I find that firefights in arma 2 are far too quick because the player's accuracy is too high (the weapon barely sways, and you can line up accurate shots too quickly). I was wondering if it would be possible to make a mod that represents lining up your sights in an abstract way. Kind of like in battlefield- when you bring up your sights what you aim at is not exactly what you hit. To be accurate you have to wait a little while first (representing the time it takes to line up the sights).
There would be an accuracy bar on the screen showing how aligned your sights are. if the bar is 100% full 100% you hit precisely what you shoot at. 50% may mean that your shot will land within maybe a 2 metre radius of where you aimed. Over time your "accuracy bar would fill up as your avatar lines up the sights.
If you are prone and have not moved or shot your accuracy bar will be at 100% meaning that whatever you aim at you will hit. If a bullet snaps past you however your accuracy bar will decrease to maybe 75 percent. Now your shot would land somewhere within a metre radius of where you aimed representing the fact that your avatar has flinched and the sights are no longer aligned resulting in an inaccurate shot. Eventually (1 or 2 seconds maybe) the accuracy bar would fill up to 100% as your avatar realigns the sights.
I think this would make shooting a lot more difficult, suppressive fire more useful and result in longer more realistic firefights.
Would it be possible to make a mod that does this. If so how hard would it be for a total newbie like me who just got the the game a week ago and knows nothing about making addons?
