PR guns are too hard to hit anything with

[triggger30-06]

I was playing PR today a i relised that the guns are crap and you cant hit bad guys at all i wait 4sec between each shot and aim and the chest and no rounds hit them they go left,right,up or down. Its not that i a bad player i've play PR for 3 years and it only been this bad in 0.9 please fix the prob in 0.91 its unbearable.

Sounds like a personal problem. I can shoot people just fine, and it seems they can do the same to me.

Did you by any chance happened to use an automatic rifleman kit? With AR's four secs is not enough, you have to wait full eight secs for deviation to settle.

The deviation with the assault rifles beyond 100 meters is just ridiculous and nowhere near reality in my opinion. I'm a professionel soldier, and have been for quite some years now, and I can effectively hit anything up to 500 meters with an assault rifle. However in PR I can aim 4 seconds or more on a guy lying prone 187 meters away and miss him several times. Being prone, lying still and aiming at the same spot for 4 seconds with proper breathing techniques in real life there is no way in hell I would miss anything closer than 200 meters.

Deviation is fine, IMO. PR or BF2 engine in general does not have means for separately simulating all the factors that effect person's ability to hit targets in real life, like fatigue, weapon mass, weapon sway, weather condidions, time of the day, weapon zeroing, adjustable sights, personal experience, visual capacity, etc. etc. So all these have to be combined into a single variable we know as a deviaton. Game play/balance have to be taken into consideration too. Not every shot count as a kill, even in real life.

maybe you should realise that this lack of accuracy everybody seem to be complaining about is carefully thought out by the devs, their goal is to create realistism, and longer firefights than bf2 standard is realistic
also, if you can't trust yourself to kill every bad guy, maybe you'll stop running around and stick with your squad

I myself love the deviation right now, not too long or too short. And remember if hes any closer you dont have to wait 4 seconds

PEBKAC im afraid.

The deviation is far improved from what it has been in previous versions and if you really have been playing PR for 3 years then you'll remember v0.8 where the deviation was absolutely massive. If you found that worse than the current set up then I don't know what to say....

I dont know why everyone is complaining i love the deviation now .8x had horrible deviation
now its much more realistic especially because if you press a directional button once it doesn't resets.

you are just going to have to learn to shoot properly in PR
Do you also make accurate shots after running for 15 minutes and are breathing heavily in under 4 seconds
with full gear.

I can hit very accurately i usually kill someone with 2-3 shots (with a scoped weapon).

Just to make sure , unless the target is very far away (200m+) dont go prone. just crouch.
