 +Q1184 the master of ArmA recoils told us this:

 +Ok there'​s one more thing to watch for: recoils are FPS-sensitive,​ the better your FPS, the smoother the recoil. The lower your FPS, the more jumpy and uncontrollable it becomes. So test'​em in low FPS too.

 It takes the same amount of time, 0.05 seconds, to go back 0.02 and up 0.05 (a little higher than BIS's rifle recoil), then takes 0.35 seconds to return to 0 offset and slightly negative angle. It stays at this slightly negative angle for 0.07 seconds then takes 0.13 seconds to return to 0 angle. The felt result is a stronger kick up with far more delay in "​recentering"​ the weapon on the aiming point. This makes the gun harder to fire rapidly, and requires more user intervention in repeat firing. It takes the same amount of time, 0.05 seconds, to go back 0.02 and up 0.05 (a little higher than BIS's rifle recoil), then takes 0.35 seconds to return to 0 offset and slightly negative angle.

-There are no distinctions in recoil configs between standing, crouching, or prone recoils. OFP reads the recoil and automatically changes it to suit the soldier'​s position.+In OFP there are no distinctions in recoil configs between standing, crouching, or prone recoils. OFP reads the recoil and automatically changes it to suit the soldier'​s position. In ArmA however we can setup normal **recoil** and then the **recoilProne** configs like shown at top of this page.
