rasdenfasden 12 Posted August 4, 2009 I made a bug tracker thing about ages ago but it's still bugging me so here's a thread about it! When you crouch with a rifle, stand with a launcher or have a pistol out an animation plays on your character constantly where his arms move around. This causes your sights to misalign which is terribly annoying and especially bad in the case of a rifle where crouching should make aiming easier than standing, not worse. Tracker bug page thing and images: http://dev-heaven.net/issues/show/2288 http://dev-heaven.net/attachments/1138/anim.JPG http://dev-heaven.net/attachments/1177/buggedsights.jpg Has this been fixed for 1.03? Edit: Ah dammit, this was supposed to go in troubleshooting or so Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rasdenfasden 12 Posted August 4, 2009 (edited) Luhgnut;1392029']you sure you're not just "winded" from running? maybe I misread your post. Nah, it's a bug as it only happens in one stance with most types of weapons. You can see this the best by grabbing a gun with ironsights and crouching. If you look through the sights you'll see them misalign and move around. This isn't related to exhaustion or stamina, it's just a bug. It happens with all 3D sights (scopes aren't affected), even with aimpoints and stuff where it's harder to see and a lot more "misguiding" as the crosshair then points in the totally wrong direction.

Windexglow 10 Posted August 4, 2009 crouching should make aiming easier than standing, not worse. Crouching is actually portrayed correctly in this game - being crouched is an unstable stance, standing is much easier to aim a gun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heatseeker 0 Posted August 4, 2009 Its a feature but.. i dont think it even affects the a.i. Its really annoying since AK sights are already useless the way they are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-RIP- Luhgnut 10 Posted August 4, 2009 Crouching is actually portrayed correctly in this game - being crouched is an unstable stance, standing is much easier to aim a gun. Is it? I mean in real-life, is it? Never thought of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Espectro (DayZ) 0 Posted August 4, 2009 Crouching is actually portrayed correctly in this game - being crouched is an unstable stance, standing is much easier to aim a gun. I disagree - for me crouched position is the most stable and accurate stance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rasdenfasden 12 Posted August 4, 2009 Crouching is actually portrayed correctly in this game - being crouched is an unstable stance, standing is much easier to aim a gun. Huh? When crouching you can rest your front arm (the one that holds the front of the gun) on your knee so it's way more stable. When standing your arms are doing all the work which should make your aim way less stable with most guns as many are rather front heavy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think he is trying to say that the weight of the equipment is more cumbersome when you are crouched. This can be why crouching is worse for aiming when you got 80+ lbs. on your back. I remember seeing a thread about crouch aiming a while back. It does get annoying though when I am looking through the sights of a stinger and I can't even see the Hind. It may be a feature but it needs to be toned down a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kklownboy 43 Posted August 4, 2009 not sure if its a feature or bug, but once you shoot its moving anyways... And when standing it moves, more up and down than side to side like in a crouch. this is with steel sites... I like the movement/animation~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr burns 132 Posted August 4, 2009 Its a feature but.. i dont think it even affects the a.i. Its really annoying since AK sights are already useless the way they are. +1 But only noticed it with the M1014 Shotgun yet since im not usning ironsighted weapons that often. Still a very valid point - at least if you want to portray soldiers in ArmA2 and not the "dont worry i´m from the internets" guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raidar 1 Posted August 4, 2009 http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=74364 I allso don't really like to shoot from crouched position, in means of recoil handling, but what i don't understand is: why can't he keep the sight line straigh? The rifle moves around like he's drunk or he has a rifle without a buttstock. Allso scoped rifles are more stable if crouched in ArmA2 (and if you aim with the "crosshair" you are more accurate (the 2 lines are closer) so i don't get the logic)... If it would be the same with all rifles and just the whole rifle moves (no tilt of the sight line), it would be ok for me. But like this people which like to shoot with ironsight rifles/reddot/holosight, going in cover behind something crouched, makes hitting something nearly impossible.greetz With some weapons you hardly ever see the bead of your sights, when crouched. I still hope very much it's a bug not a feature... The most "DRIVING ME FU*/%KING NUTS" feature, if it's one :756: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
froggyluv 2136 Posted August 4, 2009 Also the sights seem to get funkified when on a steep incline or decline. Don't know how to explain it but it feels like they get "shortened". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
