Do you even aim???

[Dankine 377]

any oldskool gamer wont aim up !!!!

i never aim up becuase you lose vital seconds aiming up and also if you have cross hairs in hip fire the target is smaller more precise ;)

what are you talking about aiming up?

I've found that I only tend to get killed in firefights if a) the other guy totally has the drop on me B) my weapon is totally out classed (ie pistol v rifle) or c) im on a laggy server and can't react quickly enough in close quarters.

Last couple of wins:

Caught a ghillie suited bandit sneaking up behind me with an AKM, maybe 50-100m off. Turn, we both duck behind opposite ends of a long wall, switch to first person, zoomed gunsight, single Winchester shot to the face.

Pistol fight in the woods. Duck behind a tree. He fires, I do a little E, fire, E, fire while my partner flanks to the right. Nothing but flies buzzing around .45 hole where his face used to be.

Last couple of losses:

Running around Cherno with an Enfield. Some guy starts spraying me with automatic fire from a doorway. Server is too laggy to meneuver properly but he must have fired at least an entire clip.

Explorer a bar in Cherno. All of a sudden Katniss Everdeen bursts in the door firing her crossbow. Again, can't line up the target properly with my revolver because the frame rate has gone to shit.

I don't like to spray and run. Better to find cover, aquire the target, then spray the shit out of him.

It has been proven that aiming at the hip proves that you have no regard for hitting your target.

Yes, I aim.

I try to aim, sometimes lag and nerves get the better of me. One situation where I won't use the sights is when I'm injured (without painkillers) on servers with crosshairs.

Or when I spent an hour practicing with my DMR in ArmA 2 and when I logged in I got shot in the back and lose everything, M4 CCO, Coyote pack, binos, all neccessities. After that I just ran around aimlessly. :lol:

I assumed they were role playing the stereotypical Hollywood bad guy who can't hit the broad side of a barn.

The main reason i always aim is to conserve ammo, especially if im using the MK 48. That thing chews through it's belt so it's best to aim and burst shot.

I don't like running back and forth to hotspots for ammo so aiming is a must, only ever in the most dire of circumstances will i fire from the hip.

Lol Derpy you mean there is an aim function for LMGs? I thought you just pulled trigger and walked it to your target! Hmph learn something new everyday! :P

Seriously tho, it is futile to not to! Like Puppet said so many people unload at you while you just pluck them off.

Short Sharp Bursts... I'm probably deadlier with an LMG than any Sniper.

Yeah me too! Except it's my squad that I usually end up killing! Ok it only happened 3 times but to hear them guys it's everytime i break out the LMG! I been rocking a M4/M204 lately with a M-14 aim as back up. Everyone seems happier and more aliver! ;)

I do in many other games, in arma ( just dayz, its fine for normal arma as it's slow paced and fits it) its almost pointless. Its very slow, the movement while ADS is too clunky for the fast paced speed you need and it feels like it gets in the way instead of helping you.

Something i hope is fixed.
