"peeking" while prone

[spe3dyg]

Although it's not that important I have always wanted something were you could just slightly lift your guys head off the ground to see over obstacle immediately in front of you while prone.
For example many times while playing DH I have ran and hid behind dead cows until an MG stops firing but the only way i can try to spot him is by slowly crawling to the side of my cover exposing myself. What it should let you do is "peek" over the cover while not allowing you to use your gun while doing it and as for how to activate this why not pressing both lean keys at once? Ideas?

Not a bad idea at all. The problem is, this game has bullet penetration. Therefore, if you were prone behind a cow to hide from an mg, the bullets would rip through it and kill you.

What if i was laying in a ditch and wanted to simply know if anyone was coming without crawling out of it or standing up? (the ditch is a small artillery shell hole)

True, but why are you assuming there will always be someone who is shooting at you? Sure the cow won't provide any real cover, but it doesn't matter if the enemy doesn't know you are there. A peeking option would be nice.

Would be nice.
Actually makes me wish ArmA 2 had this option so i could look over grass when prone. Right now you're blind as a bat when you go down.

Very nice suggestion!

 

[Lustmord]

Like this idea very much.

Good point. As much as I like the idea, it just seems like it would be weird.

no more invincible dead cows in this game

Nice suggestion, I'd really like to see it.

A dead cow laying on it's side has some breadth to it. Don't underestimate the durability of rotting flesh.

 

[Xendance]

Why is everyone talking of cows?

 

[Innociv]

Shouldn't a cow stop MG bullets?.. That is a lot of meat.

 

[Sight]

nice suggestion, love it!

Would be very nice to have

 

[Bennanteno]

I like this. Sort of like leaning form cover but up instead of side to side.

i would rather the peaking be in 3 directions, up, right and left. this will work for walls too. machinegunners often lay at the corner of a building.

I like this suggestion very much !
It would raise the difficulty which is great. It would also produce more cat&mouse situations between opposite 2 soldiers. And last but not least, it is another step towards realism.
