I was a AT soldier some years ago, i was carrying a LRAC 89mn with only one munition ready to fire, my 'magazine-man' was carrying 2-3 rocket. 300m was the maximum range for moving target, but 500m is ok for stationary target (not a windows, but a bmp or an old tank, yes). And +500m for anti-personal rocket (area fire, lethal radius = 20 meters) The time to shoot is not very fast, you must always appreciate the distance and measure the speed if moving target. The rocket speed is very slow if you compare to a rifle. For a 50km/h moving target at 300m, you should aim 14m in front, like wild partridge hunting. I'm agree that the animations in arma are to slow, but after a shot, i wasn't able to shot immediately with a rifle. Reason ? The big back blast on your shoulder ! You've got a thunder behind you and the ass of a rocket in front off you. After a shot, my face was plenty off residues of powder from the rocket booster ! In Arma, i prefer moving behind something just after a shot (a wall or a tree), and after i change or reload my weapon. But no time to see my rocket impact.

Great job NWD, just 3 questions : - Is there any way to see in game if the NWD_Ballistics mod is enabled ? I think I've made a good install but the M24 range cards is not accurate (>1,5m at 500m). - Same question for the NWD_SightAdjustmentPlugin; what are the modifications ? Doesn't seem to be enabled for me. Is there any way to be sure that the mod is enabled ? By a script testing the presence of your mod ? - The NWD_ScopeFix is OK for me, easy to check But the reticle is not focused for me. Your's screenshots show good focused reticle, how ? The M24 Mil-dot scope (and the binocs) is now accurate for distance evaluations !! Thank you

You should have all the files in the folder : C:\\blabla..\Arma\@GMJ_SightAdjustment\Addons\

No more Freezing since i use -maxmem=512 -maxmem=1024 was too big (i've got 2 gig ram). More access to hard drive, but that just sound, no fps drop for me.

Really great tool !!! The first time i used it, it thought i was ... god ! The second time, i was playing a RTS game. How do you use the commandline option ? I can't write command in the text box. can someone help me ?

Tank you gmJamez, This is a great ADDON that add lot of realism in Arma. - I've make a Range Card (M24) with 0.2 version (will share it), should i make another one for the 0.3 version ? - I try it with a AT M136 but i doesn't see any change. This would be great if your addon can correct the sight elevation of the M134 ! - I can't use it in the mission EvolutionSP. loading a saved game give a me CTD. and thanks again for my first 'arma must-have addon' !

During a French-Russian army exchange in 96, I've seen Russian paratroopers (51st from Tula) cleaning their AK by pushing it in the ground, cannon downward to fill it with sand/mud 'ground in French'. I'm still impress how a gas-operating rifle can resist to this torture Edit : Welcome in the army

nice one, i thought that sound travel at ... sound speed.(and faster than a AT4)

I've got two examples : The Canary island : the two sides are really different, it depend of the dominant winds. One shore is desert (moon style) and the other side is jungle. Corsica (for me, the best Mediterranean place): One time in October, I've made a morning snowboard session and a surf session the afternoon. And without any 'diving suit' !!! You can find palm trees and fir trees separate by 25km only.

I've didn't read any example where you DON'T move. If you want to make a test, try separately VIEW and SOUND.And thank you to tell me that i'm a liar.

In the editor, put an AI at 5 meters in front of you. The AI must face 90° than you, you see his profile. The AI react only when he turn the head to your side. That prove they didn't see at 360°. When you are in his back, AI react to the first move, not before. You can try many experience like put you and an enemy each side of a wall. I didn't feel to have the same game than certain other author from this topic. Am i alone ? Not happy with AI decisions ? Scripts it !! Have you test the Group Link II Script ArmA and others ?

@vilas, tank you but didn't ask for a CV. with the muzzle flash ,the smoke and the dust in prone position, i'm not so sure as you.And "a man from 30 meters shoots [...] and he is behind tree" He shoot through the tree ? i understand you but i think that "eye sensitivity" is not too big in ARMA like you said.

