Bow wind drift

[sneakybass]

Hi I shoot a bow In this game and In real life but the arrow drift when the wind kicks up Is way to much very unrealistic I shoot a PSE carbon air with victory vap elite 166 mm arrows at eighty yards at 15 miles an hour wind drift left or right I get a 8 inch drift or less in real life. In this game I get a 4 foot drift Im asking If the game makers can check out wind drift on bows and maybe correct It, I love this game I have shot and killed animals with a bow In this game out to 185.00 yards and lots of 120 yard shots.....love this game

I love bow hunting. I get 40.000 skills points in bows at this moment. I hope they fix the effect of the wind on the arrows.

so its 8 inch = 20cm in 80 yards = 73m @ 15miles/h = 24km/h = 6.67m/s in real life

20cm shift in 73m @ 6.67m/s windage

but now it seems like about 6m shift in 60m @ 6m/s windage-.-

+N for bow hunter
need fix!

In a little less than 2 weeks a new map based on arctic zones will be offered. Similar to the one in "The hunter classic".
In that map there will be frequent winds that prevent hunting with arches to those who only want that type of hunting? From the beginning of this game, the arrows are strongly influenced by wind deflection. Absurd forces that do not correspond to reality and that diminish the experience of hunting with bow. Please arrange this effect so that you can evaluate the acquisition of a map in which there will SAFELY be a very frequent presence of wind.

I really love this game, but most of the bow hunting is lousy designed nowadays. Badly calibrated arches. Unmatched wind effects. The impossibility of hunting with an arc at the beginning of the game (it is necessary to kill many animals with rifles in order to obtain the money to buy the basic arc. Why don't they also give away the basic bow for those of us who only want to hunt with that weapon? ).

Bow hunter

I shoot a bow In real life where wind drift at 80 yards is about 9 inches with a 15 mile an hour wind right to left but In this game Its like 6 feet, I shoot over a hundred yards all the time longest Is 185 yards. Arrows now and with these new bows don't drift all that far in real life, compared to this game, Im just asking to check wind drift settings on arrows and maybe reset wind drift settings nothing more. Disappointing to see a arrow hit 25 feet left or right at 110 yards please look into this , are there any other bow hunters feel that way ? Please respond

Please stick with one thread. Posting your issue multiple times, in multiple places will not solve it any faster and in fact makes it harder for people to respond and follow along with the discussion. Thank you.

I'm bow hunting 90% of the time now. Love it.. Agree with the need for improving accuracy and wind affects for bows!

I am bow hunter, the arrow drift is too much to use bow @ over 3.5m/s windage
and the drift is x2 Increment by distance

BTW,I tho dev should use reload hotkey "R" for arrow switch from 300/420/600 and so on

Video example of wind drift. All shots take at 25.77 meters.

Oh, by the way. I would like a game manager to indicate the official distances that correspond to each type of bow viewfinder.

3 pins?
5 pins?

Another question: Why is it that when we have 600g arrows in the load animation it shows us an arrow with green feathers (same as 420). Why even today they still don't show the right color, or at least an indication with the number somewhere on the screen?

Another question that I long for an official answer: The effect the 420g arrow thrown with the 70 lb. bow at less than 26 meters is the intended effect or this deviation showing the video shows an unwanted effect? In real life, an arrow thrown at a 26-metre target is deflected 1m laterally with winds of 10 metres per second?

Please, once again, finally dedicate a little attention to those of us who want to enjoy bow hunting. Pay attention to these details that have been present in the game since the beginning.

Oh, by the way. It would be great if the basic bow were free to start for those of us who want to restart the game and use only this kind of weapons.

Thanks guys for replying Im trying not to complain I just hope they can look Into It thats all and give us a response, and don't needle me about a extra thread..........

Bows need a big fix. I hoped by now it would be fixed but still nothing. the wind drift and accuracy in general is ridiculous/unrealistic. I bow hunt in real life and use a recurve bow which is more limiting than compounds but i can still accurately make shots out to 40-45 yards all day but in the game a 15 yard shot with a compound is not guaranteed. when I'm that close and put the pin behind the animals shoulder and end up hitting it in the backleg is just frustarting. I want to use bows in game but am just detered because of how broken their mechanics are

The wind drift really does need work. I haven't updated my bow kills spreadsheet lately, but last time I looked my average range was around 22-23 yards.I have pulled off a 76.89yd kill but it was sheer dumb luck to have landed it.
