    Dagger Scopes for Arma 3

    Awesome! Thank you for making these.
  2. @Brisse Ok hopefully that could be implemented at some point. Thanks for the reply. Love your Swedish Force Pack btw
  3. Sorry if this was already touched on. I was wondering what kind of "long-range marksman/sniperish" stuff will be implemented. I know parts of Ruthbergs AB, Kestral and ATragMX will be used(which is awesome), but is there anything else planned? For example will the Mcmillan TAC-50 make an appearance along with other rifles? Is there a possibility of spotting scopes with ballistic reticles. Maybe more scopes with "Xmas tree" reticles? Also, how will ammo and magazines be implemented. Will all weapons use the same ammunition/magazine database? As opposed to having 3 different STANAG w/M855A1 for 3 different mods. I hope that made sense. Anyway, thanks again for making this mod.

    ARMA 3 Addon Request Thread

    Hi All! I'm wondering if a mod or script exists(or maybe in the base game already?)where I cant precisely customize the atmospheric conditions. Like setting it to ICAO Standard Atmospheric Conditions for testing ballistics. If someone could point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

    Advanced Ballistics (WIP)

    @mason05 there is another mod by the same author called atragmx. Its a ballistic calculator and has a range card feature. It doesnt take spin drift or coriolis into account so keep that in mind while using it. There is some good information in the first post thats worth looking at.

    I'm agreeing with you, no sarcasm intended.

    Advanced Ballistics (WIP)

    @TiborasaurusRex yeah I tested the .300 Berger WM, .408, MK248 M1, and M118LR on Takistan out to their effective range and they're all right on. :) I was using v1.36 I haven't tried v1.38 though. Is there another link to those missions? It said "File has expired and does not exist anymore on this server" :(

    Advanced Ballistics (WIP)

    @Ruthberg, Thank you so much for making this mod. It's the next best thing to actually going to the range(and cheaper). Also your 360 course is tons of fun too. I have a few Ideas and figure it's best if I get it out of my system now. 1. It would be pretty awesome to see a system where one could input their own gun/ammo data. The model of the weapon doesn't matter(some placeholder) but barrel length, muzzle velocity, twist rate, etc would be accurate(an in game gui. Same with bullets. Thinking about all the variables it sounds like this would be quite the undertaking so maybe down the road...or never lol. 2. Maybe a shooting sling were it helps reduce sway(specifically in the sitting or standing positions).It could just be in the persons inventory (or more accurately in the persons "uniform" slot. Not necessarily on the rifle. 3. Implementing Natural Point of Aim in some capacity. I don't know how one could implement this or if it would enhance game play or just be annoying. Again just an idea. @TiborasaurusRex, Thanks for the updated BC/MV. I'm still messing around with them but I can say the updated .408 BC is PERFECT. I am getting consistent hits beyond 2500 Meters (On VR map, no sway mod, no wind). :D That's all I got. Hope I added to the conversation. Thanks to all who helped make this mod.
  9. Hi Goblin, First of all this looks like it's gonna be awesome good luck with it. I've been wanting a mod like this for quite a while. As far as info on ballistics goes, a site called JBM ballistics is a good place to start. Another good site is shooting voodoo. It's more geared toward technique and equipment. If you can get your hands on a "Sierra" or a "Berger" reloading manual the would help a lot to. I'm not military but I do shoot long range and have shot competition in the past, so if you need help on the information side let me know.
  10. HORUS VISION RETICLES Hi all I'm REALLY new to forums in general so sorry in advance if I did something wrong. I think these would be a pretty cool addition. Especially if authentic scopes are modded into the game( say a Schmidt & Bender 5-25x56 PM II scope? ). I know a reasonable amount about rifle optics and shooting in general, so if anybody has any questions about these feel free to ask I'll try to answer them. Like i said I don't know what the hell i'm doing so if your interested just google "horus vision" and you'll find a bunch of info and pictures on them. The official Horus Vision websight has a little demo at the bottom of the "reticles" page, that will show you how to use them.
