Parachuteprone Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 When looking through Binoculars the view will snap back to a particular direction after a few seconds. Is this a "Flinch" due to incoming fire ? Is there a way to disable it ? Its a bit of a distraction when trying to designate targets and your view keeps snapping away from your intended target.

Members Ssnake Posted November 21, 2016 Members Share Posted November 21, 2016 It "shouldn't" happen, but, well, sometimes the infantry does what it wants. It could be the urge to reposition. It could be a periodic shakedown of the firing positions, which, at least as far as I remember it from team sessions, is necessary when taking positions inside of buildings at least. But that shakedown doesn't happen all the time, as your description suggests. Can you describe a bit more in detail what you're doing and what the tactical situation is when you observe it, so that we can recreate the situation in our tests? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parachuteprone Posted November 21, 2016 Author Share Posted November 21, 2016 (edited) I have two Squads in a building being assaulted by enemy infantry. Farther behind in fairly open terrain I have a sniper team. I am in the squad leader position of the sniper team and am looking through binoculars identifying targets using "shoot at unit". You cannot move your "shoot at unit" arrow outside your current view so I move the crosshairs to the direction I want to designate, click "shoot at unit" but sometimes before I can click on the unit I want to identify/engage the crosshair snaps back to another direction and I can no longer see the unit I wanted to designate. Hope that makes sense. I've seen a similar happen with regular squads as well when under fire. Actually doesn't happen when firing dies down so has to be the unit reacting to incoming fire. In fact if you forget about the target designation part and simply move your binocular crosshairs in a direction other than where you are facing it will snap back in seconds when there is any firing going on.

TSe419E Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 I have had this happen when viewing from a tank's TC position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the infantry I believe it is related to them 'digging in', and their position becoming lower to the ground. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted November 21, 2016 Members Share Posted November 21, 2016 Possible, but that should happen only once after you move them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
