Binoculars mechanic suggestion

Hi, I find binoculars are a bit of a missed opportunity in Enlisted. These items dont give any real benefit. I expected to equip them and for them to possibly do the things I will suggest here:

  1. Ping vehicles from a further distance. Currently, there is a max range of about 80 meters or something in which you can mark vehicles for your team. It would be cool if equipping binoculars increased this range, allowing us to mark and call out vehicles for our team at really any distance.

  2. I thought that using a pair of binoculars might give me a distance readout, similar to how mortarmen are told the distance in meters from the pings laid out by the team. This would be pretty cool to help judge the distance accurately for zeroing in AT launchers, or calling out “enemy soldiers moving 75 meters out east” to people I’m in game with.

What do you think? I expected binoculars to do these things by default, but they dont really do… anything.

  1. binoculars could make markers last little bit longer too. I thought that maybe scoped rifles could also do that so snipers would get more love too. Which they totally need… or maybe a perk that would mark everything you look at with scopes, but idk if that wouldn’t be too much tho.

either way there’s plenty of solutions to make binoculars worth using, devs gotta do something, coding that isn’t a rocket science either.

  1. binoculars should have a aim button and a lower position in order to move around without having to switch weapon on and off just to move around. because for some reason you can’t lower jack * when holding them…
