mainly the AK i have noticed , but there are probably others, the AK sight is half way down the barrel , yet when u bring it up its right in ur face .... any 1 notice this ?

just thought i would say , but expect it to be alot of effort through new animation and what not so don't expect to see it in .7 :P

any 1 agree ? or do i have to get screen shots

yeah this is problem mainly with the AK i think.

Not too sure about it being fixed for .7, someone more knowledgeable care to clarify?

well as u can see from this screenshot the iron sight is right in the players eye:

and as u can see from this next screen shot the distance from the iron sight to the but is half the length of the rifle

and as u can see IRL the sight is not up against ur eye :

Well that screen is from vanilla so it's not valid, :p


The rear sight does seem a little over done for the AK, looks to wide as well.

Yeah, the last picture of the guy aiming down the sight of that gun, I'm sure he can see his own fingers and thumb that are between his face and sight.

Well, try shove that all in 90ºs field of view.

It's come up before, and I think they said it would require remodelling (?).

all the irons are to close.

for the m4 you are practically putting your eye into the back of the m68.

na , the sight is the lump before his hand , and his hand is to the side of the rifle not on top, but there r 2 sights , for and rear , but for the AK the rear is more like middle.

Any of you guys heard of perspective? :P

That bottom third of the screenie contains a large black mass in it... okay it could do with being a *little* larger but it's more or less right- you hold something long and slender up to your eye like that, you won't get the full impression of distance - it's a condensed view IRL, remember?

What you say makes sense, the Insurgency mod screen says everything.


Hope something get done.

Hmm I just took a picture with my webcam, then compared it to how the perspective looked from my eyes, I'd say Insurgency got it pretty much right.

Here's the pic BTW:

Not really if you take into account how your eyes handles the perspective.

Since most of our rifles are already modeled, this wouldn't take any remodeling. All of our models sights work just like insurgency's. As a personal opinion I'd rather 3D, but when we took a poll about this subject several months ago, the majority of devs voted against moving to 3D.
