>put some shit that obscures ironsights and renders them useless

>>49019651
They weren't using the sights anyway.

But this makes a lot of sense for Orks and how they make things. I'm not even talking about the gestalt psychic shit, Orks would just do this because they think it's cool or clever.

What's your point?

Yah git.

>>49019691
They're Orks.

>>49019662
First answer is best and correct answer
>>49019691
Because thats how you do a Shoota. Orks do thing by pure instinct. A Shoota has gubbins.

>>49019691
Because they think it will help them hit things and by thinking so, they do.

They don't think this because they actually look through them, they think that they help naturally.

Aiming is just compensating for not having enuff dakka.

>>49019691
Cargo cult understanding of firearms. They know a shoota is supposed to have this little finicky gubbin on the front but have no understanding or care of what it's supposed to do, never aim anyway, so they just stick that weird shaped bit of metal on there and think it will help them hit their target.

>>49019651
Orks use cargo cult technology.

>"Uvva gitz stick bitz and gubbinz on their dakka to make dem shoot betta. More gubbinz makes yer shoota betta."

And for some reason -- gestalt Waaagh field, any ork able to afford the flash being a cunning git and a better shot, purely by accident -- when they fire, they do tend to hit more often.

I'm not sure if anyone said it yet but Orks use cargo shorts to power their technology.

>>49019691
Increases accuracy.

>>49019796
As silly as the gubbinz may be, the Waaaagh field is actually not doing a lot of heavy lifting to make shootas work. Orks have the knowledge of tech encoded into them on a genetic level; a given piece of Orky tech is actually very close to functional, and only needs the Waaagh field to make up for how the Mekboy forgot to put in the firing pin because he got distracted yellin' at grots.

>>49020148
I like the way that the RPGs like Rogue Trader handle it. Ork weapons can work for any user, but they are unreliable for anyone who's not an ork. An ork is going to be able to use it much more easily and avoid jamming. Way I see it the Waaaagh field is more like lubricant, helps the whole thing work better and perform to expectation rather than magically making an empty box with a tube jammed into it shoot like a real gun.

>>49019651
the sights are so the gun works, not to look through. A good Ork shoots from the hip.

What about Flash Gitz or Lootaz? They tend to have more complex aiming systems.

They literally just claim the biggiest and shiniest piece of tech they can find to show off to the other orks. Acurately hitting anything is irrelevant, as long as it's loud and flashy.

They saw humans using them, albeit they didn't know how they were using them, and saw they were a lot more accurate with them.

So they imitated them and believe it will make them more accurate... And it does because of that belief.

Even if they did look down the sights,
it wouldn't give any impression of where they were aiming.
It's just aesthetic bits of arbitrarily positioned metal.

If they really want Dakka they just attach another gun to the tau gun that's louder.

You ever look at those Chinese mystery pistols, that sometimes were well made and good copies of other pistols, but usually had some weird flaws or quirks that came from being made by people who knew about metalworking, but not about guns? Sometimes they'd add a rear sight that wouldn't line up with the front site, or looked like it was a movable sight when it wasn't.

This is the exact same situation. They aren't adding iron sights for actually using them, but because Orks think that's how a shoota is supposed to look.

Orks are loud and shooty.
Noise marines are loud and holy fuck are they loud.

Since this is an ork thread, question.

Wouldnt fighting tyranids ruin the ork economy by flooding it with high value liw deterioration teef?

>>49025470
That implies they have an Economy that has concepts like Inflation
They don't

>>49021127
tabletop stats don't really mean much seeing as how a full squad of ork boyz can't even beat a squad of guardsmen or even fucking fire warriors

>>49025629
Should Orks be removed from the game?

>>49025613
Totally do though. Their teeth are engineered to decay to prevent inflation and keep choppas affordable.

Hence the dire threat tyranids and their long lasting teeth pose.

>>49025660
they should be buffed to eldar tier

>>49025661
How long lasting are tyranid teeth? I get the impression most organisms are evolved for temporary use and to be reabsorbed into the hive biomass after killing and/or eating everything in the area. Teeth that last forever don't seem selected for.

>>49025661
Would you accept zimbabwean dollars as dollars?
One thing is not the same as the other thing even if both are teef.

>>49025661
Orks don't deal with these things as one unified body, they likely have many different solutions to this depending on which Waagh.
Some Orks might shun the use of non orky teef in the econamee, some orks might begin using tyranid teeth on their choppas based on their durability and cutting potential thus removing them from the economy (a choppa made o' teeth would be right flashy), some might even try and get into fights with nids with the promise of so many teef for trading.

>>49025742
Orks often use non ork teef as long as they are huge

Maybe it fucks with the economy, but the influx of massive teef would surely kickstart the mekboyz into creating some hefty stuff like stompas, battlefortresses and the like for the new found wealth.
