Default Are there any plans...

....to allow the use of iron sights or cross hairs when firing from the "dug in" position?

The authentic mode is quite (very?) infuriating with no cross hairs or iron sight...you are basically shooting blind.

And I "mean" infuriating...not hard (as I know authentic mode is meant to be)

Thx

Hey, there is no such thing as TP crosshair, so just pop out of tp and use inronsight then.

I have no idea what you mean by TP (total protection?)

But I think I get your point, and I suppose it's a fair one.

Yeah when I first started on authentic and noticed no dig in crosshair I thort "Ahh sorted, this could be of interest". Its hard with the garand and carbine but not so much with the tommy.
...but it wasn't so bad in the end, like m8y said there, just pop out and use ironsights. Also I used my teams a bit more, especially the last propper missinon where you gotta take out them 88s.

I went through 90% of authentic using just my squads to kill them. But thats impossible in the missions where your alone.


so its doable, but you tend to lose team mates pretty often that way

This part of the game is flawed not to metion the other facts concerning the entire game. There just has to be a patch to fix it though.

There's a multitude of things you could do. If you are in great need of a shot, just don't go into third person cover and aim down the sights to take him out quickly. You could also adjust your shots from third person by the tracers from your rifle. I can pull off long range shots with the Garand with no third person cross hair just by using the tracers. Then there's my favorite solution. You could just use your squads to take out the enemy and use third person firing as a method solely for suppressing(which is what TP cover was intended for anyway).

Now I don't mean to insult you by this, but I think your strategies in game are at fault here, not the system.

I have always thought that it is hard to shoot from the dug in position in authentic. I didnt hate it though, i loved it. It made me use my squads more. Randy is right when he says you can beat the game without shooting a round.
