Realistic G36 and ACOG Sights?

[jasonnoguchi 11]

Both the G36 sight and ACOG sights comes with mini red dot or iron sight on top for close range engagement.

Has anyone come up with a mod for this?

Try this

It has a number of variants, one of which displays an aimpoint sight when you are using burst or full auto, then changes to a 3.5x scope on single fire. (see pics)

A very neat solution(with moving cocking handle) and an nicer skin than the original I think, also.

Unfortunately, it uses the stock reticle for the 3.5 (I would have preferred NWD's more realistic ones) but beggers cant be choosers I suppose.

I actually PM'd Aushilfe to see if it could be changed, and also as to how to make this version a default replacement, but no answer.

THIS SIGHT ROCKS!!!!!! THATS EXACTLY WHAT A g36 SCOPE IS SUPPOSED TO DO!!! :)

Does that affect the NWD scopefix mod? Can NWD integrate this into his scopefix? :(

** if those pics is the kind of picture quality you are getting ingame... I am drooling all over now....

ace mod has several g36 with the ability to change between the longer range sight and the cqb sight by using some button (ctrl-f i think it was)

[jasonnoguchi 11]

ok, so the G36 is a problem solved! :) But, we don't get to use that much in SP, so, any solutions for the ACOG that we can use even in SP? :)

[gurachn 10]

I just had a go at ACE, but there are no QCB sights on the G36 to Shift-F to.

I did notice though that the ACOG sight on many of the rifles with 203 attached, had the problem noted in the thread on NWD's Ballistics. Bringing up the optics seems to only bring up the GL ladder/QCG notch and post.

Interestingly, I have the ballistics mod installed in a mod folder, but I do not have a link to that folder in my ACE shortcut.

I have never used ACE very much anyway though. Too many of the american rifle models have those (non-functional) laser sight/designator units, which I dont care for. I much prefer Robert Hammers models.

Not sure what you are referring to, Jason by 'any solutions for the ACOG that we can use even in SP'.

Outside of the ACE mod, I have no problem using ACOG with the Ballistics mod and NWDs scope reticles.

[jasonnoguchi 11]

I mean, any mods actually allows you to switch to the small iron sights for close range on top of the ACOG scopes instead of being on the magnified scope all the time? Maybe like on magnification for semi and iron sights for burst like in the G36 mod? Its almost unusable in close quarter situations. :(

Just one additional question... how did you get the "Current Distance 50m" on your screen?

You are wrong, look again. Ace has what the thread starter is requesting.

jason: no, thats the bugtracker for Arma 2.

oh... so we are pretty much stuck with ACOGs that are useless up close? I find the magnification almost impossible to aim with anything within 50m.

Ace has backup sights for almost all acogs except for the m16a4. The M4 acog however has it.

[jasonnoguchi 11]

Does ACE work with SP official missions?

[sparks50 0]

They tend to work, though some wont.
