Mounted LMG sights
Quick question; Will the map-placed LMGs in .8 be given their ironsights? I've not seen it in any updates; it's a simple little addition that's IMO much needed. The irons already exist (same as LMG kit and RHIB), just need placing on the mounted weapons. Without them it's a little guess work and walking the rounds onto target.

I hope so as they are IMO MUCH needed additions, and it shoulden't be too hard because the M249 SAW on the boats have iron sights.

Re: Mounted LMG sights
The sights don't line up so they've got to do extra junk to make it work. Note on the RIB M249, the bullets go ABOVE the sight.

Re: Mounted LMG sights
Surely that's just a case of moving where the ironsight overlay around?

Re: Mounted LMG sights
The GPMG needs a re-do all round, even if they lined up the sights they'd be unuseable.
The key to modernising any weapon is covering them in glue and tossing them in a barrel of M1913 rails until they look "Modern" enough.

Re: Mounted LMG sights
Yeah, they are a bit 'chunky' and tend to block out most of the target, though their ROF is high enough, coupled with the spread to make that not matter too much, by rules of averages one will land on target

Re: Mounted LMG sights
I thought they where removed anyway
Yesterday I found the button to use them but I didnt miss them that much. The high amount of tracers make it easy to hit anything you want. Maybe even easier than using the iron sights

Re: Mounted LMG sights
Relying on tracers only wastes ammo, gives a higher risk for overheating in a critical moment, and giving your position away(as if they didn't know already) before you get that critical first shot. Sights indeed need improvement.
