I use the M203 to take out jeeps, shoot off high places and bounce round coreners ect. Can be long or medium range. I very realy use it short and when its short its to bounce it round corners.

Often...

So what about my suggestion? Instead of having the correct 3D Model... (that moves) just a little more or less "range" while pressing buttons... could be
done for sniperrifles as well...

I use it a hell of a lot, for a variety of tasks. I don't generally use the x-hairs at all. Rather I use an instinctive method rather like shooting a bow [which I do regularly in RL] and that gets the job done more often than not.

The reason many people don't use 203s is bacause there are no effective sites at med-long range. Like I said before, (don't know if anyone understood me or not) why can't you make a taller crosshair type thing that has many incriments (not accurate ones perhaps, just reference lines)and move it down away from the center of the screen? This will make a usable reference for med-long range shots and take away the newbtoob sites in the center. It isn't a perfect solution, but it would be better than the current one. Who knows, with enough tweeking, maybe they could be designed to be accurate.

'[R-PUB wrote:six7']With the lack of 3d sights presented by the BF2 engine, I think it would be impossible to make leaf sights that actually serve a purpose. You would not be able to use them to actually aim your grenade launcher. I guess it would look better than the current yellow crosshair, though.

Havent you seen the prewiew movies made by IGN!!! If not check them out here http://media.pc.ign.com/media/677/677882/vids_19.html

There you can see a great Ironsight for M203, I think they cut it from the game, cause there was no godd counterpart for GP25/30.

But why can't the dews ask DICE for it, they already have made one, it wont hurt to ask

They cut it from the game because it didn't work. Real leaf sights work as said above. The real sights are included in the game and the DEVs could easily add them, except they don't work as is realistic.

Either way, we need shotgun ironsights whenever you chaps decide to bring back the shotty.

'[k wrote:MuffinMaster']The only game that achived that (and is not taken into account by the author of the tactical shooter article) was "Joint Operations"
You could aim via Ironsights and choose the distance with the mousewheel.
Maybe you could mock that?
The "sight" does not change al all, but the range of te grenade does?
You could choose the distance by pressing "+" or "-" ?

Yeah, I was gonna mention Joint Ops. That game had some sorry looking iron sites but it still acheived a working M203/GP-25 site...

read the 1st, long post i made in this topic.

EDIT: also you do get the front site in the video, but there is no edviance that he can adjust the levele of the front sight with the leaf. all you see is on a set postion.

The Leaf that is in the stock files has only the leaf, if we added it it would be very much useless.

ok, understud, but even if it's useless it would be a cool feutres

It would be very un cool if its useless. Be cool for the first 5secs of useing it when you relize "ohhh its cool, its new!", play with it for a month and you will want the ones that acturly work back.

I beleive this thread has served its purpose. I posted it because I had my X-hair transparency set at full. so when I aimed it I never got the Aiming thing. Since I learned that there was infact a X-hair there then my suggestion to add one thats already there is in valid.
