Spacebar scanning

[cr0wn3r]

Im not sure if that's right? I was on KH last night and cross hairs were turned off, but the space bar thing was still working.

[{BDR}*Nemesi*]

this can be remedied by having the server admin turn off crossshairs tbh..whats all of this moaning im hearing? lmao

No I have the crosshair off

Anyone at BIS can give a comment here?

I see Le_CuLtO solution, nice tweak, but still a tweak

How we can think about serious competitions with that scanning enabled?

@cr0wn3r

how do I decide whether to shoot or not if I can not use the space bar to check? On a PC screen at 500m one gun toting silloette in the grass looks pretty much like any other. ..

like in real too, that's why arma2 is a sim not just a shooter

Just bumping this up since I think it's a key factor to be fixed in MP.

Kju, you got any news on your addon mate?

[.kju [PvPscene]]

Well the scripted solution does the job just fine or not?
Addon is tricky for public play and even in general not simple to enforce for all.

FWIW, my scriptpack disables this through scripting though I agree it would be far nicer to have a proper solution built into the game.

Hi Overwatch

Laser Range finder is already in game.

Kind Regards walker

No, no it isn't. There is no handheld laser rangefinder for infantry units in basic ArmA 2. You're SOL unless you're using an eastern rifle with the rangefinder diagram on the scope, and that's not even all that accurate since the scale doesn't seem to be perfect. US units with mildot scopes have no way of determining a target's range aside from the aforementioned spacebar method.

Please do some research before spouting off crap like this.

I cannot believe how incredibly stupid you are. I mean rock-hard stupid. Dehydrated-rock-hard stupid. Stupid so stupid that it goes way beyond the stupid we know into a whole different dimension of stupid. You are trans-stupid stupid. Meta-stupid. Stupid collapsed on itself so far that even the neutrons have collapsed. Stupid gotten so dense that no intellect can escape. Singularity stupid. Blazing hot mid-day sun on Mercury stupid. You emit more stupid in one second than our entire galaxy emits in a year. Quasar stupid. Your writing has to be a troll. Nothing in our universe can really be this stupid. Perhaps this is some primordial fragment from the original big bang of stupid. Some pure essence of a stupid so uncontaminated by anything else as to be beyond the laws of physics that we know. Mil-dot reticles are designed for range finding using the formula "(size of target / number of mil of dots) * 1000 = distance" you stupid fuck. If the target is 3 mils high in the scope and is 1.8m tall, (1.8/3) * 1000 = 600. The distance to the target is 600m, did you understand that stupid fuck? I'm sorry. I can't go on. This is an epiphany of stupid for me. After this, you may not hear from me again for a while. I don't have enough strength left to deride your ignorant questions and half baked comments about unimportant trivia, or any of the rest of this drivel. Duh.

Please do some research before spouting off crap like this.

[[DirTyDeeDs]-Ziggy-]

I love that stupid paragraph.

[Fincuan]

Hehe... Any comments from the same poster on how the stock mildot reticles aren't in scale? Kind of makes rangefinding with them a bit harder

[Foxhound]

How do you know how tall the guy you want to shoot is from 600 meters? Just guessing? I really would not be able to tell if someone is 1.8 meters or 1.6 meters high from 600 meters distance.
