### Vol. 2 ADS Timing (manual testing) and SDEC timings comprison

I decided from a older test results of Miffyli ADS timing vol 1 to redo for myself the test but this time for all optics and thought I going to share my results with you.

Method I used

I did the test as Miffyli did in his older test so we will have similar results.

final note: These are not meant to use for accurate calculations nor to be taken for granted! These are mainly meant to give us at least something about ADS timings.

timings are calculated with the value of 30ms/frame for easier understanding

In addition I calculated how long it takes for the spread decrease timing and compared it to the zoom timing if the spread decrease timing within the ADS animation or takes longer.

For calculation of the SDEC timing I used this formula

(x / ((d*z)/1000)) - (m / ((d*z)/1000))

d = SDEC value
z = Grip SDEC

timings are calculated with the value of 33ms/frame

Could you explain the SDEC timings a little more? I can't read it.

Next, wanna try adding a guy that you KNOW is bad, and just testing to see that? Example: PP-2000 (god I so wanna love this gun, and yet...)

### Quoted from "Pastafarianism"

Yes, it comes in last so far, but that is mostly because I'm making it shoot at 100m ADS - Not Moving as one of the criteria. Even then, between 50-100m Not Moving, when you include Useability, it is only 1.37% worse than the MTAR-21. Within 50m then it even beats the A-91.

Have a look, vs. the A-91 Carbine:

Using it with Muzzle Brake and Compensator is a wash in terms of overall performance. Comp is SLIGHTLY more accurate, while MB is SLIGHTLY more easy to use. Their overall scores are basically tied, with MB just ahead. I guess either can be recommended.

### Quoted from "Pastafarianism"

But... You can't be counting for the fact that it takes 9 bullets to kill at "long" range... Don't you dare tell me my A-91 is worse than a 9 BTK 650 RPM mediocre PDW.

Also. Just go heavy barrel. The recoil is low enough.

### Quoted from "Zer0Cod3x"

Well, technically...

Comparing a PP2K with HB and an A-91 with comp and stubby (as you suggested in an earlier post), at 50m not moving, the A-91 is only better by 4 damage per hitrate. While at 75m and 100m, surprisingly the PP2K does better than the A-91 (I'm pretty damn surprised as well).

And 10m and 50m moving the PP2K also does more damage per hitrate than the A-91. At 25m the A-91 is only better by about half a bullet's damage as well.

In addition, the PP2K has a much larger mag size and substantially less recoil. And it looks hella awesome. So comparing the A-91 to a PDW is of some worth after all, as the PP2K is better (technically, not practically) than the A-91.

Mind blown.

*cries in a corner*

### Quoted from "Veritable"

Zer0Cod3x explained it very well. If you look at the raw numbers right here on Symthic Comparison, you can see how that happened:

A-91 vs PP-2000 | BF4 Weapon Comparison | Symthic

A-91's "23%" RPM advantage only afforded it 1 extra round.

Velocities are wash.

V-Recoil are wash (and this is HBar on PP2k vs. A-91 without).

Hipfire and ADS - Moving are better on the PP2k, but it's a PDW and not the surprising part.

The surprising part is that, as equipped (and we see above that PP2k HBar has almost same V-Recoil as A-91 without HBar so why not?), the PDW performs better at 50 - 100m than a bloody Carbine. Why?

SIPS, 42% better on the PP2k.

And here is the most important part. ADS - Not Moving Spread, 0.35 vs. 0.2, 43% improvement.

Without HBar then of course the PP2k loses, which is why when I add all the attachments together for an Overall Ranking, it would slot below the A-91. Run HBar on it, though, then... I'm sorry

### Quoted from "Zer0Cod3x"

What do you mean you can't read them?

As an example

the AK-12 and using this formula without any grip and no movement (x / (d/1000)) - (m / (d/1000))

(1.7/(1.7/1000))-(0.2/(1.7/1000)) = 103 ms this is the time it needs to decrease from ADS max value to ADS min value. I recorded everything with 30 fps so it takes ~0.3 sec per frame (as Miffily first post)

so 103ms/30ms= 3.4 Frames per sec = 4 frames but you have to add 1 additional frame because it needs 1 frame from the value Hip spread to ADS Max.

So it needs 5 frames from any given spread value to reach min and because the iron sight need 6 frames for it ADS animation you decrease faster than the animation, the Scar-H as an example needs 7 frames so it takes longer to decrease than the animation

Oooo may I ask did you read the fov value from memory as well and if so what language you used? Just asking out of curiosity.

Kinda odd ADS-out is same for everything no matter what, but I guess it's way less important than ads-in.

Using 33ms would have been bit more accurate and if we had lots of frames it would grow to big absolute error fast but in this case the difference is in practice minimal, nobody can squeeze advantage out of one 33ms logical frame in any multiplayer game.

Ah sorry totally forgot to add them,

d = SDEC value
z = Grip SDEC

and yes it took me wonder how long it takes.

@Miffyli

No, I did not read the FOV value from memory (don't have any tools for this), was by eyes counting the frames yea I know not really exact

About the ADS out yea was surprised as well but I thought it would be still interesting to add them and I'm going to update the charts with the value of 33 ms, so people won't complain it's not totally accurate

Oh in this case it's "good enough", considering the fov I read from the memory is same as in drawn picture so you can pretty easily spot when fov is not changing anymore by going frame-by-frame and counting them.

I don't think the "spread decrease while ADSing" calculations are correct. IIRC all guns now have 15 spread decrease for the first 0.2 seconds after going ADS.

Edit: check the "NoFireDecreasePerSecond" and "NoFireTimeThreshold" stats. They are (IIRC) global for all (automatic?) weapons.

### Quoted from "Watcher-45"

What kind of question is that? Since when is cheese ever a bad idea?

### Quoted from "LeGarcon"

Hardline is a fun and sometimes silly Cops and Robbers sorta thing and I think that's great. Or it would be if it didn't suck.

@miffily

yep this is what I did, quite some work..

@C0llis

Yes I know the faster decrease, this is the reason why I added on the excel sheets 1 extra frame at the No grip/Grip/Flash hider FPS numbers to compensate the decrease between HIP spread to ADS max Spread

I'm not sure we are talking about the same thing. The constant "d" (spread decrease) in your calculations should be 15 for the first 0.2 seconds after the player starts going into ADS if more than 0.2 seconds has passed since the last shot, for all weapons.

@Rezal

Is this correct?
