JumpinJax 9 Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) I'll just keep this one short. I thought, that you maybe could be able to zero a Scope whilst scoping like you can in BF4.Also I'd like to see some sort of laser range finder or something, so that you know how far your prey is away from you. This could be found on construction sites. RegardsjumpinJax Edited February 17, 2014 by JumpinJax Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TEST_SUBJECT_83 465 Posted February 18, 2014 Yeah it takes time to learn to zero properly in DayZ.Keep at it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
terminal_boy 860 Posted February 18, 2014 Learning to just distance is key as the magically allows you to zero at X metres with a few button presses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaMaakus 34 Posted February 18, 2014 It would be nice to include a proper system for shooting and especially sniping first. As far as I can see, it is just like BF now, just a bit of bullet drop, thats it. Plus some jittering and sway.Don't see much of a use for rangefinders or such.

JumpinJax 9 Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) I might be mistake but don't the LRS and the PU Scope have a little adjuster on the side to compensate bullet drop, and I just thought it might be better if you could use it.And for the rangefinder I found some that people go hunting with: It would be nice to include a proper system for shooting and especially sniping first.Didn't get what you mean there, could you please explain?

cywehner1234 582 Posted February 18, 2014 I personally want all military snipers to be rare. Snipers ruined the mod, hard. Only Civilian weapons should be common >.> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JumpinJax 9 Posted February 18, 2014 And then we are talking about Russia, where they go hunting with a Dragunov. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, they do, and you CAN use it. PageUp and PageDown adjusts the zeroing for different ranges. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sry for the big picture don't know how to "Spoiler" RegardsJumpinJax Proper sniping means, not only simple bullet drop, but different bullet drop from different rifles, wind, maybe the rotation of the earth for reaaaaaaaaly long shots (last thing would be more a thing of bigger calibers).Probably needing to turn the "buttons" on the scope to zero the rifle in and compensate for wind. This would need a card with the settings for different ranges and different rifles. I think there was/is a mod for Arma2 which had such a system in. This makes long shots a bit more difficult instead of only having bullet drop.A Rangefinder would be worth its weight in gold if you find one. Also a wind meter (don't know the right word for it, it is a device to measure the windspeed). Anyways, I agree with AsOiX. Military grade sniper rifles should be very, very rare or kept out of the game entirely. BTW: To create a spoiler, simply put the picture between a [ spoiler ] and [ /spoiler], without the spaces between letters and brackets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monkfish (DayZ) 339 Posted February 18, 2014 Also a wind meter (don't know the right word for it, it is a device to measure the windspeed).Anemometer. You could very legitimately find them in the control towers at the airfields given that they are often used as a backup. They're delicate and highly calibrated though so I would expect them to be easily damaged/ruined and exceptionally rare in pristine condition.Source: I used to fly gliders and regularly used an anemometer on the airfield to determine if the wind was outside flying limits.
