Too bad bandana's make you look like a cancer patient..

Does AKM have toggle option for single fire?
Etherimp replied to Apom's topic in New Player Discussion
Those situations sound like a reasonable time to use full auto... or a lot of bullets.. -
I travel to elektro with a few friendly players, when one in our group gets ambushed.
-
The mosin doesn't shoot to the left anymore.. That's been fixed.
-
I'm sure that shot tickled at that range. It's taken me upwards of 3 Mosin shots at 800 meters to score a kill unless you hit the head.

Does AKM have toggle option for single fire?
Etherimp replied to Apom's topic in New Player Discussion
Why on earth would you use full auto on any weapon? It's honestly the easiest way to lose a gun fight. AKM with a drum mag, or M4 with a 60 round coupled mag.. doesn't matter.. It takes 1-3 shots to kill.. You should land those 1-3 shots fairly easily by tap firing. The only time I could rationalize using full auto is if you're spamming shots through a door/window at someone, or if a group of players is bunched up in a narrow hallway... and how often does that happen? -

bumpity one time.

Thanks! I agree.. Lukas tugged at my heart strings. Guy was a champ.

I don't think there's anything wrong with the conversation. People shouldn't just take what others say at face value and assume they're 100% informed. I make an effort to inform myself and verify facts rather than just buy whatever someone else is selling.
-
Send me a pvt msg telling me how to get that stuff? I'm at work ATM.

Friendly encounters really aren't that rare. Your situation is rare .. But in general assuming you aren't deathmatching in berezino or looting nwaf or balota, its not uncommon to have friendly encounters.
-
Thank you. Will this also display the weight/dexterity values? What about kick/recoil? Can I just view these files as a text file or do I need a specific program?
-
Collected when and by who and how? As above: if you and I cannot verify those numbers ourselves then for all I know people on these forums are just talking out of their asses... Which happens all the time. So show me how I can see these numbers myself and how I know they are the values the game is using.
-
The math isn't the problem. When were these numbers taken from the files and where's a complete (updated) list of values from the current patch listed? I'm not questioning that at some point these values were correct. I'm doubting that all of these values are still the same. Give me a reliable source so we're not basing our argument off of assumptions and/or incorrect data. Show/explain to me precisely how I can go about getting these numbers so I can verify your data. If you can't do that then its not scientific.
-
That doesn't look like proof to me. That looks like a quote of someone talking about dispersion. Please link to raw data taken from the latest patch.
-
Please show me indisputable proof that the AKM has no "spread" and the M4 does.
-
Don't be a SHOUTY BANDIT STREAMER.. We have 1000 of them already.
-
Sounds easy. The only limitation I don't like is the gun.. I often roll with an SKS and it's become my bread and butter weapon.
-
This has not been my experience at all.. 90% of the map is wilderness. You're only going to be in CQB's inside of buildings, and even then you often need to fire out of the building to an approaching/escaping target, or potential snipers.
-
Dude, you're wrong and just trying to defend your position.. You're telling me what I have experienced, and you're incorrect. *I* HAVE had people use exploits against me, and I still don't resort to using them myself. I have a video I'm working on right now which shows me killing 2 guys who are actually hiding inside the walls of the ATC at NWAF.
-
"Bandit" is a viable play-style. Glitcher is someone using an exploit to get an unfair advantage. Basically, you're a cheater. . . You're just excusing it because the game allows it due to bad coding. Wallhacks and aimbots are also possible due to bad coding.. But you should use them cause other people will/do, right?
-
Dispersion is not the only measure of accuracy. There's also bullet drop, recoil, and sway.. not to mention the AKM is extremely heavy compared to the M4 so the dexterity on it is shit. Combine that with the fact that there's no RDS/KOBRA on the AKM and you have a weapon which is not as well suited for close range as the M4. For medium/long range, the M4 iron sights are better and the ACOG fills the same role as the PSO. And, I could be wrong, but I think the .1 dispersion on the M4 is only if it doesn't have attachments, which as I stated in my post: "A fully kitted M4" vs "A fully kitted AKM". People have a hard on for the AKM because it's the newest fully auto weapon and it's "iconic", and the M4 has got a bad rap due to the previous issues with dispersion. I'm pretty sure the mechanics have changed quite a bit in recent patches. Just last night I killed 3 people at 200+ meters with an M4, and 2 people in close quarters all in the span of about 10 minutes with nothing but a MAGPUL buttstock and an RIS grip on it. (Not the best grip).. Wasn't even using a scope, just iron sights. The accuracy on the M4 is just fine. Also worth considering: M4 60 round mag requires 2 vertical slots, AKM 75 round mag requires 4.. Nothing to do with performance, but I think it's worth mentioning when talking versatility.

Add report server button? Rate servers?
Etherimp replied to TheGreatPerson's topic in General Discussion
I think this is a genius idea.. As for the "trolls", all rating sites/systems have trolls. If someone scores a good server a 1, another 10 people who recognize it's good will score it a 5. -
Easier doesn't make it better. By your logic the Blaze95 is the best weapon in the game. They're easy to find, no kit required, extremely accurate, high damage. Performance wise, a fully kitted M4 out-performs a fully kitted AK in the ways I listed above. IE - Rate of Fire, Versatility, Accuracy. Once there is a KOBRA sight added for the AKM, it will even up a bit.. But currently, the M4 is just better to have.
