Accuracy Indicator

At the very least an indicator would come in handy for a sniper rifle. I mean, I doubt in real life it'd take them ten minutes to steady their hands. So it is kinda hard to judge ingame whether or not you're accurate. And a trial and error type thing is just out of the question for a sniper, since they need surprise to succeed.

Why not have some kind of indicator though?

Problibly impossible or hard to make a.k.a hardcoded

Nah, not hardcoded, really not. The crosshair would just have to be moved to the bottom, and i'm sure thats possible. (re-)moving the minimap, ammo indicator etc worked too, i dont see why this would be different for the crosshair.

But i understand that the devs dont want more stuff to appear on the screen, though i'd have nothing against a little indicator.

You're asking this again? It's because in real life you have no indicator either. You only "know" if you are steady enough. And in-game it's about the same, you "know" you're steady enough if you've waited a second and haven't moved your gun too much...

The perfect answer would be weapon sway, which is sadly hardcoded (if made in a realistic way).

Though, maybe "simulated" weapons sway (animation without effect) would be better than no indication at all. But i dont think it can be made in a realistic way...

Uhm... yes

[Lynx]

weapon sway would be a nice addition so that the sight would swing in a smaller and smaller circle until it's right on target

realistic 2. when I'm sniping I know when I'm on target because the cross-hairs line up when they don't I know I'll miss

so have an animation where the front and rear sights sway out of alignment progressively less and less until their dead on target. perfect solution!

[Spec_Operator]

Yes, but i dont know how possible it is, how hard to do and if there will be side effects.

[Zimmer]

naah I heard that even if you have weapon sway you will still shoot from the middle. or with deviation it will be random not following the sway.

[Oklahoman]

I still sort of think that the illusion of a weapon sway is better than none at all.
