Compass

Recommended Posts

The compass needs to be fixed. The angle is horrible, as I can barely read it. No one would ever realistically hold a compass at that angle to read it. It would also be useful to include mils, and degrees with a straight edge on the side of the compass to lay it over a map for triangulation. Why was the standard arma 3 NATO compass removed from the game? It was perfect.

You hold a compass to the ground and tend to look over it.

I usually only use a compass IRL when it's very cloudy.

When I use my compass I hold it against the map, find north on map and line it up with magnetic North.

Then I use the hills and any other landmarks to try and find my exact position.

It isn't that hard to read though, but I'd still like to use it with the map.

or you just hold your cursor over the compass in inventory, it's a bit hard to read but it works

I never use the hotbar for the compass.

Just "inspect" it from your inventory, it tracks your position from there as well.

 it does? cool i thought that was just to preview the item
