  • I personally find the "slat" type rear sights to be very hard to center, I saw in another reply you said you're okay with the 'open top' rearsights as they are but to me, stuff like the mosin, AKs, gornostay, etc. have near solid rear sights and it only ever even remotely becomes usable when zoomed in via FOVfix.


    I'm not asking for too big a change like it is with this mod, just widening them to fit the front post with enough clearance to allow a bit of light bleed, without the two sights overlapping when sitting completely still would do wonders.


    Could even just make them taper outwards so its easier to see the center when looking at the rear sight alone, like an upside down triangle.


    like absolute worst case, if you really don't want to edit the models, maybe at least we could get some markings in the middle of the rear sights similar to (but pls not as ugly as) those yellow dot mods for the AK sights but universal..


    I really wanna be able to do more naked gun builds in the game but the iron sights really ruin it for me for 90% of the guns, your work on these 'circular sight' guns are already amazing, I doubt you'd mess it up with the others.

    • i was thinking about giving a makeover to the worst offenders the other day (akmp, mosin for example) but i feel like if i do some of them i would have to do all of them. i could take a gander at it on the weekend but i dont want to make false promises

    • Excuse me I couldn't check for a while, I don't mod often anymore as I've been waiting for version 3.10 but thank you so very much taking a look at it, I'm very excited to check this new version out!

  • Will there be conflicts with weapons from mods?

    • most likely not

    • Thanks for the answer

  • Love the mod, one thing I'd love to see is a better/thinner UMP iron sight

    • ive held off on updating the "open top" rear sights because i think theyre fine for the most part and if i were to update them i think they would look a little off. but i could take a little look at them in the future potentially

  • idk why but the iron sights does not seem to be aligned properly?

    Yes im not a good player, but even aiming a dead still target dead center pretty close up, the bullet seems to go way above the iron sights. Not sure if a conflicting issue.
