I was slightly bored today, so I go in a pub, spawn as MEC, and decide to go pistol sniping.
Well, what I did was I took a screenshot (800x600), drew the line at 400x600 and 800x300 in order to assure perfect middle, and then simply saved it. Now, how could there be an inaccuracy?Stags wrote:
Seems insignificant to me. Although it is conforting to know that they are slightly off and that I'm not going insane. Being that much off only really factorys in at range. BTW, seems that the true center is to the right of the scope in each picture.
I want to see another person do the same thing, just to make sure it isn't any inaccuracy in the ruler or pixels.
I'll back up that sticky! Great work!gene_pool wrote:

At least to me it is that way.Shadow893 wrote:
Wow, interesting stuff. So eoth the L96A1 you should aim one pixel to the left to make it true center?

In the L96A scope picture you can see that the added colored vertical line(the true center) is one pixel off to the right.
Now if you use your scope as center and trust that it is zeroed in accurately you will to miss headshots on ranges where the target's head has the size of one pixel(->the bullet will pass him on the right side of the head.)
But if you compensate by positioning your visible scope one pixel to the left you'll be dead-on,although it looks like the bullet would pass him on the left side of the head.
Maybe dont_be_ss can confirm this,he almost makes a dead-on headshot every time(try to have a duel with this guy,really sucks.. ).
Yeah,I read your post.lord_tyler_486 wrote:

I apologize, I wanted to say that the M95 appears to has the least, not the most.... My brain was already at the explanation for the post, because it's not easy make it simple to understand what I have to say.Mj.Blindfisch wrote:
The pictures of your version would make the M95 have even less bulletdrop than the original poster's version.This kinda contradicts itself with your statement that the M95 appears to have the most bulletdrop.
You can place one of the 4 pixels surrounding the center on the pixel where the head is and hope that the deviation makes it hit.How can you aim at longrange if the actual center is between two pixels and the target has the size of a pixel?
I know "I can do it",but I know of the horizontal misplacement and place the scope one pixel to the left.
Yes.Is that even possible in a game to aim at a point which is between two pixels?
No, the Screen is not the "aiming grid". You look in a direction. Then the CPU calculates where the center is and what to send to the GFX Card. And THEN the actual screen is being constructed by the Graphics Card. That's also why sometimes the crosshairs are a pixel thicker in certain positions and view directions.Doesn't sound logical to me,the monitor resolution is also the resolution of your "aiming grid"(you always move one pixel with your mouse,right?),so it's impossible to aim between two pixels.
Why should it be between mine and the other version? It's exactly where I have it in my version, the explanation above shows why. That's also the reason why DICE tried to use 2 pixels wide lines for the horizontal bars in snipe scopes [M24/M95/L96]. To make it as neutral as possible. To disable horizontal misplacement. The vertical lines are not so important because there is bullet drop and this hushes the vertical misplacement.You just added another row of pixels,which doesn't make your version more accurate if you can actually aim between pixels,the correct center would be exactly between your and the other version.
Depends on how far it's away.Do you know how many pixels thick the actual bullet is?

Simply because I get headshots with the L96/M24 when I aim one pixel to the left.lord_tyler_486 wrote:

So it actually changes caliber during flight? 7.62mm stays 7.62mm,no matter how far away it is,right?Do you know how many pixels thick the actual bullet is?

12/8, thats the same ratio as 1024/768, thus no problem with scaling down for this explanation.
