Crawling = no shooting

title says it all pretty much, While crawling in PR i feel you shouldn't be able to shoot at all. and of course for about a second after you get into prone position. lets face it, find me one guy who can crawl while still pointing the barrel of his rifle at the enemy. of course the moment you stop crawling in about .4 seconds you should be ready to shoot with max deviation.

this'll probably help with eliminating prone divers. and create a slightly more realistic environment, it's kinda wierd when you can supress a guy while crawling up to him at the same time, it's like i'm sliding across the ground with my belly and just pushing with the legs.

Mate, don't you think if they could have done this, they would have by now? When the vanilla 1.5 patch comes out one of the big changes is that your deviation resets when you prone-dive. Thus removing that tactic from the game. I have also never seen somebody accurately shoot while moving forward proned. The whole deviation/stance thing is hardcoded so the DEVS have never been able to change it.

I don't know about you but I can crawl and shoot in real life. Now crawling while looking down the sights is another issue. It can be done but you move really slow (at least I do).

We're talking about the average soldier. I personally don't recall ever meeting any average GI that was trained to shoot whilst crawling.

Never the less this issue is hardcoded, until it's not we'll just have to shoot prone spammers before they shoot us.

well the deviation while crawling is extreme yes?

I was never trained to do it either.
