LMG Gunsights

[khamsin]

Appears to be a bit of a bug in the implementation of LMG gunsights.

Anyone who has fired a real LMG knows that you pull the butt into your shoulder, and your eyes automatically align down the sights.

With the current LMG implementation, the butt seems to be independent of your shoulder ... so you have to deploy the gun dead level .... have the barrel a little high or low and your gunsight is misaligned accordingly. May not seem like a lot, but if you have a prone ei the difference can be measured in several feet.

Most noticeable on the French LMG as it has the largest front sight pin and therefore the misalignment is magnified accordingly.

Actually, that is SOP for all WWIIOL smallarms. The butt of a supposedly shouldered is not actually shouldered and the butt moves independently of the shoulder. This is most noticable with shouldered rifles after the 'wobble' effect has been allowed time to propoagate.
