    Hey bandits, I have a story for you all. This all happened on DE 378. I have a video of some of it but here is what happened beforehand.

    I walked down to Cherno to meet my friend who just got the game (The other voice you hear in the background). We see a bus driving through Cherno, I snipe the driver and my friend takes his gear. We take the bus west to Kamenka where we were going to hide it until later. My friend dies without any shots fired etc. I assume it was an admin so I log out. Later we drive the bus back through Cherno and then we see a UAZ following us between Cherno and Elektro. We stop and try to kill the driver, I die and my friend kills the driver but he dies too, we respawn and try to get back there but we see another 2 UAZ's and a massive group of people around our bus and the first UAZ. We die a few times and then when we finally get back to our bodies they have nothing left and the bus+jeep have been taken. We run to Elektro and then this happens...

    We have two admins on the server and neither one was on at the time this happened.

    An admin can see coordinates from the web console, but those coordinates do not translate to anything in game usable and that console scrolls so fast you can't make use of it without downloading the damn 500meg saved logfile.

    I heard about this story later when I logged on. One of our guys that died happened upon the vehicle along the coast and called for backup.

    Okay, thanks for clearing that up. I guess it wasn't the best idea to park the jeep just west of Kamenka. Nice fight though! If only I could find your main base :P

    use it however you want... mildots are mainly used for rangefinding... very useful on the as50 because you can actually zero the damn thing. Anyway, the basic calculation is the height of the object ( in arma, a human is 1.8 meters tall), times 1000 divided by the height in mildots. So an example... let's say we have a target running across a field. He's 1.8 meters tall * 1000 is 1800. Next, put the horizontal line on his feet and measure how many mildots it is to his head.. lets just say 2.2. In arma, you can normally round things down when the target is at a reasonable difference, so we'll just round to 2 mildots. 1800/2 is 900 meters. Since he was a little bit taller than 2, we know he's a little less than 900 meters away. Now you can zero your scope to 900 meters, aim a little below center mass (DON'T go for headshots, as50 is a 1shot anywhere on the body), account for how he's moving, and shoot.

    Thanks for the tips, any good sniping spots I should know about?

    Hey, I was up in stary sobor at the military tents, heard shots. Found a guy, shot him with my enfield. He had an as50 with two 10 rnd mags and NVG's. I also have an ak with 2 mags as a secondary weapon. I have no clue what to do now and where to go with my AS. Any tips?

    EDIT: Any help on how to use the mildots on the AS would be appreciated too.
