Iron Sights, Let's Talk

(hawkeyeguy99) #1

Iron sights are really hit or miss in DB. For instance, some of the weapons have decent to even good sights that can help you aim at a distance (Blishlok, BR-16, K-121 come to mind as good examples) but others are absolute trash and if anything make it harder for you to see what you’re aiming at (M4A1, Granduer, etc.) Given that DB encourages hip fire as well, it makes it almost pointless to try to aim in with these weapons except for very select scenarios. I personally think that all of the weapons should be taken a look at and a decent number of the sights re-worked so be less obtrusive on-screen and allow for better use of the sights in general.

m4 is fine, and graundier is op enough without ironsights, i i get the point and you know what would be funny? the old school zoom without any crosshairs as an option.
Also i dont think that we really need this right now, fix thunder and grandpa first

I stopped relying on iron sight’s shape since using the central dot option.

With secondaries, it’s useful to iron sights while in mid-air, finishing off enemies with greater precision.

BR-16

not really, whole bottom half of the screen becomes hidden with it

Adding sights as an option would fix this problem. Red dot or holographic sights would be nice in my opinion.

I’m used to the obstructive sights because I played Battlefield Bad Company 2 for years. If you didn’t add an ACOG or Red Dot to your weapon, especially the M14 for example, you wouldn’t be able to see a damn thing down the sights. However, I got used to it over time so DB’s crappy sights don’t bother me at all. I can definitely see why some people absolutely hate them though.

K-121

the lead comes out on the red

That’s why I have the Keep dot on sighted thing on. That things works wonders.

if the K121 gets a Holographic or it would wreck people up

currently its not very nice if used for ADS

I don’t think that we should have to resort to horrible ironsights just to balance weapons. There are better ways to do that, that don’t feel cheep as hell.

Moving to weapon feedback.

This thread makes me wonder which are the best and worst iron sights in DB…

TOP 10 worst iron sights anyone? There should be a community vote for that. :wink:

Grandeur and K-121 have awful sights, but let’s be real everyone uses persistent crosshair now so it’s much less of an issue as it used to be.

(OwynTyler) #14

How does persistent crosshair makes iron sights take less space on the screen?

(Szakalot) #15

@Owyn its easier for your eyes to focus on the red dot and the enemy, and try to look ‘behind’ the sights. if you need the sights to aim with, your eyes will need more time as the gun jumps about from the recoil

Talk about worst iron sights… with this crappy baby you literally have to shoot at random cuz it covers the crosshair fully along with enemies behind it:
