Project Reality Forums

I would like to apologize in advance if this has been brought up before, but I did a fairly thorough search and only found information regarding the original suggestions of 3d iron sights.

My main complaint is the rendering of the aperture sights for the G3 leaves you with a very small and unrealistic sight picture. In reality, the H&K aperture sighting system provides a very large sight picture while maintaining quick target acquisition. Compared to the other weapons in game, I feel its much more difficult for this reason.

Current G3:

Quick overlay to demonstrate the significant difference:


In game shot with the model scaled up to provide a realistic sight picture:


I don't know how difficult this would be to take care of, but I think it would be a worthwhile endeavor.

can you really get your eye as close to the iron sight as you can with your camera? (your head will be in the way, no?)

And do you really want to get the eye so close to the sight? The g3 is known to kick like a mule.

I positioned the camera the same distance from the rear aperture as a persons eye would be. Its no closer than an aperture sight from the AR-15, which is rendered quite well as the M4/M16 in game.

For some perspective, to get the sight picture presented in the game, then end of the buttstock would have to be placed in front of your chin, not tucked into your shoulder as it should be.

I think this idea is great. Aiming with the G3 irons right now seriously sucks.

It's not about sucking, it's about how it is IRL
P.S. God damn it, my avatar doesn't work!

g3 irons rock, but im all for realistic sights.

I think the mods have said that they will move all ironsights a little bit closer to the camera, guess that will look more like the picture youre showing.

wash your dirty ginch that is on the floor!.lol

good pics though..i see what u mean.

The miniscule sight picture issue reaches across to many weapons, but the G3 is especially dinky. The SAW also has this problem, I've stopped using the kit mostly because of my inablilty to get a decent sight picture.

I wish I had any skills with rendering, otherwise I'd make this the M249's sight:

The iron sights on the MEC LMG could also need some fixing

Yeah, but again, I think it goes for many weapons (G3, AK, most LMG's...).

I need to dust off my aperture...

Couldn agree more on this matter, hope the devs do something here to get iron attractive (again?)

Hai gais, I cans raed minds



If it were moved any closer, the rear apeture would not be perfectly matching the ring of the front sight.

which I would guess would be realistic

Hey Chuc, that looks alot better I think it could go a bit more personally, but its a vast improvement that I will be more than happy to use.

git owt uf owr heds chook!!1

The only reason i agree is that the sights are too small comparatively due to the fact that a screen is smaller than the field of vision humans have.

Pretty much it should be adjust mainly due to the fact that it WOULD be larger IRL due to the fact that we see objects larger IRL than we do in PR.

=/ So i'd be more for allowing for this

it doesnt matter how much a rifle kicks, if you have it shouldered, your whole upper body moves with it so the sight's not going to go into your eye unless you were really noob with rifles
