Maybe maybe you could if the thing in the middle was a 'v' and not a '^'. But as it is now you can not range find with it like the ACOG in anyway. They are using a totally different approach to it. Mil dot scopes are giving you things to calculate the distance from given you have the scopes constant and the width/height. The ACOG has the result from that calculation for a specific width painted on the scope. That is a totally different thing but both are precise and efficient. You are just taking a mil dot scope and guessing a distance and saying it is like the ACOG's scope.

Just from a very quick test (only double checking my data once and doing all measurements on the targets on the map shoot range 2 (they are somewhat close the same width as a player, I think). And you can get it fairly correct by 1100/lines over the shoulders=distance. That formula is not perfect as I didnt really put enough time into the measuring and it was not even measured on a player character. But even so until someone else that isn't in the "derpderp I don't know how to do it so... it is impossible, derpderpderp" mindset comes along and fells like doing it for real (more precise measurement and on a player). That formula is the best you got. Edit: 1100 is the product of the scope constant times the width. But as I don't really know the width of my targets I used when calculating this I am only using the product. Edit2: It is also worth noticing that using the width makes it harder then the scopes using the hight (dudes are taller then they are wide (in most cases)).

Some things you don't have to learn from experience (like this). And I would need to try the gun out to make observations to build the formula on in lack of access to the source code yes. And the threads topic is if you can estimate the distance using the scope. Not how to guess the distance whatever or not based on experience.

the ACOG has a totally different kind of scope. It does not use mil dots or anything really like it. It is just what line matches the dudes shoulders. For the cz550 you will need to count how many lines fit in between his shoulders and from that make a calculation (like with the normal vertical mil dot you use distance=(height*1000/mil dots). The ACOG's scope is of a totally different sort. "ACOG That is what you do not have to do. That is what the lines are for. Cold precise calculations without any need for guesses or experience. Edit: With so many people here claiming you can't calculate with it and that you need too make a guess from experience. I will give you a fricking exact formula if someone can tell me how the shooting range work, is it a server, mod or tutorial mission?

That is the case for the ACOG yes but not for the CZ 550. The lines are far to far apart.

Created this account just to point out how incredibly stupid that post (and most other off topic posts about how you can use the map) is. Just because some stupid person said you cant just because they dont know how, doesn't prove anything. The fact that it is possible to get the range with just the scope is totally obvious due to the fact it has some kind of mil lines. But it is true it does require a brain... I personally dont know the formula for calculating anything of the mil lines and I am far too lazy to create one myself. But saying you cant is just stupid and wrong. What does that have to do with the topic. Or second thought what does that sentence have to do with anything at all?
