned in the old Rifleman AP kit from 0.5 because it doesn't have any advantages over the regular rifleman kit which has a scope. The ammo bag is suppose to entice people, but it usually doesn't.

Same with the medic class. How do you expect the medics that actually medic to keep playing if they can just easily get picked off at long range? Not calling for a big change, but just a little something to even it out with.

Are you sure you're quoting the right person?

The guy just said that scoped rifles should have more recoil than iron-sighted ones.
