    Awesome! We may finally be able to play Arma on mobile. Who needs mods when you can get lootboxes? The ugly Bi launcher and steam workshop are also rubbish compared to EPIC Launcher. Finally our private data is furthermore stored safely by chinese government. Maybe if we play good enough, the chinese will spare us after taking over the world.

  • Off Topic

    Actually my intension was not to start a discussion about scope magnification and the usage of such sights in ArmA. Within arma itself i see it like Pilgrim and prefer a good iron sight. I just wanted to bust the myth that firearms, specially AR-15 style weapons, come by default with iron sights. Therfore those weapons often have those horrible "emergency sights". Those are simply awful.

  • Off Topic

    I hear often people complaining about the usage of sights in arma. I'd like to explain certain things, many may not know. I am active within the shooting community, so i fired many of those guns in reality you see in video games. I may say, i know quite a bit about firearms. Within the past few years there was quite a shift away from iron sights to attached sights, mostly attached trough picatinny or other modern standart rail systems. The old fashioned ironsight, which is still in use in many military forces, is slowly going. Modern firearms come often by default without any reliable iron sight and just with a so called 'emergency sight' (HK 417, SIG 716 Series etc.). The emergency sight is - as the name suggests - just your last resort, if your attached sight fails. It is not fixed in any way nor provide a decend overview, it is made for situations where you can't use your mounted sight or it just fails. The slow decline of iron sights has good reasons, as they are less versatile then modern attached sights, perform worse and shooters hit overall less with them. Also of course there is a financial standpoint for gun manifacturing companies to sell their specific parts with their weapon systems. Therefore it simply is incorrect to assume, modern systems are build with iron sight, while attached sights are a option. It is rather the other way around, as iron sights become a optional component. Of course many standard sights are without any zoom levels or just set to a default one (often 4x), yet those solution are becoming standart, while the iron sight lose its place.

  • Clan Videos

    this awesome video explains a lot. beeing with pig at that time, we had no clue what was going on with infantry. I thought the GMG was further away. We saw said bunker later and considered it still hostile as we didnt know that you were already there. I guess there are always many perspectives, but you only see whats on your own screen.
