The PK-A is a reflex sight in ArmA 3. It was added with the release of the Global Mobilization - Cold War Germany Creator DLC.

Design[]

A Soviet-made reflex sight, PK-As use a red-tinted dot reticle. They are set to a fixed zeroing of 200 m which cannot be manually adjusted.[CfgWp 1][CfgWp 2]

The user can choose to switch to aiming via the weapon's ironsights rather than through the PK-A. When aiming with the weapon's ironsights, zeroing can be freely adjusted[note 1] up to a maximum of 400 m.[CfgWp 3][CfgWp 4]

It can be mounted onto any weapon that features a compatible Dovetail side mount:[CowsSlot 1][CowsSlot 2]

  • AKM assault rifle* (7.62 mm)
  • AK-74N assault rifle (5.45 mm)
  • LMG K 500 assault rifle (7.62 mm)
  • LMG RPK/RPKN light support weapon** (7.62 mm)
  • LMG RPK-74/RPK-74N light support weapon (5.45 mm)
  • MPi AK-74 assault rifle (5.45 mm)
  • MPi KM-72 assault rifle*** (7.62 mm)
  • RPG-7 rocket launcher (40 mm)
  • SVD sniper rifle (7.62 mm)

(*) Only available to the L and N variants.
(**) Exclusive to the LMG RPK and RPKN variants. The standalone RPK model is not capable of mounting the PK-A.
(***) Not available to the MPi KM sub-variant.

It should be noted that attaching the PK-A onto a weapon will increase its inertia penalty by +0.1.[CfgWp 6]

Camouflage[]

  • Black: Black colour scheme.
  • Grey: Grey colour scheme.

Trivia[]

  • The PK-A was not originally included as part of Global Mobilization's launch assets, and was only added to the DLC after the release of Update 1.5.[1]

Notes[]

  1. 1.0 1.1 This depends on the value of the maxZeroing config token used by the weapon platform. If the weapon's maxZeroing has a value that is less than 400 m, then it will not be possible to adjust zeroing up to 400 m even though the PK-A supports it.
