Is weapon sway OP/broken?
I'm finding this to become an extreme problem with whatever the hell is wrong with the weapon sway on this game,

You move 2 feet and look somewhere and your dude swings his weapon around like hes carrying a 50cal with one hand. Its so annoying when it takes 10seconds to line up a shot.

And dont give me that "Oh you're injured or tired, hes a real human being you know. because that makes it 10X worse.

I hope to God they fix this in the Marksmen update.

Deal with it! It isn't going away anytime soon. Of course, you can chimp it away with a mod like all the other things you'll probably not like as well, but then I'd have to ask why you'd even be bothering with ArmA? Surely one of the other franchises would suit your arcade shooter needs better.

Yes, the weapon sway is a little dramatic. However, it's something you get used to. Just make sure you aren't over burderning your character and springting or jogging for any amount of time without a break will obviously cause you to be out of breath. Just take more thougt when you move and with what you bring. This isn't a run in and kill all the guys game.

Actually guys, nevermind I just figured it out.

Its not the fact that the game is laggy or buggy it just doesnt want you to play without a 1:1 aiming scale, by this i mean using the deadzone.

Having the deadzone on 0, (so it will handle like a conventional fps) means when you move you weapon to aim your character your character is physically turning his entire body with the gun, this applies to all the stances. and means that when you try to move you are swinging your weapon, then ArmA 3 takes over.....

Best fix is to try enabling deadzone or holding alt while aiming the difference is night and day you can swing the crap out of your aim and it wont change.

I like how he tries to play ArmA 3 like CoD but the game doesn't let him.

I like how you try to defend something so ridiculous like this but...

The problem here is that some people resist to adapt their playstyle. If something doesn't work it's always someone else mistake and never their own. This guy could have learned from his poor performance but instead he uploads a video that makes him look like a fool. Well done.

Is this true? Are you telling me, you can fix that weapon sway by setting the "deadzone" to 0?

No, having the deadzone IS the problem, try holding alt to look around while aiming from now on, or turn up your deadzone. Read my comment again if you didnt understand anything or i said something confusing

Listen the Aiming is unrealistic ok. The human body has more control than that, U have to really be jacked up to not be able to focus for a second to take the shot.

AGREED, arma 3 shooting sucks/is broken. Lets just hope marksmen DLC fixes it.
