really weird! I hardly ever drive the M-4(points), but when I do I make more 1 shot kills....maybe my brain is off center the same amount as the M-4 sight...?  :aok  :rofl

WW ... I just got done deleting all my settings for the M4 / M8 / Panzer / Tiger.

I then re-did all my views offline. I then spawned each vehicle on the base (each spawning in the exact same spot) and picked a spot (bush) to shoot at and get the range at which I hit it dead on. I then went to each of the vehicles, picked the same bush at the same distance marker and ALL of them hit it spot on ... so I am not sure there is anything wrong with the distance scaling of the M4.

What range was the bush at? I've noticed that the M4 seems to dead center or close to it upto around whatever the hell that 12 or 13 mark indicates. Past that, it starts to get off by more and more, and starts hitting to the right just a bit. When I'm fighting at stand off ranges (out past the 32 mark, I'm aiming left so its about a pointer (the little mouse thing) or two's width to the right of center.

yea you need to shot out at a pretty good range to check, all my shots would be out of view if you were not zoomed all the way in and f-8 to go down the scale

That sounds like the shell is just heavy then. If you use F8 then you aren't using the original distances, you are probably shooting about 5k.

no , that shot is about 3 k out,,, the weight of the shell would have nothing to do with the distance the rangefinder views, all the other tanks hit at the same rangefinder location, even tho the weight of there shells vary, as does there velocity. the range finder is not correct, drive out 3 k from the field in offline mode and fire back at the tanks on the field if you like, maybe then you will understand, or i can post some more pictures.
