Arma 3 ACE3 - Basic Sniping Tutorial

[@archangeldeltius1511]

I wanted a quick refresher so I can start practising for a marksman role in my unit. Great video, quick and precise. Something I'll add for people using modded weapons, make sure you have the correct ammo type selected, e.g there is an ammo type called 7.62 M993 AP, if you are using it, you need to go into the gun info, show list and select 7.62 M933. It's really important to note the ammo being used for this reason, you can also add an ammo type but it's much more advanced.

thanks man! i probably won't be updating the video for a while since my unit doesn't really use sniping much but i'll leave it pinned for people to see. thanks for the help!

Dude sits here explaining the best he can to use these little tools to get a good shot then is off by an inch, God bless snipers

[@jenjo0o]

haha thanks man, I try

Good tutoriel but there is some mistakes. ACE3 has two ballistics : the vanilla default ballistic (enabled as default) and the advanced ballistics (must be enabled with OPTIONS/ADDON OPTIONS). AtragMx Cor and Spin = 0.0 mean the advanced ballistics are disabled and you are using the vanilla ballistic which doesn't take atmospheric parameters, Coriolis, Spin Drift and Eötvös effects into account (for example, with the vanilla Arma 3, the temperature is useless when shooting). In this case, a range card is enough. If you absolutely want to use the AtragMx with the default ballistic, the MV (Gun column) must be the same as the range card (820 m/s with the 12.7x108 and the Lynx), the Atmsphr column as default and WS 2.4 (not 2 alone).

Anyone who is watching this video needs to see this comment, it’s important that you’re aware of this and I didn’t even know

[@johnrichardson1625]

Calculates the world for a shot lol, good tutorial

[@Nokknokkopenup]

Thx for actually explaining Keybinds

[@60secassassin86]

Nice tutorial, I am having issues with adjusting for wind direction. My AtragMx always gives me the wrong value. For example, there is a 5o'clock wind and it tells me to adjust Left??

[@jenjo0o]

At 2:13 in the video I think that’s explained but again remember when inputting the wind into the AtragMX you put the wind as opposite of the wind you see in the top left, it computes wind values as where the wind is coming from, not where the wind is going to, so for example if on your top left you saw the wind was heading to the 1 o’clock, you’d input that value on the Atrag as 7 o’clock. Hope that helps!

Nice video man but where do I install the atrag and stuff or is it already on arma?

[@IdleVoidex]

I’m the type of guy to shoot once then estimate after in my head it’s pretty easy for me to a certain degree only if I know the sniper I’m using

[@Nukozs]

Thanks! Very useful.

[@chilledburrito]

Tellin me I don’t even have to use the range card? Or write things down as much as I have been lol

[@freedomatlanta1669]

Can you show us how to create this by starting from opening the game, where to get kestrel, lrf, ballistics, and how choose scope.

[@ghillie_guys7808]

Open arsenal, go to tools or the bottom one and slap them in a vest or your uniform.

[@Richie_]

How do you bring up the equipment list?

[@RodrigoRodriguezowl]

oh man in comparison to arma 2 where you had to do a lot of math to get all the data now its so simple in arma 3

[@Nikodem_Grochowski]

Hey did you use any other mod? Or only ace3

[@jenjo0o]

Only ace3, however this is quite an old tutorial, may not be super accurate.

[@Nikodem_Grochowski]

@@jenjo0o ok thanks

[@Nikodem_Grochowski]

@@jenjo0o and quick question how do i obtein those items you showed in the video. In arma 3 editor

[@chrischristensen7410]

hey bro, i'm struggling with using modded snipers and inputting the rifle data could you give me a hand

[@crusher531]

I spent 5 min wondering why it was not working to only realize that the rounds that came in the gun were not the same ones that I chose separately LMAO

[@daidai8760]

I would rather do math, thank you very much
