Anyone think Al Basrah View Distance low?

[Drunkenup]

I've played Al Basrah on my clan's new ins server lately, mostly involved with sniping and armor, but doing both has realized that the maps can hinder their ability to do their roles, long range suppression, (More towards the sniper, but armor should always keep a distance). Looked at the files and it said that the max view distance is about 300 meters. This virtually eliminates the point in sniping.

Was the view distance once larger, and removed because of some issue? Like sound bug?

the view distance has never been larger as far as i remember, the map was designed back in the .5 days so it is quite old. with that in mind you also have to think about the size of the map and how tiny it would feel with the low distance between villages etc.

i think all the maps have a relatively low view distance, because when i play arma 2 im used to being able to see on for 1000's of meters
But i think this is due to the way gameplay would differ if the maps on Project Reality had larger view distances
