ArmA3 - ACE3 - Long range sniping with advanced ballistics + preperation

You can select "advanced ballistics" in de ACE-options-menu. Than the system is simulating realistic features. For example:
-air pressure, temperature, humidity is affecting drag
-wind affects drag and deflects the trajectory
-Wind speed varies with altitude
-spin drift of the bullet
-even earth rotation does matter
Conclusion:
I love this mod! The advanced ballistics give the sniper a real challenge, it is a huge difference compared without the advanced ballistics and without ACE at all...well ArmA feels like CoD overstate/kidding
This game is great and as a fan since Operation Flashpoint from 2001 I love Bohemia Interactive for not making it a casual game. :-*
FAQ:
Q: You took so long to take the shot, WTF dude!
A: Yes, but this was my first try. Sorry for jumping around with the equipment, I have no routine with this mod at all and my key bindings are not the best.
The video is about showing how the process basically works, not about being effective!
Q: You were aiming at top-right, are you stupid?
A:
1. The ATragMX was saying .02 more than I could adjusting at the scope
2. My target was 13m higher than me and I ignored to setup the really small inclination angle
3. Because my target was 13m higher than me, I was assuming that the wind was blowing stronger at my target as with me and I was not sure if maybe the ammobox affected the measurement of the wind so i added a little buffer.
People don't seem to realize that the measured wind is only a snapshot at the side of the measuring point, but at any point where the projectile passes different conditions can prevail.
Q: What if the target had moved?
A: You would include the movement speed into the calculation, hope that the movement is consistent, not changing it's angle and hope that it doesn't take a path that causes the wind to be influenced elsewhere. However, there is a reason why it is a training target and not a simulated soft target. Again, the video is about showing how the process basically works, not about being effective.

can u explain why you read the wind from 2o clock?

[@joehart6130]

The wind direction is read by where is comes from not where it goes. so if the arrow was pointing to the left it would be 3 o'clock

So I'm still abit confused about sniping belom 500m is fine but going above 500 starting to get confusing the calculator is not accurate, its difficult to judge the wind speed at the next 100 meters.

[@reynaldiwidjaja277]

ah so you got to turn into the wind to find out the true wind speed.

[@BobPrivacy]

@@reynaldiwidjaja277 Yes you have to, because there is a windmill in this device like in the real one.

[@KILLERKEMOProduction]

You don't necessarily have to because it's gauging wind from your position, not the wind speed that's 1600+ meters. You have to look at the mirage for such a reading. However, no game will give you a true sniper perspective.

[@moosehandler9]

So do you have to face the direction of the wind to get the correct wind speed? Also, are the headwind and crosswind values used at all?

[@BobPrivacy]

Yes you have to, because there is a windmill in this device. You only use "wind speed" in this situation. The headwind/crosswind is calculated with the heading in the device itself and is not measured.

It is showing the "felt" wind direction and strength but not accurate. It is a kind of "skin-simulator".

A rhetorical question for sure. But I will try to answer it anyway: You would include the movement speed into the calculation, hope that the movement is consistent, not changing it's angle and hope that it doesn't take a path that causes the wind to be influenced elsewhere. People don't seem to realize that the measured wind is only a snapshot at the side of the measuring point, but at any point where the projectile passes different conditions can prevail.

3 f*cking minutes before shooting ? If it was a moving target you would fail for sure

[@smportis]

That's how long it takes to calculate the elevation and wind age using 3 computers and a chart. Imagine how long using a calculator or just a pencil and paper like in the 60's and 70's.

@@smportis about 60-70's i watched a mil. training film for snipers in russia.
Distance: russians have very intuitive scope measure distance (in scope itself by avg human size), but max range is >1200km and they are inaccurate, with mildot is harder to calculate (and remember) but max range with mildot is up to 1800-2000km and super accurate.
Calculations: There is phenomen (if u has an rifle) called spin drift/gyroscopic drift in a short: bullet is spins, so it will go to right, more distance = more corrections + calculations to the left.
Snipers measure a distance to specifical object and write them to paper, it's easier to calculate and get calculations on elevation (elevation actually will kill ur accuracy if u don't calculate correlation for it)
