[Reforger Bug:] When prone on sloping ground, gun is held at the same angle, breaking usability of the scope.
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

When prone, the gun is held at an angle parallel with the ground, which messes up aim and zeroing. A trained soldier would never do this, as it messes up the zeroing of the gun, particularly when using scoped weapons [with 3d reticles] at longer ranges.
The same also applies when standing and leaning, the gun is held at an angle, although this is less of a problem as this is usually done at short ranges, where there is less error.

This has been an issue for a long time, and breaks the useablity of sniper weapons at long ranges, as it becomes impossible to aim accurately.

Update. If you have a bipod and deploy it, then it corrects the error. However that only works with a bipod, the problem remains otherwise.

Example of problem on sloping ground.

Do you please have a video of the problem with detailed description?

Video take on Arland, near the SW lighthouse, but can be reproduced anywhere on non-level ground. This was EX 1.3 but same occurs in the main release as well. No mods.

  • When prone, the gun is held parallel to the ground, when it should be held upright. A trained soldier does not hold the gun at an angle as it would screw up the ranging/zeroing
  • If you rotate while prone, the gun tilts over at various angles.
  • If you deploy a bipod while prone it corrects this error.
  • If you crouch/stand up the error goes away.
