Moving & reloading

[Apocalypse81]

Ok i searched for this and could not find it so here it goes:

I have an issue with reloading whilst prone, while crawling my troops arms are animated showing that im using them to crawl...realistic and valid.

Is it not then silly that if i hit 'R' i can start reloading my rifle and continue moving! It offers an advantage that is somewhat unrealistic. Running & reloading maybe...but not crawling. I think it should be disbaled unless stationary.

I know this is maybe petty, but in a game that impresses for realism it might be a consideration.

What does everyone think?

 

[myzko]

I agree on this.

 

[Yoshiro]

Moved to suggestions.

 

[kempe]

yeah, especialy with the bolt action sniper rifles where single rounds are loaded. its hard enough doing it at a slow walk in real life...

 

[CaptRanger]

You should either have to stop moving or the speed of the crawl should be greatly reduced since you'd only be using your legs. It's not a really high priority in my eyes, though, because it doesn't offer that much of an advantage to people in most situations. That said, I hope to see this worked on in updates a bit down the road!

 

[D3terioNation]

What about crawling while in IS?

 

[PGD03]

Yeah. You can crawl while your weapon up in front of you but no way you can keep sights aligned.

 

[myzko]

What about crawling while in IS?

Well, it's VERY slow..

 

[D3terioNation]

Ummm that wasnt the point...

 

[-=anders=-]

I know how angry I was in the mod, when I got shot while reloading in prone position... So whatever you do dont change it back... THere's so much other changes in realism way, that's better to focus on..

I do feel it would be more realistic to disable crawling and reloading but only when your using the bolt-action rifles. You can still crawl while you have your IS up but there would be alot of sway movement on the sight, in RO it stays very static.

 

[Oi!Oi!Oi!]

What about crawling while in IS?

It is quite possible to crawl while aiming with a weapon, but the IS should not remain stable like it is in the game right now.

 

[fOgGy]

Moving and reloading with the semi-auto rifles, smg's and pistols is quite possible but you would move at a much slower pace and the reloading time would be reduced too, there would also be a different kind of animation for it unlike when crouched or standing.

 

[Comrade Wasabi]

Perhaps making it possibly, but making the movement as slow as when crawling in IS. You would only be able to use your legs to propel you.

 

[Murphy]

I'd like to see that moving while reloading while prone disabled too.

Maybe if you reload while you are prone and you need to move your characer automatically goes the crouched stance and moves then. But disabling the possibility to move while reloading while prone would be enough too.

Not the movement while in IS-mode though. Its anoying if you have o take down your sights and take them back up just to move a few inches left or right to be able to look around cover or something. Moving with IS in prone should be connected with huge sway but it should be possible in any case, even if it stays as unrealistic as it now. Its better than not being able to do so.

 

[LukeFF]

Agreed. Reloading while low-crawling is highly unrealistic. Either it needs to be disabled or given a huge penalty, a la moving in iron sights while prone.

 

[[5thW]Rehakles[TRO]]

It offers an advantage that is somewhat unrealistic.

It might not be ultra-realistic, but I believe it doesnt create any kind of unfair advantage coz everybody can use it...

Its good the way it is, as mentioned above, crawling with IS up is very slooooow

 

[Oldih]

Practically if you want to have realism with lying down and reloading, when you reload you should be "frozen" and unable to do anything but reload by the time it is done.

Sure it is not impossible to reload pistol or other "small" weapon like that while crawling, but with some larger weapon from SMG to a rifle, how on earth you would keep yourself steady, gun steady, the stripper clip\magazine steady while you kick your feet in order to move.

Yeah. You can crawl while your weapon up in front of you but no way you can keep sights aligned.

I have tried this myself and with SMG which does not have "long" magazine it is possible to keep quite steady while crawling, but any rifle, assault rifle or any larger weapon it is quite hard.

Besides, the crawling with IS on is very very slow so there is no real need to change it.

Oh, and "for sake of realism", SMGs with "long" stick magazines (MP40, 41, PPS43 and such) should have disadvatange while firing prone. But everyone knows why it is not implemented

Agreed. It was very frustrating in the mod. At least make it so moving while prone and reloads interupts the reload and moves you. Being locked to the one spot and being unable to do anything but throw the gun down is hardly realistic.
