Project Reality Forums

It's sometimes hard to hit those 100 yard shots with the bulky thick iron sights.
Anyone agree that the ironsights should be re-designed?

Not the priority for the DEVs I guess.

That's exactly what I wanted to suggest. YES!
sights on nilla L85 are nice and thin


Sights on PR-devs-made L85 are thicker.


It would be nice to make them all thin, espesially M16.

So realy the reason you all want it smaller is so it's easier for you to use? Not realism (I highly suggest heading to a gun store and looking down the sights on a bushmaster or the equivalent.

Well, not just me, everyone else who plays the mod. I'm not talking anything drastic, but thin them out enough so that long single shots can be put to mark a bit better. a few mms, perhaps.

I don't understand you

Uhm, I personally don't want it to be thinner.
Just wait for .6, then most of the assault rifles will have optics...

is that so?
Really?

I hope that's not a nasty rumor.

Thats the point i'm trying to make.

This mod is called Project Reality for a reason. the moment the devs start making decisions based on what people would like, then the whole game would go a different direction.

You're way off base. The dev team listens to and weighs suggestions from the forum all the time.
It is quite viable to make suggestions for this mod. Whether they happen or not is up in the air, but to suggest is very acceptable. In fact, there is a 'suggestions' section just for that.

Perhaps you should browse the forum a bit before you recklessly post to threads.

I'm sorry if I upset you there....that was not my intention........BUT you have already had one of the devs saying that changing this would be detrament to the idea of reality. So there is no point in posting any more.

What I found strange was that you said everyone would like thinner sights.....how do you know this? I for one would not.

the real issue is not too thick or too thin, the problem is your eye is too close the the gun, as if the gun had no buttstock. irl you can barely see through the m16/m4 iron sight. i know cause i have looked through them myself. red dot sights are also way too close to your eye in bf2. you can see almost your whole screen through the reflex sight on the m4. go look at the sights in americas army or red orchastra. even though these sights are 3D, the perspective of the gun being farther away from your face could be mimicked in 2D iron sights if the devs redid them.

I suppose the sights could be done in 2d, but they would be damn ugly...

As the sights are already 3d ish then perhaps the view can be taken back slightly. Perhaps??

LOCK IT!!

just because one DEV posted his thoughts does not invalidate this suggestion. I have heard others suggesting this as well.
