Bravo_Two_Zeroq 10 Posted June 25, 2012 I've tried most sniper rifles and used the Mil-Dot system for measuring range. Most rifles seem reasonable close up until 1200 meters and give fairly accurate readings, but how should I read the AS50 scope? Whatever I do I get different and wrong range readings from that scope. Normally the object height / Mil-Dot height = distance to target and it works fine for rifles like the M107, DMR and M24. Do the British really use a different Mil-Dot system than prescribed by NATO standards? Furthermore with an accurate range reading the Mil-Dots also seem to indicate a different range, estimating that every increase in dot gives an additional 180 meters, while the M107 just has 100 meters for every dot and the DMR 80 meters.

fraczek 4 Posted June 26, 2012 IIRC the mil-dot scopes work only if you are zoomed in on the scopes that allow zooming, though I may be wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LuxusElg 1 Posted July 17, 2012 No, he's correct. Even when zoomed in, the AS50 mil-dots are incorrect. I've tested it myself on several occasions, and recently submitted a bugreport on dev-heaven. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guess Who 10 Posted July 17, 2012 A lot of the sniper scopes are off more or less; this goes for zeroing and for magnification. L115 rifles are also on the list. Additionally some of the ACOG/RCO type of combat scopes are off in regards to zeroing, magnification and bullet drop indication: G36 series, Spectre on the MK17. The problem is in the configs (mostly) and in the models. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rak 0 Posted July 17, 2012 DMR scope is also off. Also, why doesn't DMR have range adjusting? It's weird to have a "Designated Marksman Rifle" without range adjustment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
