Changable scopes for Sniper Rifles

How cool would it be to have a few different options for the type of scopes we can use for any given sniper rifle.

__

For example: As a player progresses through any given campaign, they unlock a variety of different sniper rifles. Each of which, often has a different type of scope (with a different level of magnification).

In Normandy, the FG II sniper variant, has a scope that is much too powerful for that gun (when dispertion is accounted for).
It would be nice to be able to put a different type of scope on that gun, with a lower magnification.

And the same goes for being able to add a stronger/smaller magnification on the Sniper Gewehr., and the Kar98 sniper rifle.

This also applies to all the other factions/campaigns. Once a player unlocks Sniper 1 and Sniper 2… the player should be able to mount whichever of the two scopes on either of the two sniper rifles.

For factions/campaigns that have a Sniper 3, then the player would eventually have three different scope options to choose from (High magnification, medium, and low).

And for anybody who opposes this idea (claiming it’s not realistic to use different scopes)… then my rebuttle would be to reconsider your position after reading this article regarding the variety of scopes that were used by the germans during WW2.

And it wouldn’t be hard to research the variety of scopes used for all other factions.
Therefore, it would be a great implementation into the game.

i mean, its really applicable only to germans in this case. soviets already got every period accurate scope, i believe americans and japanese as well.

It’s not just about having “period accurate scopes”… but rather having the ability to use different scopes with different magnifications. Some sniper rifles would be so much better if they had a different scope mounted, instead of the one given.
