Reading Wind: Speed
Wind Indicator
The in-game wind display can be activated with the default key bind: Shift + K. The indicator will appear in the top left of the screen and display information for both wind direction and wind speed. In a similar fashion to a soldier experiencing wind without any devices to precisely measure velocity and bearing - this indicator does not provide precise values or directions, only estimations. With an understanding of the systems and methods in use to display these estimates, information precise enough for marksmanship may be gathered for use.
Beaufort Scale
The in-game wind indicator displays wind speed using wind “force” levels of the Beaufort scale. The force levels are represented with corresponding numbers of dots under the direction indicator, alongside color changes for each force level. The wind speeds corresponding to the Beaufort force levels (in meters per second) are detailed below:
