How to shoot accurately while leaning?

[frozenjaws 69]

I recently engaged a team of 3 people at 50-70m with a fully decked out mosin, everything pristine, zero'ed at 100, aimed for the neck and missed. From what i could tell that would have hit his head and if not his head, it would at ateast have hit him, now my question is, how much does leaning matter when shooting for accuracy.

Turning a gun at a 45 degree angle would throw off the center of the crosshair by half the amount of distance the "zero'ing" is compensating for both laterally and horizontally wouldn't it? or am i completely overthinking it?

Imo the zeroing mechanic is kind of primitive. When you lean it only affects the horizontal (notice how the mosin scope is unaffected by the leaning. It looks always like your are not leaning). Also maybe your barrel was pointing at the wall you hid behind. Did you check that? If you can see someone in your scope, doesn't mean that your muzzle is pointing at him, the muzzle might still be behind the wall.

i was definitely clear of the wall, its just one of those things you have to practice i guess.

OR!! OR! or... Does your character actually turn your gun while leaning?? is actually a more important question, and does it affect the sights and where the gun hits compared to the scope, which it should.

Nope, that has no effect.

"shoot accurately" is something that does not exist in this game and looks like it never will.
