So what?
This is:Arma feedback thread - based on 1.09
So 1.09's MG recoil is not neccessarily unrealistic as Rakgitarmen is saying, and may be more realistic than 1.08, is what I believe general is making the point of.
Try hipshooting an MG in game, and then look out for some videos of something monstrous like M240, RPK-PKM being shot from hip.
I don't know if it's better than 1.08 or not, but it's not even close(or resemble) to the real thing. It should be jumping all around while hip-shooting. This is common sense.
I agree, but at least they should fix the hip-shooting side. If they are so desperate that can't implement "MG deploying", then they should find a recoil value that is half way between "realistic" and "usable-because we're so lazy to do some homework".
Dunno you, but when I see MG's being used like an assault rifle while standing, running; I can't help but question Arma's "t3h ult1m4t3 simul4tion EV4rr!11" claim. I'd rather not have unrealistic non-prone ironsight shooting, than taking it and running around Rambo style. Maybe I'm spoiled after Red Orchestra, because even though it doesn't claim the same thing, it does a better job than ArmA.
