I logged in and applied a morphine and a splint, went prone, and held my breath using a key separate from my zoom button, and the sway did slow down a little for a VERY short time but it's still no where close to what it used to be or even close to being realistic.
I'm a prior service U.S. Army sniper and competition rifle shooter and i can tell you from real life experience that the sway, either with or without a scope, is still not even close to being realistic, especially after running (which is the worst).
Now, if the devs are doing this to add a challenge to the game for those who like to snipe, I'll accept that. However, if the devs are trying to make shooting more realistic and as close to real life as possible, then they need to adjust the sighting quite a bit.
Thanks again!!
