The wind factor in ArmA 2 ballistics

[uzipaz 10]

I have played ArmA 2 for a some long time now, I only play single player and spend most of the time in armory, scenarios and the editor. The infantry combat is the best thing about ArmA 2. I always enjoy using assault and semi-automatic sniper rifles, I am greatly impressed by the ballistics system that the developers have implemented. However, I

have felt that whenever I fire shots they always seem to just be influenced by the gravity, muzzle velocity etc... but I have yet to see the wind affecting the bullet trajectory, I never experienced that in ArmA 2. Maybe its just me, but I need some confirmation here.

I also can't find anyway to control the wind conditions in any scenario, except raining and bad weather. What do you folks have to say on this? Is the wind factor modelled in the ArmA 2 ballistics system?

Wind is simulated in SP only, but I doubt it has any effect on the trajectory of a bullet. Smoke yes, bullets dunno.

play with ACE2

Wind is not really simulated in standard Arma2, if you want to have wind use the ACE2 Mod. Sniper gameplay is a whole different thing with it!

yeah, and the wind changes every 10 seconds, so good luck with that

So if you need any tips for windage, ask in a topic such as http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?126404-Community-created-ArmA-Training-Videos-Literature-Scenarios-amp-Other-Resources. ;)

There's a few tricks...

There is still no truly realistic windage system in arma 2 yet, the ACE one only applies wind upon the firing of the shot, doesn't change halfway and consistently changes direction.

That said it is a lot better than vanilla.

Does TOH have wind simulation?
