shaca 0 Posted March 9, 2015 hello guys i dont know if this happens to me only but i have a wierd problem in my game.i watched some videos about hip fire and i see that none of the players on this videos have this problem...what happens is simple, imagine that you are with someone, both standing still, i use the dot to point to his head and if i put ironsights up the aim is about 1 meter lower than the dot...if i fire from the hip the bullet doent not go where the dot is but it goes in the spot where my ironsights aim if i look into it... i dont know if you guys can understand what i mean, if needed ill make a video...

Conrad_The_Comrade 577 Posted March 9, 2015 The dot isn't really something to go by, it just tells you where the center of your screen is. Those people in the videos you watched probably just had their shooting down :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blowurselfup 54 Posted March 9, 2015 I would like to suggest a very simple solution to eliminate the hipfire confusion and increase emersion - Get rid of that silly dot! B) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gibonez 3633 Posted March 9, 2015 the dot is not a crosshair and will be removed eventually. apparently the dot is there from the engine as the same dot is apparent in arma 3 when you press the function keys. It needs to be removed sooner better than later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yazar8 584 Posted March 9, 2015 (edited) I have done some comparison. The dot is around 3mm below than your actual sights. However, your FOV changes this value. The more your FOV is, the more accurate it will be (however it will not fully accurate) So try again with increasing your FOV. Also, the red dot is affected from sway, the only difference is its not visible. Edited March 9, 2015 by Yazar8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dagwood 680 Posted March 9, 2015 Is this variation between hipfire point of aim and iron sight point of aim present in FPV as well? I use hipfire on anything within 30 meters and into sights/optics for anything beyond that, so I have never noticed this phenomenon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
