@neiio I've been using your sight mods in order to make my own as a shortcut. I will include your name to credits of all my mods as a tribute to your work. Thanks

@Radgarbojangles, R.I.P. to mod orders as of the July 26th update. Blame Steam modding API and NWI for this.

There's a bug where the original iron sight comes back. With your other iron sights there are two front sights. Dont know what causes it though. Any ideas?

Check my mods, uploaded a bunch of iron sights that go along with this mod.

Have you have one where you have the same M16A4 front sightss for the HK417?

yall motherfuckers need to calm down, its a goddamn game. Your battery doesnt run out on a game. just shut the fuck up about it. if yall dont like the front sight post removal then dont subscribe to it. its not that hard. and for the military comments, most units dont even have flip up iron sights, why? cause they fall off. if this was to be as realistic as possible there would be flip ups on it, in the down position. but its a game, so there isnt. he took them off cause they get in the way of the optic. just cool your shit.

What skin are you using for that Red dot sight?
Lt. McDonalds Nuggy  [author] 13 Jul, 2015 @ 3:46pm 
@❤KITTYGANG❤, I didn't get anything. If you don't like it then don't subscribe. It's as simple as that.

Neiio, you got rocked. this addon is silly

@neiio optionally people can choose to have iron sights on or off their weapons, these are PMC's, so why these guys are arguing this, makes no sense. While the US Military does maintain that the proper soldier should maintain SOP to the Armorer's/CO's orders, it's perfectly fine because this game doesn't incorporate flip up ironsights that are pretty much in use today by most Infantry Units out in the field anyways. It's a video game.

Also thank you for the mod because this makes them compatible with the Troy Sights on Farengars M4 SOCOM that are already apparently fitted for the length of the rail system.

No arguments please, let's not discuss this further and do our own independant research and decide if to subscribe or not.

@Weasel "they don't know what they are talking about" Right, because most of the worlds militaries have no idea what they are talking about when it comes to firearms being useful and effective during a soldiers service...

Hey man, this is awesome, thanks! As for the whole iron sight debate, don't listen, they don't know what they are talking about.

@neiio. As with Tacit, I'm also Military, but for the U.S. And we keep our iron sights on. Electronics break, and run dead. those sights are for if that were to happen. Hell even the Marksmen in our Company (we only have one ass its an MP unit, I''m a mechanic though, Keeps the irons on his Mk-11. Plus its only partialy up to us, we'd have to get the authorization from the Armorer to take it off, or even the Comander depending on the unit.

@neiio, I'm former ADF and I've worked alongside 7 other nations armed forces, and none of them even think of taking off their iron sights because it is fundamentally a stupid and flawed concept. If you don't want them 'blicking' your view through your optic then ofset them, but you never remove them entirely because your optic WILL die when you need it one day, and then you're fucked.

@Tacit Blue, I was talking to my friend(he was formerly in the military) on teamspeak, that's where I got my info. It might come down to personal preference, I don't know.

Thanks a lot for making this add-on! I prefer having no front sights in-game since it's obstructing my view (except when using iron sights of course)! Once again, thanks!
Tacit Blue 10 Jul, 2015 @ 5:02am 
Also Trijicon and Aimpoint design their optics and mounts so the dot or crosshair lines up with the top of your front sight so you can cowitness them and use them together, they are literally designed for that.
Tacit Blue 10 Jul, 2015 @ 5:01am 
@neiio, no it isn't advised to remove them, in the army we were taught and told, always set up your optics to cowitness with your iron sights, because they WILL fail and then you've got a useless firearm, its entirely unrealistic to think removing iron sights for combat firearms is a good idea, you NEVER do it when you're a soldier, you only see people doing it for range guns, where they don't need them and just want a clear view of the target.
Lt. McDonalds Nuggy  [author] 10 Jul, 2015 @ 1:22am 
For any concerns about "it not being realistic" it is realistic because Aimpoint(red dot) optics don't require an iron sight because no matter the position of your head/eye the dot stays on target. It's the same for eotechs. It's actually advised to remove/lower the front iron sight when using an optic.
