Here you can see a machinegun aiming at the same spot as a sniper, but with a cool trick it gets nearly to that 3.5x magnification. (actually more like 3.0x, i guess):
Just make your FOV be 50 instead of 90 and sit somewhere on bipods/build a high caliber mg and be an ultimate sniper with much bigger magazine and ultimate firerate allowing you to aim and exterminate full squads from 150-250 meters away.
Achieve an easy single-hand gameplay with 50 headshots of 50 kills:
Only a 1% of players actually knows that sniper class is useless since you can aquire a 3.0x scope on any weapon. Machinegun, Bolt-action rifle, Submachinegun, Pistol, anything.
I hope devs will make changing FOV much easier and faster in future so we can use this legal cheat much more efficient.
I use FOV setting and YOU should too.
Close quarter combat - set to 100 and see better on sides.
Long range defence - set to 50 and see farther and aim accurate.
I’m being a little sarcastic cuz i’ve made a forum post about disabling fov setting as WarThunder did or at least cutting fov setting to 70-110 for ±20 degrees around standard 90 degrees.
And people have told me that fov changing is essential and good. So, here i am, on mirrored forum, making a post about ubersetting.
I mean, i’ve just tried this thing on a variety of different weapons and it seems soo useful and easy to aim at long range, which is useful, especially in defence. And its really feels like a cheat so i’m not really happy about that. But players want to defend this thing…
Berlin, a lot of Moscow, Normandy and to some extent Pacific.
At least I wouldnt call 50m a range where you need 3x scope unless you have worse eyes than my parents in their old days
Just bring more bullets + you dont really need to shoot individual targets + you can shoot one bullet at a time if you really want to shoot individual targets and get little to no dispersion.
That’s what i’m doing with engy HMG and tanks (if i don’t want to expose myself with commander using binoculars). I wouldn’t really be using it on normal troopers since at close distances you will die instantly from a single person that comes from the slight angle
