I sneak around some dudes in Elektro, test out the Gorka Helmet with some friends, and try out the Flares from today's patch.

The idea is that there's different, visible animations for firing without and firing with the ironsights. Having your rifle leveled but more relaxed would be about as accurate as shooting without the ironsights is now, whereas when aiming down the sights your head would be tilted and the rifle would be shouldered.l The idea is that if someone's holding you at gunpoint, there's some kind of indication as to when they plan to take an accurate shot. You could stay at gunpoint and gamble as to whether they miss, or wait for them to move to aim down the sights to make your move.

It wouldn't be adding new controls to the system as it is now, it'd work exactly the same. It's just when you or another player looks down their sights, the character model that represents them would take on a stance or pose to represent that you are looking down your sights. The way it is now, it's just the perspective of the player who aims down the sights that gets changed. Raising and aiming have the exact same animation which is a little weird. If you think about it, it's like the character's eyes kind of just gravitate out of their head and go down to look at the sights of the weapon. I mean stance as a general term, I don't mean to reference the stance system in Arma 3, as much as I love that system.
