2 or more keys for holding breath stop any movement
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

If you bind 2 or 3 (or even more) keys for holding breath and use them simultaneously, your character dosen't make any "micro-movement", so shooting becomes much easier.
This gives a great advantage to players using this technique, especially if they are sniping.
As DayZ is and should be pretty "realistic" this should be fixed, even to prevent fairness.

Steps To Reproduce
  1. Bind 2 or more keys to hold breath (i.e. right mouse + m and/or n on your keyboard).
  2. Use any scope on any weapon and press the three keys simultaneously.
  3. Notice your scope isn't moving, so shooting, especially sniping, becomes much easier.
  4. Test this twice after running and getting breathless. It still works.
  5. Notice even the "white dot" stands still using this technique. So basically the key combination affects the whole "character-micromovement".
