Realistic sights and tank/ cannon scopes

Today I’m bringing a suggestion that is slightly different than usual topics.

Here are some examples of historical tank sights (t-34 and Tiger)

also, cannons have no scopes at all, giving them some will make it easier to snipe tanks

Nice work btw!

oh no we only have x and y axis for tanks right now lol

Giving the realistic sights also allows you to learn the rangefinding mechanics for them, but will require you to use sight distance adjustment for them.

Zoom in iron sight is necessarily. Irl you have your full hd 4k 1080p eyes. In game you have only your screen that is lower quality than eyes. In life from distans X you can see someone very well when in game at this distans he’s only few pixels. Thats why we have zoom.

This game already killed sight adjustment by giving us green and red dots to show us where to shoot

I played 3 battles using no-zoom and had no problems being the best in my team and getting over 100 kills

Pixels?
I think this game is not Call of Duty 1

Which I think should be removed

Here’s my take on zoom: removing it also removes the difference between “crude” sights, like on pistols, and proper rifle iron sights which are actually ergonomic and easy to use accurately.

Zoom should be adjusted based on the ergonomics of a weapon, rather than being removed entirely, as ergonomics can’t be realistically represented in game when irl it makes a huge difference.

So rifles, carbines, and MGs should keep normal zoom, while SMGs and antimaterial rifles have reduced zoom, and pistols and shotguns have none.

Look what i mean. Soldiers stands 40 m away from me and only way to guess them nationality is look for colour of uniform. In real life from 40m i would tell you even expression of their face.

With zoom and at 1440p, a 200m target is as hard to see as it is irl, so removing zoom causes unrealistic targeting problems.

I call upon my veteran status for this argument.

It’s not that rifles can shoot too far, but that you’re not using sniper rifles from far enough away to justify a sniper rifle.

Off course!
How can I hide if I appear green every time an enemy points his mouse at my location

I admit I exploit the hell of of that to snipe tanks across the map and through forests when I can.

I agree rifles should have slightly better zoom than pistols and SMG but not as huge as rifles right now. It just zooms it too much

Again, the zoom brings your vision up to a realistic level, it’s the limitation of resolution.

i do agree for tanks, which those are usefull, and i would relly love an historical sight. rather than a silly one.

but i disagree for the rifles.

and here’s why:

this is how someone with the minimum requirements will see:

this is how i see: ( with a nvidia 1060 6gb )

how is someone supposed to see through the scope, when their graphic it’s low.
as a free to play, many people with most of the specific required to the bare minimum will play this game, and i don’t think it’s necessary to remove the zoom as it’s the only way they will be able to see.

second thingy, i really don’t like the far distance view from the rifle. it’s only usefull when you are in close quarter. and that’s why it has been implemented in the first place which it’s usefull. but i do not like being forced to.

and i think this has been already balanced, since when you are aiming, you are slow when looking around compared to the " off " zoom.

not to mention, the already present claustrophobic FOV.

regarding for snipers, they are not useless as people claims. in normandy, we saw the full potential. while in moscow, they are still effective if on top of some towers/roof.

but that’s what i think.

cheers^^

you have right. I will remove the rifle part and keep the tank one

I didn’t mean to imply they’re useless, but that people want to use them at closer range than they should.
Of course a scope always makes it easier outside of 50m even if you can hit with irons.

i wasn’t particulary answering at you.

just my personal opinion since i saw in many post people complaining about snipers not being usefull. which it’s preatty much debatable.

end of the question.

1+ from me for realistic sights! <3 :slight_smile:
