You can easily make a 1.5km jump without pulling the chute early, you just won't get the chance to get the low chute deploy. The best way to figure out the closest jump point is to jump when your map waypoint is directly over the front wing of the plane, because that's the shortest straight line.

Does zeroing actually work now? I thought it was broken 2-3 patches ago, or that the drop wasn't severe enough.

I don't think zeroing has changed since beta. That said, I don't believe it to actually work correctly, but then again ranges are shorter than you'd think. When I got my 666m kill, I'm pretty sure I zeroed to like 400 or something but still had to use a hold over.

Semantically, "you" is both singular and plural, though syntactically it is always plural. It always takes a verb form that originally marked the word as plural.

Also, there is no plural when the context is an argument with an individual rather than a group. Somfin shouldn't put words in my mouth.
Yeah, the ACOG doesn't work like it does in in Arma. A minor irritation that's negated by bullet drop seeming to be far less than in Arma.

Speaking of aiming are there any guides for leading a target at range? I can't hit anything for poo poo further than 80 meters out. People say to watch where the bullets go but I can't see where my bullets hit.

I wonder how many people pad KDR by dropping with the afk/disconnected crowd.

I wonder if I should start doing that.

I've done it twice in solo, but only got two kills each time. Both times it was one AFK and one vulture. Not really sure if it's worth it.

Might be fun to always ride the plane to the end and just make do with wherever it spits you out, free afk kills or no.

Dis is amazing!
I gotta try dis!

If you dive and tap w to get up to 230+ km/h, your parachute will open a little lower than everyone else's. Only useful when you're trying to get into a contested building that's near the flight path first, but it works. It was in one of those tip videos which was maybe posted earlier in the thread. The other skydiving tip was you accelerate faster by tapping w than holding it. That one's been hit or miss for me but I may not have the rhythm for it down yet.

Hmm good to know

Like I've said previously, i dont bother with zeroing because Battlefield sniping bitchass dudes from across the map required me to hold the last line of the scope WAY the hell over my intended target

sat there once with a sniper rifle and an 8x scope adjusting the zero between each shot and at a distance anyway, it seems to matter a lot

Can confirm that if you watch kongphan+grimmmz duos you will be seeing lots of hyper aggressive play. They'll get more serious about using cover and playing relatively conservative if it's late in a round and they've got a chance at a chicken dinner, otherwise it's all about provoking fights. They're also quite good at tactics and communication, but not in a dumb "look at how military I am" way. They are dudes playing a video game at a fairly high level but not taking it too serious.

Also it might be an acquired taste but imo pflax is hilarious when he goes on those unhinged rants. I wouldn't blame anyone who can't stand him though (and tbh I suspect he'd say the same, he isn't one of those people who have zero self awareness).

Kind of late to the discussion, but I agree that Grimmmz is fun to watch, and his duo with Anthony is great. I watch Anthony sometimes because I find his stream to be a higher quality, but Grimmmz is more enjoyable overall. Both really skilled players and they have great chemistry.



I picked this game up over the weekend, and I'm surprised at how fun the game is. It has all the fun parts of dayz and none of the tedium. Game runs decently well too. I hope the development keeps up and it doesn't languish like other early access games.

It makes sense when you think about the engine handing off all the stuff to the CPU since low graphics usually mean you're using the onboard video chip on your laptop

Did they break the loot again today? Currently halfway into first match of the day and have come up with 20 pistols and an uzi in Pochinki.

e: Same thing the next four rounds. I'm seeing half of the total loot table repeat over and over and over.

That makes sense if it couldn't detect that I have a gtx 970 instead of onboard.

We dropped on yasmaya and georgo at least half a dozen times last night and always came away with poo poo loot after hitting all of the apartments/crates so I wouldn't be shocked

You can definitely change the zeroing on ARs and snipers at any time. ADS or not. I do that every game. Never tried with SMGs. Why would you ever change the zeroing on an smg anyway? You don't use an UMP past 60 meters anyway.


Also, reminder: One map square on the minimap corresponds to roughly 100 meters. Helps with zeroing.

Are you running an SSD? Are you using Ultra textures/distance? You should be doing all three of these.

They aren't, but it is a military base with a semi-vault, a church, and a regular military building so you get good gear. Best bet is if the plane is heading NE over Primorsk and you can drop into a boat near the island.
