Prone on the down-slope

Recommended Posts

Ok, so it is pretty cool that we now have a number of prone-type positions including sitting. It would be great if the AI would use them! Especially on the down-slope where it currently looks like they are gravity defiant - facing down the hill with only their legs in contact with the ground, bent backwards at the waist aiming up across the hills. Very impressive in yoga maybe but kinda silly in battle kit shooting a rifle.

I'm guessing they do this to your upper-body to allow you to aim better on high angle slopes, but I don't believe this is the best method to do this. They actually already have a better system by limiting the angle that you can go prone on (automatically forces you to crouch at steep angles). Why not just remove the upper-body float, and lower the angle you can go prone even more so the aiming is not effected by being prone at a steep angle.

Summary: You shouldn't be able to prone at these high-angles anyway. Limit high-angle prone (even more than it is) and you don't have to implement a weird fix like floating upper-body.

May not be the best solutions since it may make the "auto stand-up" issue even worse than it already is...

It would be helpful if we could also go prone on hills without auto standing up aswell. On a non-related note, some asshat decided to hack the BIS server, Dwarden posted all info here.

Thats why I mention it since I think the two issues are related, I could be wrong tho...

Thanks for the heads-up on the servers. I assume they will be back up again soon.