Sound -> direction, SVD smoke -> position. People was complain that Ofp's AI didn't react when you shoot them. I prefer the way Arma do. Don't you think that crawl in OFP was realistic ? We don't talk about the same army. In mine, It's more than 5/10 accuracy at 300m after 5 day of training."Soviet light arms" uses 7,62 and is effective up to 500m. AI shoot many times, this increase the probability of hit. OTAN forces in Afganistan are engaged at more than 500m. The eye can not see a bird in a forest if he don't move. But with movement, it's really different. 1000 m for a man in a field and 300m in forest, 200m for a head movement didn't surprise me. According to Wiki, "a human can resolve distances of about 0.93 millimeters at a distance of one meter". For a 1.8m tall man, this make more than 1900m. (576 megapixels ) On a road or concrete ok, but in forest and dry conditions, you can hear a fox (the king of discretion for me) walking over 100m with dead foliage. I've made a lot of approach training (enough to have bleeding bend), and believe me, that not so easy that in Ofp.If "i am hiden after tree" + "they cannot see me", i can not understand how you can "shoot one," In game you can see AI at more than 1000m, more than 500m when they crawl. But AI shouldn't see you ? Who's cheating ? And why does a calm and long approach work in Arma ? In the game Lock On, the super AI feel you even if he can not see you, i don't feel this in Arma.

Designated marksman: M24, M4SPR. No need to adjust the scope Long range sniper: all rifles, and please, we need that elevation adjust !!

I'll be satisfied with just the elevation. Again, i can't shoot with M24 over 800m. For temperature and humidity, i haven't got enough CPU to see the effects. If i buy Arma and put my BF2 on Ebay, this is for some reasons (numerous reasons).Please stop considering Arma as a STRICTLY MP game, i've played 5 years with Ofp alone !

+1, but lot off work. Let look at what is possible in modding ? off-topic You don't like forum discussions ? You want a joystick controllable canon ? Because i haven't enough space to put a tank cockpit at home. I think it's off topic. +1, but perhaps it's there because we don't have other sensors. off topic again Like THIS ? shouldn't a problem for modders.(smoke etc...) Because with more than 5000 topics, perhaps we can have one dedicated to sniping ? And giving an offset to scopes should not be a hard job for BI ? Less than IR-sensor or active-shielding. Let's talk about the sniper's scope !!!!!!!!!! You don't want to set the elevation ? so leave it at default value like ACTUALLY in game. You won't see a difference before and after. For the wind, you don't care <500m, but Ofp was using it; i remember that the shot was sometime a little left or right (not precision here because in same conditions : same deviation). Only the wind can do that (and the earth rotation ).

+1000 for all, tanks Frederf, just one thing to add: With the M24 it's impossible to make precise shoot over 800m, and modded weapons is a limitation and a source of problems in MP. Not agree ? Read before the entire post that produce this one. You don't know how many time i spend for approach for a single shoot in my solo-missions, Arma is not just a CTF game.Rom1, playing Ofp/Arma since he left the army.

"MOA accuracy" is the precision of the rifle+bullet system. IRL the only way to change it is to make a longer canon or use different cartbridges. Same case for initspeed.(Armax was right when he said "the M24 is 1 MOA off": 0,5 to 1,5, it depend of the cartbridge used) If you want more precise (unrealistic) weapons, this is in the modding topic or use the M107. Not the place here. Here, we talking about the elevation (and windage if the wind is simulated). It´s just giving an offset to the scope, not changing arma physics laws. 2 method to snipe:1. shoot and look the impact, then adjust and fire the second shot (canadian way9 2. calulate, offset and first shot hit. Like real one. I´m not a fanatic of the ´F´key, hard to switch to grenade trowing if you have 5 or 10 different elevation. In a other hand, this solution is the best for the simulation. Tank you Maddmatt.

I not sure...That was for you : "is it possible ? and how ? " Please explain instead of complaint.

Player removeWeapon "M26_Z_400" Player addWeapon "M26_Z_800" Where M26_Z_800 is a modded weapon (config files) and M26_Z_400 another one with different elevation. is it possible ? and how ?

Inelegant but it's a solution. Thanks Frederf.With 2 radio script, one to get the +200m leveled scope, and one to get the -200m leveled one. And a message to tell witch one do you have. IRL, when you change elevation, you don't look in the scope, so the changing weapons animation is not a problem for me. Remember, in Ofp, the M21 was changing the zero according to the zoom. Did the M4SPR change is elevation with the zoom ? I think yes, but i can't test it at work.

And the M24 Record For me the Canadian record, the sniper shot a first time, adjust and then hit the target on the second shot. This method is acceptable but this is not a real record for me because of the dummy target.. "M107 of rom_un" sorry but i haven't got any...... yet
