2 Fail Bandits...

[Xero66 26]

So this is my second field report...this time of me and a mate, the 2 most fail Bandits on DE1(or DE4 if 1 is down).

So we were on the NW Airfield...pillaging Barracks...nothing in...so we went to the other Baracks(with the 2 Hangars beside them), thats where the action set in.

Me: Equipped with a DMR, Mate: M14/Bison-SD

I spot on the other side of the airfield and se a guy crouching right between the Hangars with a AK.

So i did some training in the SP to get used to reading mil dots and stuff, so i asked my mate if i shall take the shot (was pretty confident even though he was moving).

He said ok, so i shot...BAM hit...but his not down, probably only legs broken.

Next 2-3 shots missed badly. Zeds running up to us and we had to kill em off (you cant imagine how fucked up our aim was somehow).

This guy managed to crawl into the hangar and got cover.

When the Zeds were down i spottet him in the Hangar again (what an Idiot to leave cover, but good guy for not DCing! Respect for that!) and shot. Miss, Miss, Miss. He got to cover again.

I mean, what the Fuck...i easily shot everything with my CZ550, and in SP i also pwnt the shit outta the KI. My aim was so fked somehow.

So i tell my mate that i will have eyes on the hangar, he shall run up there and throw a grenade in.

He did it, and threw the grenade OVER 9000!!! meters over the Hangar! WTF are you doing bro? "Im not used to throw nades..."...i loled xD

A Zed came near him, and probably thinking he had his silenced Bison in hands he shot it. With the M14, right beside the Hangar, with the other guy in it....and about 10 Zeds...

I bet this guy must have laughed his ass off seeing that.

But i saw him too, so another shot! MISS, WTF! So THEN i noticed, damnit...when i zoom the DMR in, the Zeroing changes from 300 to 400m. No wonder my shots didnt hit...i sucked hard. But after i noticed it i shot him in the head and down he went :P Nothing more to laugh, and never loot our Barracks/Hangars again smartass!:P

So my mate had a smoke granade left and threw it to withdraw Zed aggro from him in the meantime. Atleast that worked. Because with his now broken legs he would have gotten nowhere hehe xD

So tldr: We failed hard in so many ways. I shouldnt even put this on the forums. But as there are so often only "perfect killstorys" i decided to give this a try :p

You know, a lot of people say the zeroing changes on the DMR when you use the extra zoom available. I've tested this in a training mission you can find on armaholic which puts you on a shooting range, which you can change the type of target, it's distance and whether or not it is moving, and you can select any gun you'd like to use at any time. So I put the target at 300m, and fired without the extra zoom. A little bit high, ok no problem. Zoomed in(supposedly a 400 zero), shot... same exact place, about 4 or 5 inches high. I aimed for dead center, it hit in the neck. I repeated this step over about 15 times. Same results every time. Put the target out to 400m. Aimed for a headshot each time, using both zoom levels. Headshots each time with little to no change in shot placement.

The wiki says 400m, and although others have started the rumor of the change in zero with the zoom of the scope, I'm going to go with my gut and say it doesn't change it what so ever. Honestly the ballistics are weird on the DMR. From 400-600m, the mildots work in increments of 100m for me. Out past that, and they are all out of wack and 100m no longer is the correct measurement per dot. To hit a target at 800m with a DMR, you have to line up the part of the crosshair that starts to get thick, below the lowest mildot, and put it on the area you want to hit. Kind of like you're aiming with a front iron sight. Strange, but meh I'm used to it now. Even though the DMR shoots much faster, which is great for the DCers, I still prefer the M24 for the zeroing MUCH more, when it comes to snipers that fire a 7.62 projectile.

I've also found, that on the AS-50, the zeroing is NOT accurate what so ever at ranges of 1000+ meters. meaning, you can rangefind a target not moving at 1200 meters, set your zero for 1200, aim, fire and not hit where you aim, or relatively close to it. I'd still have to aim high.

Funny. I know how you feel.

The other day, two friends and I were out looking for downed choppers. We started to take some inaccurate fire, so so we split up and set out to surround the two guys stalking us. We lay out the plan, get in position.. and just when we are about to have the bandits cornered.. One of my friends runs out into the open, and starts spamming fire at them with his DMR. We lose them as they run into the bushes.

Our ambush was foiled, but we try to salvage it. We get a better position before they flank us. AGAIN, our guy alerts them to our position. One dives for cover, and the other keeps running. I take out the prone guy with an m24 shot to the eye, but the other guy is running around like mad. It took around 20 shots to kill him. Finally, he stopped moving so he could aim at me, I put a round in his arm, then his chest, and then my buddy tags him in the head. By the time he died, he had been shot twice by my m24, six times from my buddies ar15 ( I forget what one exactly) and twice by the other guys DMR.

What would have been a simple 2-3 shot bandit assassination turned into a 30 minute ordeal of moving around and then spam firing at moving targets. Still, it was pretty funny.

wow

where the fuck do you play that noone DCes after getting shot at?

[Xero66 26]

@shoki

I heared that there are a few playes that have a bit honour left :P

Or they are just to stupid to log out...but really, i personally never logged off in a fight. It gives me the thrills, and even outnumbered i feel like having a slight chance to win.

Well, one time i logged off, but not in a real fight...was just hundrets Zeds because of my 2 round Shotgun...and so before i shot them all i down i deciced to call it a day/night. So i guess thats acceptable ^^
