Serious talk....

Ok, we've explained zeroing, and explained the VSS....

But how is this affected by different scopes? Do the scopes change their properties based on the gun?

To break this down.
I've heard 7.62 has more bullet drop and is slower than 5.56. Is this true?
If this is true, if a target is 300 meters away, and you use a 4x scope, is the height adjustment the same for a scar and akm? Is the difference in bullet drop insignificant in the scope, or does the scope magically treat the guns differently?

What's the difference in aiming with different levels of magnification? I struggle more with higher magnification. Are they all zeroed to 100m or are they zeroed differently? If I put an 8x on a scar, where does the bullet intersect my top chevron? How radically does it affect my shots at different ranges? Do I have to aim below my target at closer ranges?

Has anyone detailed the different scopes with different bullet sizes and velocities with different ranges? I feel like i'M getting all this in bits and pieces, but nothing that goes over it completely.

I wouldn't be surprised if what Duckaerobics said about it being a stock or generic store asset is true given my experience with actually trying to use the ranging markers.

I haven't spent hours testing everything so a bigger sperg might be able to elaborate, but from what I've seen zeroing works for targets in the center of wherever you're aiming(which is seriously a good thing), but range markers on the scopes are not accurate or useful outside of a point of reference for bullet drop(i.e. look at where your bullet lands and adjust aim up accordingly).

Range markers on the acog might be accurate for a single gun or ammo type, but I recall actually trying to use the range markers to shoot at something 600m away with one of the ARs(don't remember which or even the ammo type) and not even seeing bullets hit anything until I adjusted my aim down and lined up a test shot to work out where the gently caress my shots were actually going and bullets were hitting well above the 400m notch on a building I knew to be approximately 600m away.

TL;DR - If you want to make long range shots you can't trust the ranging notches, get used to zeroing(rebind the keys if necessary).

This is good info.

I've started trying to punch as many different people as I can. It's hard to keep track once you get to the 30's because I can't remember who has been punched already.

My next favorite thing is to pick someone trying to practice shooting at range and completely ruining their practice.

Are all sensitivity adjustments independent?

Is targeting sensitivity relative to general sensitivity?
Can I jack up general sensitivity and keep the others low to make dragging items to inventory easier? I cant log in to servers right now to try it.

Yeah, I was thinking about that. My KDR is .96 and looking at that stat I'm worse than 50% of the population. Looking at my solo rating I'm in the top 11%. So my mmr is probably placing me with people that on average are better at combat than me. Does grimmz die early that much on stream to keep his rating down?

Grimmz is extremely aggressive and dies early pretty often, but not usually before he's gotten like 5 kills at a minimum. I don't think I've seen any behavior that would indicate that he's doing any dying on purpose (especially considering how mad he can get about dying)

I didnt think he was dying on purpose. He probably cares about KDR.
It just demonstrates how much it weights longevity over kills.

Hot tip that helped me. I aim with low sensitivity but dragging items into inventory was tough. I set general sensitivity much higher than my aim sens. I shouldn't be shooting unless I'm aiming and now I can drag items into inventory much quicker.

The reason for a post match replay of the whole match is two-fold. It's gives everyone a lot of cool information and video. By being postmatch no one can use it to "cheat" to help friends or squadmates.

The incidence of this sort of thing happening in solo has to be so rate it's not worth making huge gameplay decisions based on it. I mean, are people really making the effort to discord up with randoms, or alternatively joining and quitting games enough to get in with their buddies?

Sorry if I didn't make it more clear I was really only talking about solo. I don't think I've ever been killed in squad and not seen where it came from because you generally have your team looking out for you.

But yeah, even a slow pan over to where the shots came from would be fine.

The problem is perception is more important than reality.

I had a heartbreaking match last night. I was #10 and had great circle position and good gear at stalber...and got wedged in the geometry. All I did was back toward a corner where a wall and pillar met to 3rd person a wall. I didn't know I was stuck until I tried to ambush someone. It didn't look like I was in the geometry. I got all the way to #5 still stuck with me frantically trying to free myself. It wouldn't let me jump or prone but could spin freely.
I was about to be like 2 meters out of the circle and saw someone over the wall looking the opposite way.
I got desperate and tried to grenade him since I was going to die to circle but the grenade stayed stuck and killed me. If I had a do-over I'd just stay there and pop the ton of meds and boosts to see how long I could last

They should probably look over usage statistics and see that the Vector, Tommy Gun and VSS are incredibly under-used and then make appropriate adjustments.

How would you make the VSS better without making it too powerful? More damage? Less Drop off? Adjustable or replaceable scopes? Just make it more available? Other?

I'd start by reducing the reload time, it's currently the longest reload time besides the AWM. Then I might bump the damage a little.

Reload is a good start. I'm bad at the game, so my opinion doesn't count, but I'd like the bullet drop to be slightly less severe. Aiming more than a half inch over a target 175 Meters away seems excessive. I don't know exact measurements but it's pretty huge.

I have a 37 year old friend that just started playing this. His only previous shooter experience were cod and battlefield console games. He's using a mouse and doing well and understands why this is better than a controller.
Sure a controller person might be able to do "fine," but because of my job I've acquired a disdain for people that refuse to adapt for the better because they are afraid of change.

I hate being addicted to video games. I've been living at my lake house for weeks and I'm miserable because the internet connection is garbage. Is melee not client side? I absolutely can not use punches or melee weapons to hit anyone. I just swung a machete at a guy while colliding models with him at least 10 times and never landed a single one while he was trying to load and shoot a pistol at me. My ratings and kdrs have all been going down since I moved here for summer. Only one week left and I'll be back in the city.

That guy earlier was right. I do have a mental condition.
