-Gews- 7443 Posted March 24, 2014 The Payday thread gave me an idea... I thought I'd check out how accurate the weapons in BF3 were compared to DayZ, single shot, aiming down sights... M4A1 = 1.69 times more accurate than DayZ version 1911 = 3.44 times more accurate than DayZ version SKS = 2.86 times more accurate than DayZ version 16 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katana67 2907 Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) If true, that's saying something, because BF3/4's "random spread" is atrocious. Edited March 24, 2014 by Katana67 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Publik 404 Posted March 24, 2014 Oops, I meant to post this in the actual Payday thread. Welp.Since you've got your own thread then, how do these numbers compare to measurable real values for dispersion on these weapons? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-Gews- 7443 Posted March 24, 2014 Since you've got your own thread then, how do these numbers compare to measurable real values for dispersion on these weapons? Too many variables, DayZ is anywhere from 5-30 times larger. Inconsistency bothers me more. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gibonez 3633 Posted March 24, 2014 Sad that a Arcade game like BF3 has more accurate weapons than a survival simulator with a Military sim pedigree. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
charliepow 100 Posted March 24, 2014 In Battlefield you are a trained supersoldier, in DayZ you are an idiot who washed up on a shore who needs help eating and drinking. 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gibonez 3633 Posted March 24, 2014 In Battlefield you are a trained supersoldier, in DayZ you are an idiot who washed up on a shore who needs help eating and drinking. Does that magically make the gun fire in a totally different direction of where its pointed at ? 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mullraugh 1151 Posted March 24, 2014 Sad that a Arcade game like BF3 has more accurate weapons than a survival simulator with a Military sim pedigree. Except everyone in said Arcade game are Russian or American soldiers. Everyone in DayZ comes from a Civilian background, unless you named yourself something like 1SGT. Dave J. Dingleberry and pretended to be a First Sergeant - which is extremely cliché and tons of people do it (minus the naming part). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How does that change the fact that the weapons in dayz randomly shoot in every which way. Sure you could be a green horn survivor who never shot a gun but making the gun shoot like a blunderbuss isnt going to simulate that . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd say is about 95% accurate with about a 5 cm difference from where I'm actually aiming. I'm not sure what you fellas are talking about, but DayZ guns are super accurate. What distances are you even shooting at? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The_Monk 320 Posted March 24, 2014 If I had just washed up on a beach in an unfamiliar place full of zombies, I don't think I could hit the broad side of a barn, having little to no real world firearms experience. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mullraugh 1151 Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) Well I dunno. I was able to hit a target from a decent distance with a .300 win rifle when I was around 15-ish, so I mean.. it couldn't be that hard to just pick up a gun and go. It doesn't take much skill to shoot a gun, really. The aiming LONG DISTANCE is the hard part I suppose. Edited March 24, 2014 by mullraugh 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pacific_coast 632 Posted March 24, 2014 this is accurate. i don't know what the "ballistics" for dayz will look like but i don't think they'll be as good as Arma 2 or BF3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
