MadsHilde 10 Posted July 27, 2009 How can it be that you can't use the red-dot sight on the G36, is that a balancing issue? I mean, would the weapon be too good if you had both telescopic sights and red-dot? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndrewCZ 10 Posted July 27, 2009 Having multiple sights per weapon would indeed be nice. It's not just the G36, same thing should be possible with an ACOG (they're mounted in a way so you can still use the ironsights). You'd switch it using the menu (just as you switch ammo types now), or using a shortcut key (has to be added). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alpha-Kilo 36 Posted July 27, 2009 How can it be that you can't use the red-dot sight on the G36, is that a balancing issue? I mean, would the weapon be too good if you had both telescopic sights and red-dot? You might want to search for Burns' G36 fix. This addon lets you use both sights. The active sight depends on your firing mode: Single shots = telescopic, burst and auto = red dot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nutlink 10 Posted July 27, 2009 The G36 used both optics when ArmA 2 was released, but they removed it due to a bug giving you extra ammo by doing it. I'm hoping it comes back in another patch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, would the weapon be too good if you had both telescopic sights and red-dot?Both sights were avaible in version 1.0The red Dot sight is missing since 1.01. Nobody knows why this feature was taken out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OrdeaL 10 Posted July 27, 2009 It was removed because it was bugged Beagle..cant remember the bug but its along the lines of you didnt need to reload cause you could switch sights or something funny..who knows they might fix it in the next patch or the one after that :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kylania 568 Posted July 27, 2009 Wow, if they could add this feature to other weapons it would be great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weegee_101 0 Posted July 27, 2009 Are they actually going to put it back in though? As is the G36 is just like an M16A4 ACOG with full auto for the moment. I'd love to use the G36K with the red dot again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr burns 132 Posted July 27, 2009 There was no ammo bug present in 1.00, just watched my video again and noticed that. Shooting in full auto with reflex sight (down to 9) Switching to Semi with Kolimator sight (still at 9) The fix however introduces the ammo-refill bug back into A2, dunno how or why as only vanilla 1.00 config entrys were used. btw: Don´t hold your breath for BI putting it back in, im quite disenchanted about this, and some other things .... :pet5: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spec_ops_sniper 0 Posted July 27, 2009 ACE1 had this feature as well as being able to use the CQB sights on many other sights, so just wait for ACE 2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is there really no chance? I think I speak for most everyone that we'd love to see this feature back in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kremator 1065 Posted July 27, 2009 If it was in and now isnt, then it will likely be a config problem. If you are up to it, search the 1.0 config for the G36 and identify the part for the red dot. Then place it into the current G36 config. When you get it to work let us all know. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr burns 132 Posted July 27, 2009 There´s already a fix/addon available using the exact method you just mentioned :D edit: I let you know :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weegee_101 0 Posted July 27, 2009 There´s already a fix/addon available using the exact method you just mentioned :D Yeah, but the big thing is whether or not we can use the fix on multiplayer. Usually, after playing the Single Player missions and the Campaigns, I concentrate exclusively on multiplayer (and I'm far beyond that point now... all I play is MP and fiddle in the editor). I can imagine a lot of servers would kick me if I was using it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr burns 132 Posted July 27, 2009 I can imagine a lot of servers would kick me if I was using it. bisign & bikey files are included with the download. The addon doesn´t break MP. No matter if some people use it and some dont. It´s just this little ammo bug nuisance that might keep server admins from allowing it - but that would only make sense in PvP tournaments as i doubt that anyone in this community likes to cheat on themselves by exploiting the ammo bug - especially in non-competitive gaming lol At least Germany Fun and our Stammtisch allow mrb.bikey Other than that i didn´t try any servers at all .. so you might have to search around a bit or nag server operators to add my key to their setup :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
