Grenade Launcher Range and Sight Markings

[ChocolateDipIceCreamConeWorld]

Right now it seems like the sight for the grenade launchers are absolutely and entirely useless. While for example, the sight on the G36's launcher is marked for 150m, if you stand 150m away from a point and fire in the direction, the greande will fall short by about 125 meters. The grenade launchers are either far too underpowered and need to have better ranges or need to have much better and more accurate and clear sight markings.

I am unsure as to whether there is any intent to add adjustable sights for the launchers, but whether there are or not, can we please at least get accurate readings so that they can be used more efficiently instead of just aiming into the air judging by raw estimate and firing? I feel personally that they should be set for maybe 100m or 150m and their sights adjusted accordingly so that we can actually use them for longer range. If not, have the sights adjusted properly to whatever range they really are at.

To me it seems that all the GLs are actually zeroed at less than 100m, somewhere in the 50-75m range granted you're at the same elevation as your target. I've gotten pretty good at judging the arc to land it where I want, but the sights definitely don't line up for 100m+.

They really have to fix this issue or make the sights able to be ranged in.

You don't really need adjustable sights in this game. You can easily estimate the trajectory if you have some experience.

I know. I'm just saying that it would make it more immersive and authentic.

I would go and request not just ordinary 50-350m distance-adjustable sights for underbarrel grenade launchers but also the new type of sight with additional feature - indirect fire - to enable reasonable accurate indirect fire - launching explosive/smoke shells in high-arcing ballistic trajectories enabled by the Unreal engine. Exactly like mortars. It is possible to use indirect fire in game right now, but there is now no way to aim at all.
See the TechSolution's M203 Grenade Launcher Indirect Fire Sight (IFS) for details.

So funny side story, I carried a 203 on my M4 IRL and never got issued sights for it for some reason or another. Took some playing with but I could put rounds through silhouettes consistantly at 150-200 yards. I remember my XO giving me ♥♥♥♥ for missing the first round on a range (not like we got cheeto rounds all the time) and then every round after through the targets. He laughed his ass of when I told him I havent had sights for over a year, still never got them lol. So, from an American perspective, having useless sights is pretty immersive for me.

Nope, the day I turned it back in, the armorer was confused as hell.

Good idea
