[heretic (DayZ) 76]

Easiest thing to do is follow this link;

Probably explains it far better than I ever could.

Skylining is correct for UK terms as in the action to avoid, Silhouette is a principal (so related but different) thats how I was tought to instruct it anyway.

Hello all

First time Ive heard of skylining too.

It matters not though as it's a good tip.

Just remember though, not all "real life" tactics apply in a game, even in a milisim such as this. But the OP's tip does.

Yes, everyone should remember that not all real-life concepts work in video games, and not all video game concepts work in reality. I as a player *always* try and adapt what I know from real-life (Boy scouts, hunting, fishing, shooting with my dad, military, etc.) over into gaming. Sometimes is works, sometimes not, Sky-lining certainly does though.

Thanks for the beans and kind words.

A good tutorial on using environment to camo yourself, it's in Russian but with pictures. The pictures on the left are "correct" positioning, on the right - "incorrect" in the same situation. If you are good you can hide like in the bottom left pic.

I prefer "standing on top of a hill like a moron". No loss in translation or need for explanation. :P

I think most people here are kids who's military experience is video games. That is fine though, I wrote this for them.

Hehehe, I love it when kids think they know how guns work from COD.

Just out of interest what country are you skyliners from as In my basic we used Silhouetting (U.K)

Seriously I never heard the word before (No offence meant)

I'm from the UK. the RM use Skylining.

Yeah, times are different now. I shot guns (and still do) since I was about 7 or 8, it's been a big part of my life. Amazing how much does and doesn't carry over to video games.
