Top 10 WORST Iron Sights in Battlefield 1 (BF1) 

That Chauchat AA sight is hilarious

The radium sights are actually my favorite in the game, especially with the martini Henry. It’s got softer angles which makes it easier to see far away enemies, and it makes it easier to zoom in at close quarters.

In terms of bad iron sights, *nothing* beats BF3 famas. Gigantic block of metal with tiny hole to peak though - on a gun with 1000 rpm, lots of muzzle flash and crazy recoil. Ugh....Thank god, acog scope was unlocked just after first 10 kills.

I'm surprised the Howell wasn't on the list.

Dafuq why SMLE sight is in this list

The BAR and 1917 MG irons look like something you’d use to extract blackheads.

am I the only here who likes the Enfield's Iron Sights?

I don’t think the BAR sights are that bad, but otherwise I agree with the rest of the list, even if I’d change the order a bit.

Ok but how is the bar iron sights worse than the Madsen

Huh; I thought the SMLE sights would rank on the top 10 best sights; I fucking love them! Anyone else?

Nice list dude, should make more videos like this, top 10 best iron sights would be good too

I thought the Vetterli's were pretty good.

I personally dislike the Radium sights because of how the central needle is squared off at the tip. It's quite a slap in the face for snipers because the weapons it is used on are medium to long range and squared sights are not ideal for those ranges.

Radium sight: "block with all the rave paint on it" - best description I've ever heard lmao 😂

I personally hate the Farqhuar-Hill’s iron sights with a passion. The middle post is so large and obstructive, it made unlocking the Optical variant absolute hell

Imo the worst ones are the howell rifle ones, iron and AA, maybe it's just me, but having the sights at the side of the gun is pretty upsetting, it just doesn't do it for me

Love how he’s talking about the worst iron sights, yet he shows gameplay of him destroying with these sights. Huge Chad energy

I just love how the Madsen's mag shakes when firing. And I actually prefer the closed-needle sights, like the radium.

Not really "sights" problem, but with the on screen animation or how the player holds the weapon: I really hate the c93 "dancing" on the screen, and the weird holding of the howell. Some people really hate the sights of the fraquar, but I think its okay. Mp18 looks like it would be obscuring but is it actually fine

Now you gotta do the best iron sights!

Sad part is that in real life, most of these sights are actually ok to use. Video games have always had a rough time with iron sight for some reason.

9:30 "when your trying to shoot multiple enimes" Yes cuz the bar has a big magazine capacity

To fix the sight problem with the SMLE, put the zoom to its highest, the closer parts of the site are blurred out making it easier to use.

Great video Kris!! I hope we get that scoped Enfield

I HATE the iron sights in some of the planes’ gunner seats. The “pin needle” sight is the worst thing to look at.

After 1918: You have 50 different attachments for hip fire,ads,and multiple lens and dot colors,auto calc distances. Prior 1918: look harder.

Madsen is still my fav lmg

I actually prefer the radium sites on the mosin because i find it easier to use because it is enclosed and the fact that it reminds me of the mosin m91/30

Best iron sights: gewehr 98 infantry

The Lewis magazine spins just too fast compared to its real life counterpart

Nice video, do more like this

I always never liked the radium sights but testing them with the lebel and it definitely changed my mind just for that gun. The smle I have gotten used to because aiming through an actual wood and metal replica of the MK III and I can attest the BF1 version is easier to aim than the real life counterpart especially the zoom. I was interested in the chauchaut AA sight but you convinced me that it seems too cluttered for intense infantry use. The perino however, was a personal favorite, I have no idea why other than the thin post sight. If they fix the Luger Artillery and swap the standard Luger sights with the post adjustable rear sight like in Verdun, I'd definitely use it more.

Where the hell is the howell automatic iron sights

Hello :D. I love your vids bro

That moment the 1917 Enfield is regarded as having one of the best rifle sigths of the war, so much so, later guns like M1 Rifle and carbines all used a similar design.

I agree with most of the stuff on this list, but the one big one that's missing IMO is the default Carcano sights. They are absolutely terrible because they basically don't exist. You get one tiny front blade, which is normally nice, but there's almost nothing at all around it - just two ears that are really far away from that centre blade. This just means that the blade gets lost in anything of a similar colour, or in shadow - I hate it. The radium sights are a must, but are also terrible even moreso than normal - because the rear sights of the Carcano are so far forward, and the rifle itself is very short, it means the peephole on the raidum sights is even more tiny than usual. Added on that the rifle fires very quickly and the bolt is always getting in the way and in your face when cycling, I'd personally put both those sights on the Carcano above even the Enfield on a personal rating.

The Enfield are excellent sights IRL, however cause of the game makes them horrible which is true on how you aim it in game along with the other weapons

A very accurate guide. I agree on many of those.

So glad you put the Vetterli on there, those iron sights are disgusting

Radium sights on vetterli are fantastic and better than iron

When your an assault and your friend equips your load out when your blind folded And you load in the game *GOD DAMNIT I GOT BUCK HORN!*

Imagine if there was a gun whose front post iron sight was so thin, if your TV wasn’t a high enough resolution, you literally wouldn’t be able to see them.

i knew enfield was number 1

Agree with all of them! The most ridiculous one must be the Chauchat.

Anybody else noticed how the special Radium sight is awesome on the Vertterli Vitali?

I hate how the BAR has bad iron sights and if you fix it by putting AA sights it ruins the look of the gun

I like the SMLE sights because if you know the bullet dynamics and ranges, you can use the forks on either side of the sight for moving targets

I really enjoy the elegant beauty or mechanical nature of iron sites. They can be clean and simple or extravagant and admittedly encumbering.

