instagoat 133 Posted June 14, 2013 niiice, this looks great. Almost afraid to ask, but this thing is so tacticool, can we also get a version with an AFG and thumb-over-bore grip even if the arm extends awkwardly in some poses then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brain 12 Posted June 14, 2013 Looks awesome, short feedback! - Tested in MP, works like a charme - Model is stunning - Sounds could be custom, I think Jarhead did some sounds for A3 already, maybe he's so nice and do some :) - Dynamic muzzleflash would be nice - Textures are awesome Solid 9/10 :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scarecrow398 43 Posted June 14, 2013 (edited) Excellent, all the waiting looks to have paid off, Looks like i'll be waiting a little longer though, Mediafire is down :/ Edit: God damn you bigpond... Everyone seems to be able to access it but me, either way, leached it from a friend, haha. Edited June 14, 2013 by Scarecrow398 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MilitantMaddox 10 Posted June 14, 2013 The possible issues I have with it and I feel like an asshole here but the following I believe seemed a little off. - Recoil seems to be a bit much. - The reload seems to be off a little. - Custom sounds would be great. other then that I believe its amazing.

coffeeshock 20 Posted June 14, 2013 Wow this looks good! Any chance for a slightly longer 14.5" M4A1 Block II in the future? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gvse 10 Posted June 14, 2013 Thank you! A great looking model there. The only detail I do not like is the size of the ring of the back iron sight: it's too small really to be useful at short range. Any chance you can cut out a bigger whole? Again, thanks for sharing your work! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sorophx 25 Posted June 14, 2013 finally, thanks for your work! any chance of seeing these in Arma 2? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scarecrow398 43 Posted June 14, 2013 So after messing around with it for a while, i haven't found much that hasn't already been pointed out, short version Confg: - Recoil is too damn high, the SDAR recoil seems to work well as it's another 5.56mm rifle ("recoil_auto_sdar") - It's one of those things that just feels like it needs custom sounds, or any sound other than the MX. - It would be nice if it was compatible with FHQ accessories (copy paste some class names into the cows slot and your done) Anim: - Reload animation is too fast for the magazine on the insert (release is fine, just less of a delay between mag out and in) and doesn't align (i assume it's just the default reload animation) Model: - Rear sight aperture is too small and rear sight needs more polys overall to smooth it out from the current octagon look it has, i'm sure you could find some polys to remove somewhere if it's already on the high end of the limit. - Bore of the suppressor looks too large (though overall it looks good in length and width), it should only be around -8mm (the internal baffles get larger progressively in diameter but only by 2-3mm at the most) - Some vertical variation of the brass ejection would be a nice touch for when firing on automatic. - Brass also looks to eject too far back. Over all though, nice models and textures, great work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sgt_Savage2003 10 Posted June 14, 2013 very cool man thanks a lot. One thing that bugs me is when a suppressor is being used the area around the play should not be light up with light (at night of course). The flash is removed like it should. Alos I love the idea of MBUIS but you cant see any thing with them. the sight apture it too small, For game use any way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spectrersg 9 Posted June 14, 2013 - It would be nice if it was compatible with FHQ accessories (copy paste some class names into the cows slot and your done) FHQ seems to work with it. Unless I'm going crazy - just tested it with FHQ and they worked on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
da12thMonkey 1943 Posted June 14, 2013 very cool man thanks a lot. One thing that bugs me is when a suppressor is being used the area around the play should not be light up with light (at night of course). That's currently a limitation of Arma 3: BIS need to enable some way of overwriting/modifying a weapon's default firelightintensity setting when a suppressor is attached, similar to how suppressors can be made to overwrite/modify the speed and hit values of ammunition fired from a weapon with a suppressor attached. According to the ticket on the Feedback tracker, BIS have assigned someone the task of sorting it out. ---- Regarding feedback on the addon I'd agree with some of the other posters that the rear aperture on the BUIS could do with some more edges in the Pilot LOD (by my estimate BIS' A3 models tend to have ~32 sides on the cylinders making up their Pilot LOD sight apertures). Personally I don't mind the narrow aperture these have currently though. There are also a couple of edges on the charging handle that could do with sharpening to fix some face-lighting/smoothing-group errors on this part of the mesh. I think it's the edge-loop formed by the slot cut into the back of the charging handle (where one would fit an extension to the handle), which needs a sharpened edge. Overall the work done so far on these are beautiful though, particularly Sabre's work on textures: Think they're my favourite weapon addon for the A3 so far. The issues I outlined above don't detract from that ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AASE 0 Posted June 14, 2013 i dont know if just me but the reload is not synced with the Animations? Love the model and textures keep it up Would like to see a angled for grip version aswell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
