as a fan of the stalker series, your mod fits so well in the game. I have true scopes installed, you know the mod that makes scopes feel a little more real and is there any way you can make the vintorez scope work with true scopes because right now it has the old scope animation
Am I the only one who giggled like a schoolgirl at the (almost) ridiculous bullet drop? This rifle actually makes sniping -FUN-! Hard part is learning how to compensate, but once you do, it's easy (hint: the scope has built-in BDC marks, ya idiots).
Tweaked it just a hair via the GECK, dropped skill req to 40 and fixed the sound mixup, now it's my go-to DMR.
EDIT: In case anyone cares, there's a -really- easy way to get rid of the bullet drop. Go into the GECK, get into the VSS file (make it your active file). Find the VSS in the Weapons list, double-click it. Under the Art and Sound tab, there's a box labeled "Projectile". Change that from the default to whatever else you want (I used the "357CalRifleBulletProjectile" ) . Save changes, exit the GECK, load game, test-fire. If you did it right, firing the VSS should look roughly the same as firing a Cowboy Repeater (no tracer effect, no bullet drop).
That's not ideal since if there's other mods that alter that projectile the VSS gets affected too - for the VSS's default projectile just enable the hitscan flag and you don't have to worry about gravity.
Wonderful gun, 10/10. Individual shots are weakish, but this is balanced by a very high DPS. And hot damn, what a beautiful model! If memory serves, they were nowhere near this pretty in the STALKER series.
Just don't go hunting the BoS without a proper AP cartridge mod; deathclaws should be A-OK.
It is not to insult your work, but this rifle seems a bit too shaky, and not too precise. Is there some secret to using it, or is it just your way of reminding people that it was not meant to be a very long ranged rifle? (Sounds weird when you say it like that, considering we are talking about a sniper rifle..)
I'm not sure if you're still doing anything with this, but I gave my gun to Arcade outside of the tops and now it's gone.. I would buy a new one but no one sells them. I'll probably just add the items back and play it off as not cheating, but I would really like to see this in vendors at least. Love the drop too, I would rather my guns behave more realistically. Hope FO4 does that and wind speed... One can dream
Also, I don't know why but, WAY back at lvl 2 going from Primm to NCRCF I bumped into an NCR Ranger vet squatting with a VSS (or AS Val) watching Primm on a nearby ledge. Full Immersion from then til now.
I really like the way this gun looks. But I like also not having god weapons. Why not make a toned down realistic version as well? It's easier for you to make a realistic version and post both downloads than it is for every single person who is like minded to myself to do it through geck.
Realism speaking, a real life Vintorez fires a 9x39 mm cartridge which is closer to a pistol cartridge than to a 5.56 rifle bullet, so... http://world.guns.ru/sniper/sniper-rifles/rus/vss-e.html