Somehow I knew what was going to be no.1. From recent experience with LE1917 it seems to do pretty well, if you use the highish RoF to your advantage and forget the 100-> sweetspot. But still there are better rifles in the game. Personally I agree but might swap the smle to mosin. Keep up the good work

I would rate the M1917 MG default sights as the 1st place,that tiny thing makes it Impossible to be accurate when not on bypod.

It's interesting; this is the opposite stance of actual militaries. Because the ring site of the M1917 became beloved and is the basis for the sites of the M1 Garand, M14, AR-15 and more.

Watching him play so well makes me feel useless in comparison

Where is the kolibri weapon review

Radium sights are for use on night maps and work well in that sense where a normal sight can't be seen well

I actually find the bar sights super satisfying to kill with

Guns with the mag on the top rarely have good iron sights.

I like the vetterli-vitali, It's other guns that have other stuff near the middle that makes it hard to tell where center is that drive me insane like the SMLE, I swear the first few respawns when I select that gun is me shooting using the left pillar instead of the center one.

This is the peak of RU-vid content

pre patch mosin and post patch federov are pretty bad imo

I think it's down to preference,really :D All of my buddies hate the mosin because of it's irons,but I like the larger sights. It helps me zero in on people, like with the lewis gun (Another favorite)

Man I've been here since 4k subbs it's been she long

I like how he talks about how much the iron sights suck and then gets a ton of kills with them.

The spinning magazine of the Lewis gun really throws me off lmao

I’ve used the perino for so long I don’t even notice the iron sites anymore

that moment when you get an add that tells you everything about the show being advertised including what happens how and when in the series making the whole series useless and obsolete with no clif hangars hidden plot or anything to make it worth watching and there for making the biggest spoiler in the world

Personally I'd put the chachaut's AA sight at number one. It's not useless, it's just obnoxious. I think that's why I hate it so much.

My favorite iron sights are the selbstlader 1906 and lMG

I love the Radium sights. I like to use them with the SMLE because I don't like it's regular one. They work really good. Vetterli sight are also pretty. I can use them really good

The iron sights really make the vetterli infantry useless. It's a tricky gun to use as is, but with the horrible sights the gun becomes more of a useless curiosity than a viable means of attack.

The entire point of the AA sights is for... AA. Those lines help you account for the many directions an aircraft might be moving in, at various speeds and distances. I often engage aircraft with machineguns, and did so well before the challenge for one of the gun unlocks was added. It's impressive how much a single infantryman with an LMG can inconvenience a pilot by constantly shaving enough damage off him to force him to disengage and waste time repairing.

as far as the SMLE's sights are concerned, its because DICE made the rear sight post VERY open (not just for the SMLE, but for EVERY gun) normally the SMLE sight picture doesnt show the side prongs also the BAR's rear sight is incorrect to the period, as the WW1 BAR had nearly the exact same sight picture as the American Enfield (which was a ring-shaped peep hole)

I really like the Chauchat's AA sights and normal sights, but that is probably because of my extensive experience with the weapon

I like the AA sights on the chauchat.

The Pederson device in real life has a much wider rear sight window, so much to the point that you can see the normal iron sights in their entirety. So how did they manage to fuck that up?

It's really ironic that the 1917 enfield is no.1 when in real life it is known for its sights

I love the radium sights, i prefer these over the stock iron sights because they are absolutely hideous

I love radium sights on certain rifles like the carcrino

It all comes down to preference. The M1917 Enfield infantry is my favorite non scope rifle and the Mosin infantry has the worst sights but the marksman version is my go to long range rifle.

Radium sights are really only good for the night maps, making it easier to see your sights against the dark background

I really like the BAR's iron sights. They actually have a centre point, whereas the AA sights have a large empty space in the middle making it harder to aim at range

I also have issues with the bomber's gunner(like madnes but even worse!). Unmounted weapons with bad iron sight: the hout : strange sight(don't remember the name), the 1906 factory with that moving part, the martiny(not obscuring, but really hard to judge IMO) and arisaka-for some reason I simply cannot hit with it

The smle and Lewis gun are my fave sights!

I hate the Farquhar Hill Storm sights. So large and clunky. And getting that 25 headshots to unlock the optical variant was a pain in the arse.

the smle iron sights are the best :) i love them

I've never really had a problem with any iron sight, since the bullets are the size of school buses

I like the radium sights on the Martini

I agree completly with the SMLIII point

Wasnt expecting nmr 3 the bar. I think the bar has one of the best iron sights in the game

I absolutely hate any AA sight on any weapons and also just find a shotgun and boom there ya go bad iron sight

I’m surprised the Howell automatic’s iron sights didn’t make it on here

The Ross Infantry are my new favorite iron rights

I love the radium sights they’re amazing

I always found the normal BAR sights much easier than the AA for the gun, because the AA made me feel like I was peering over the guns barrel when I ADS'd. However I will agree that the A-Enfield's sights are horrible, but for some reason, I guess its the fire rate, I love that gun.

I know what you mean about the smle, I've confused those front posts up a few times whist using it

I personally love the radium sights.

Ok, but u have to know and take into part what the sight was for, radium sights were put on for night use, sights like the Lewis guns are used to range targets, and AA sights are used for exactly what their name is.

LMG's aren't meant to be used in the way shown above. You're supposed to take a position where you can set up a nest, mount the bipod, and lock down lanes and flanks. Not run around trying to use it like an assualt rifle or submachine gun. The sights on the Lewis Gun for example, they're made for mid-range engagements, not CQC.

I find the radium sights the best use to always snipe with iron sights and used the radium sights

never understood why fps games zoom way into sights so far that the rear aperture becomes a dumb tunnel to look through instead of something to line the front post up with

Getting kills with the Enfield infantry is like sweet, sweet juice
