Right shoulder shift arms

[thomas aagaard]

We just got a great new update on the game.

But I noticed that the way the soldiers do "Right shoulder shift - Arms" is like many reenactors do it... incorrectly.

Game: almost straight up. And in this way you got very little control over the weapon when running.

By having the weapon pointing to the left at resting against the side of the throat/neck you got much better control.

Thank you for your input! We'll examine the evidence and see if it is indeed doable in-game (primarily thinking of possible clipping issues).

Thank you Luke,
but like Trusty said, we will check if its possible to use that authentic way ingame. If there are clipping errors and such, we have to stay with the current one, which works well technical wise.

Love the picture.
Show that the way shown in the drillbooks is not just some parade thing that was not used in the field.



Hope you make it work... and if not, the fact that you try prove that you do care about the authenticity.
(not that I was in any doubt)
