DayZ (Arma 2)

Hi wizard! I tried calculating sensitivity for DayZ mod (not SA) with 800 DPI and 0.27 sensitivity on X, it said 24 cm on full rotation - in game after trying it few times it is around 17 cm when moving the mouse slowly. Due to acceleration in game moving mouse quickly makes rotation less long. Is the acceleration so obvious that even when moving mouse slowly the results differ so much or have I made some mistake?

Ah ok, I see, thanks for the reply. One thing that I noticed is that the Y sensitivity in Arma 2 config is set up by me as 1.5 of X since this way you have the same sensitivity in all directions - and the Y sensitivity matches the calculator - if I used the Y value instead of X value. Is this just coincidence or the accelaration multiplyer value when moving mouse slowly?

It's attributed to ArmA II's 'weapon weight system', where each weapon has different turn caps and acceleration rates for each axis depending on the weapon. It was removed in ArmA III to make the gameplay feel smoother. There isn't a way to fix it as far as I know, I had the same issue when I started playing ArmA II years ago. I guess you're just going to have to find a good feel for it.

Welp, looks like it might be different in DayZ than in ArmA II unless I'm just remembering wrong, sorry!

I've tried playing at 1.5 or 2x sensitivity on the y-axis but it still seems way too slow up/down compared to left/right, it just doesn't feel right like Arma 3.

how does the dayz sensitivity work, the calculator only gives settings for x but not y. Do i enter the same value for both?
