How easily should you hit a moving target?

Hey your totally right, good call on that one. I read an article saying to imagine MOA as a triange. The sited location being one point and two shots being the other. MOA would be the distance between the two shot points.

Yeah, I made a little diagram to further illustrate the concept.



A: Firing position
B: Edge of circle encompassing the three strikes
C: Opposite edge of circle encompassing the three strikes
D: Target position
θ: Angle of triangle

So we have |AD| as the distance to the target (namely in metres or feet), θ as the width of the group (namely in MOA) and |BC| as the width of the group at (namely in centimetres or inches).

25%

However I find (atm) that hitting running target with
the "standard" m16 is easier that with other weapons.
That's coming from a tank whore who plays on
"the axis" side on the prt (read don't use the m16 that often)

I said 75% for reasons stated above

[Garmax]

assuming your a good shot it should be 75%

amazing shot you maybe not a 100 but pretty close..

crappy shot.. your lucky to land a few bullets..

but it shouldnt be that hard to hit a moving target

[Duende]

if you assume that the target has a linear traject... you could hit him 90% of the times...

if teh conditions do not include this, i´ll keep with the 75%.

you have to lead your target while they are moving. it just takes practice to master the bullet speed.

I voted 25% for realism issues ingame. As PR currently is, fire and movement tactics are ALOT more useful then they used to be thanks to new supression effects and deviation. This would be ruined with a higher hit percentage on moving targets.

Surely if you aim straight at a moving target the target will not be there when your bullet arrives?

Should you not have to stagger your fire?

I say a good shot should be able to hit 99% of the time.
