VSSM: Recoil applies actually BEFORE your shot
Topic. How to replicate / Test:
Use the VSSM with the standard Unstoppable Force Build: small angled 25 point grip and 4x Scope, and aim at the top of the practice targets, at the upper ledge. Your shots will actually go OVER the target. Or aim at the neck, you will get a headshot.
The recoil actually applies BEFORE your bullet leaves your barrel.
I am gonna test other weapons now, maybe it just a problem with the slow bullet velocity of the VSSM. At least I would hope so!
EDIT: Tested some other DMRs and weapons, also with the 4x scope, i had no problem hitting the upper edge of the testing range targets. Seems to be a problem with the VSSM only.
EDIT2: Now that I tested it more and got some actual comparisons with some shots on a door, where the VSSM fires at least 5 cm above avery weapon I tested and I thought more about it, it may actually be because of the slow bullet velocity. The gun is zeroed at 100 meters, and has much much more dropoff than any other DMR or sniper in the game. So when you shoot at target dummies that are like 40 or 50m away your shot will go over the target because of the 100m zeroing.
Zeroed the weapon at 500m for fun in the shooting range and tried to hit targets... the shots actually hit the ceiling of the range lol...
Tell me, am I tripping?
