Firing from vehicles unfinished?

Recommended Posts

before you keep flaming in such a tone, do us a favor, hop in the sideseat of a Little Bird, with an AI Pilot, tell him to fly circles over an AO with enemy squads and try to hit them. Not only is it close to impossible to spot them on the first overflight, but it also is extremely hard to hit something while traveling sideways.

You're not gonna get FFV-Raped from people in vehicles because even if their aim is stabilizied, it's stabilized to the vehicle, not to their relative firing position, so every little twitch in the helicopter will affect your accuracy, the fast sideways motion will kick your bullet of it's straight ballistic path, your sight's aren't gonna be correctly zeroed - FFV from a littlebird really is nothing but a way to supress your enemies while landing near a hot LZ, or as a way of engaging other targets wildly. Think shooting on a convoy from a LB moving at the same speed than the convoy, or think about firing into the windows of a building you're landing next to, so people in there are forced to get into cover.

You definitely won't snipe anyone from a moving LB. From a perfectly still-standing one, you might have a chance, but then, you are the easyest target ever, to be shot upon, anyways. And for sitting in the back of a Non-moving vehicle, i see no issue in that. At least you are sitting,resting your rifle on the bed of the truck, or on the tubes of the attack boat (although the latter is effected by waves, so no super accuracy either) so you can be accurate there. and as soon as the vehicle is moving, goodbye, accuracy.

Is it me, or when you are in a FFV enabled vehicle, the camera keeps trying to zoom in and out constantly?

What I personally hate is the extreme limitation in all of the vehicles if you got in a FFV-position.

Why can't I turn my charakter 360 degrees on the cargo area of the Offroad/Truck? Am I glued on those things?

The limitation is bad and feels unnatural in most of the vehicles.

There should be another solution. You should be able to even friendly fire your team mates in the same vehicle if you don't take care of your shooting direction (like in the rest of the game).
