Sniper Properties ARMA 2 CO ACE MOD

Hey guys. Here's a video by S6! Acebane showing the Pythagorean theorem at work in the context of arma2(Combined Operations ACE Mod) sniping. Sometimes the information is a bit fast and/or hard to read so feel free to pause it.

This video is mainly to show my Unit, Super Six, that I'm not crazy and this does work! Most of the time the elevation difference between your target and you will not be so ridiculous(if it is, I'd suggest moving to a better shooting position) and this process won't be needed. But it's just beautiful to see the fruits of ARMA 2's ballistics system.

Data:
My Elevation: 2685 Meters
Target Elevation: 2331 Meters
Distance to Target: 1520 Meters

Scope Characteristics:
1400M ---- 41.25 MOA
1500M ---- 48 MOA
1600M ---- 55.5 MOA

Formulas:
A^2 + B^2 = C^2
C^2 - A^2 = B^2

A = Elevation Difference: |Elevation 1 - Elevation 2| = 2685 - 2331 = 354 Meters
B = True Distance: (What we want)
C = Measured Distance: 1520 Meters

Equations:
Equation 1(Scope adjust)--- 55.5-48 = 7.5 MOA. (7.5 MOA = 100 Meters(See scope props))
7.5/2 = 3.75 MOA. (3.75 MOA = 50 Meters(See scope props))
3.75/2 = 1.89 MOA (1.89 MOA = 25 Meters(See scope props))
I want 1520 Meters, so i'm going to use 1.89MOA. Rounding up to 2 and putting my scope from 48MOA(1500 Meters) to 50MOA(1525 Meters).

SIDENOTE: Should've rounded down to 1.75 MOA to compensate for 1520 instead of going higher.

Equation 2 --- C^2 - A^2 = B^2
C^2 = 1520^2 = 2,310,400
A^2 = 354^2 = 125,316
B^2 = (2,310,400 - 125.316) = 2,185,084
Take Square root of B^2 and get B
B = 1489.2 Meters.

Equation 3(Scope adjust)--- 48-41.25 = 6.75 MOA. (6.75 MOA = 100 Meters(See scope props))
100/6.75 = 14.89
I want 1490 Meters, so i'm going to use 6 MOA (14.89 x 6 = 89.04 Meters).
Add 6 MOA to 41.25 and you get 47.25 MOA which is what I put into my scope. (varied between 47.25, 47.50, 47.75)

I hope you understood this. If not, I swear I'm not crazy.

3.75/2 is 1.875 not 1.89

[ODsurvivalskills]

whats MOA ?

[NYCAirsoftN]

Could someone please help me, i got ACE 2 and everything but i am not sure how to do the following...get the Kestrel 4500 Wind Meter, set the range with the vector nite and lastly get that Dagger GPS thing. Please help me, Google hasn't helped this time, yea crazy huh?

Too bad that I won't be enjoying the fruits of my calculations because I would have been dead before I finish. And perhaps, the guy who killed me, never finished high school.

@ThreeProphets hey thanks m8 i just used sixupdater and it scanned what i had installed and showed me the compatible downloads.

[ThreeProphets]

@SBSspecialist89 It's a pain in the ass. Go look it up on one of the forums.

Oswald didn't kill Kennedy, this guy did.

Lol too late, i already bought the game and found it.... xD

btw, its the DAGR
