Accuracy Indicator

[Cl_Flushentityhero]

So, I understand why crosshairs were removed, and I'm completely on board with that. The problem is that they also showed how severely moving affected your accuracy. Unless I'm mistaken, the only real indicator for when your aim is "set" in PR is trial and error. As a biathlon competitor, I'd say it's pretty clear when I'm ready to take a decent shot and when I'm not. Is this just a technical limitation, or is there some way to represent accuracy without reintroducing crosshairs?

If you need a clear, steady shot, keep still for a couple of seconds before firing. Do that, and your aim will improve, my friend.

In real life you hold your breath and such. BF2's engine doesn't support breathing and with that moving your rifle, but to simulate the holding-breath and keeping the rifle steady, wait like three seconds, then fire.
An accuracy indicator... is not going to happen, I'm afraid (though the HAT has it).

I believe you only have to wait 1.3 seconds before your shot is perfectly accurate? Three seconds is a little excessive...

haha, how bout when your sniper? you need to wait a minimum of 8 seconds before firing, and you cant move your scope :S

I guess that's all I needed to hear. I'd be curious as to why not, but whatever.

theres no way to tell when your bulletsand gun will be at their 100% acuracy in RL...u just have to trust yurself and use trial and error

Not true for purposes of moving accuracy reductions, particularly since the aiming time represents taking up a shooting stance. The shooter knows when he's in a proper firing position, or he isn't a very good marksman.

It would be nice if a little reticule at the bottem of the screen indicated your accuracy, kinda like the HAT accuracy indicator, but at the bottem of the screen. That way, when the two semi-circles meet, you know you've attained perfect accuracy. This would represent a human beings ability to know when to fire, as all marksmen would know.

Just take the time aiming and you'll "know" you're in a proper firing position.

I feel the current system works well. In reality, you will pause for a moment after you've stopped in order to set your weapon up in a position to fire. I don't have any trouble hitting targets accurately from any position.
