Anyone ever wondered why the game hasn't been designed for players to be able to move and switch/weapons weapons at the same time? It just seems very immersion breaking, irritating and a simple feature to accommodate, heck i think there is even an addon on the workshop that allows for this. Is it just me?
I guess it's because the first version of Operation Flashpoint only had rifles, no pistols, and launchers were special purpose weapons that you don't really take out while moving. Pistols came in with Resistance, I think...
And there's still so much OFP in Arma 3....
Yeah, I use that "switch weapons whilst moving" mod and it seems so clunky without it now.
I usually just put the pistol in my vest so I won't accidently action-menu it, so bothering with having to stop in order to draw it is a minor issue for me.
