Sniper Optical Sights (SOS) zeroing makes bullet path unrealistic from weapon
Reviewed, WishlistPublic

Description

Firing any weapon, except the sniper, with the SOS scope attached on a high zeroing value (1000+) will make the bullet spawn in air and not in the bullet chamber...

Above 1000 meters of zeroing you will see a noticeable difference.

See attached screenshot for an example shot against a wall.

I always thought that zeroing in ArmA is implemented not by angle-ing the scope axis but in some other cheating way, and now we have the answer :)

yeah its like this for all weapon/sight combinations, its just not as noticeable with other sights. It'd be so much more realistic if there was a red orchestra style zeroing, where all it does is manipulate your sights in such a way that forces you to increase the rifle angle in order to place the sights on your target.

This also happens when you put on a silencer on some weapons.
