When in any standing or crouching combat stance, the rifle is held way too high above the shoulder and some stocks (MX rifles etc) will almost clip into the characters head.

Any optics are also also way above the eye(s) of the character.

This looks and feels very awkward and unrealistic.

Even the Arma 2 default animations were slightly better in this regard, the rifles would be held slightly lower.

This was even more improved by the later A2 SMK animation addon/mod where the rifle was even lower and seemed to be properly pressed against the chest. {F22185} {F22186}
