The big guys in BIS should have taken notice of the request by now

I'm pretty sure this stays on topic but mortars with adjustable sights would be great to have too

I'm not too sure if that will qualify but im probably wrong. Good idea anyways

the thread went missing while I was gone... People should keep this thread up so someone from BIS eventually notices how much the majority of the community would welcome adjustable sights.

<span style='color:red'>Link removed by moderator</span> I didn't think that was ever possible, He looks like he got .50 cal'd.

Maybe it could be a server option? Or something that comes with difficulty? But, come to think about it, If we were to have adjustable elevation and windage on sights, It would suit to have adjustable elevation permanent, but wind affecting ballistics a toggleable option for servers.

Would it even be possible to make a mod for this, and have it done properly? It would be better to have it put in officially to get all the values right e.t.c Edit: sorry for double post dunno why that happened :S

I'd prefer it to be implemented into the game officially rather than a mod or an addon because servers that use addons and specifically an adjustable sight addon (hypothetically speaking) would be hard to come by. I wanna see adjustable sights!

I wonder if it is an actual possibility that BIS can add adjustable sights in a future patch, not saying its top priority but it should eventually be added in

Maybe a temporary vacation for a certain someone could get this thread back on topic...

I don't see why people are angrily insulting others over the INTARNETZ over something that can be discussed calmly... Anywho, I see now that adjustable sights would be ideal but if we were to have wind that would probably complicate matters but maybe it would be decent for a toggleable option for the server? Although humidity, height above sea level or anything like that would be crossing the line to the point where the game's playability is questionable. I see a lot of people like the idea of changes to sights, I really would like to see all small arms in game that in RL would have adjustable sights, have adjustable sights in game. I seem to remember when having a look at an AK-47, which I think has identical sights to the AK-74, had flip up range sights on them, I'm not sure how they are used but maybe some experts like Dslyecxi could explain to me what they are for.

I think we need a petition for adjustable sights on all weapons...

It's fought over huge distances which would be perfect for realistic sniping...

Ok then disregard where it says it would be 'too realistic', Just think of it as a simple 'no' option

Too realistic is the only reason why it wouldn't be accepted, and its not forcing people to answer one answer, It is just stating the only significant reason why it can't be implemented...

Yes but its supposed to be a realistic combat simulator It would make sniping as much a skill as piloting or being a squad leader, and added difficulty would eliminate reasons for accusations of someone being a 'whore' or 'camper'

Maybe we should have a poll on whether we should have adjustable wind and elevation for sniping... in fact...

Sounds pretty neat.

I guess if BIS changed the sniping system completely that would mean to them that the original release was a failure or something. (which it is....)

I think their should be proper sniping in this game, with windage and elevation knobs, not user created or anything like that, I mean official. A realism game that is supposed to simulate shouldn't be half assed, and it would be more rewarding for the sniper kills with a new system. Who's with me on this?

People who defend a game, ffs a GAME, and its developers probably haven't ever left the house and experienced real life, and instead sit posting on a forum bsing about how they have fought in iraq and shit.

I cried in laughter

erm, all the people that are so bothered about whether something is 'emo' or not, are just insecure. There are a lot of bands that get labeled 'emo' and they sound nothing like each other! You have to distinguish the difference between 'emo music' and an 'emo kid', they are not the same thing/interlinked with each other. It seems that anything that is melodramatic/depressing suddenly becomes 'emo' because of frickin hearsay and the term being thrown about by the averagely intelligent person. Take Enter Shikari for instance, They are partly post-hardcore, a genre that is commonly mistaken by pretty much most people for 'emo', and have mixed it with electronica and trance which is thought to be a genre of music that 'scallies' or 'chavs' listen to. The lyrics are still overtly sentimental, with one song describing the metaphor of a 'curtain coming down' on a boy who can't get the attention of a girl who he is attracted to. Yet, the melodramatic lyrics being a trademark of what would be defined as 'emo' (which is all that ever does attract any band being defined that) it is cancelled out by being and original sound, and the songs being written originally and full of energy. You should not be insecure about music and if corresponds to your background or whether you want to be seen listening to it. It doesnt matter what genre it is, you still should be trying it and taking into account whether it is good and worth a listen.

Maybe you could choose to start off as a soldier recruit, or officer cadet. With the two paths being different styles of gameplay, the soldier recruit's job is to learn and put into to practice field combat skills, the officer's job is to learn about and use strategy, instruct formal parades (by parades I do not mean a parade that marches through a city, I mean the organised parade where the soldiers stand to attention / at ease e.t.c.) and maybe manage things such as the armies finance, the standard issue of kit e.t.c (???) Of course this is my vision of the game being a tactical FPS/RPG/RTS which would just be amazing.
