not anything that has a scope.
i’ll be honest.
i mean, not really.
what you see, would be pretty much ( i presume ) the scope in front of your eye. depending technically, you can still somewhat see the surrounding on the borders. although you aren’t really capable of accurately see what’s around because you are more focused on what you are seeing through the scope.
you… " zoom " in that focal point.
my point is, it’s foolish to claim that you can perfectly see in your focus both the scope it self, what the scope is seeing, and the surroundings as well as the scope at the same time.
you’d had to be a cyclope with a great field of view which humans do not posses. ( outside rare occasions. but exceptions to make up for the rule as it’s entirety )
which, i’m no expert in fire arms but i’m fairly sure that as a human, you cannot phisically be able to look and fire.
hence, why marksmen usually close one of their eye, and look through the scope.
which then, if they need to look around, slighly move their heads up above the scope and tries to look for the surrounding with both eyes opened.
i don’t think you can do both actions ( of looking around and be able to actually still see what’s the scope is "looking at " at the same time. )
yeah but you have to focus on the image it self of the scope to see what’s going on and in the game related shoot at who you see.
i think the way it currently works, it’s somewhat of a balance as you have to get in and out of the zoom if you want to see your surrounding. i’m not fire arm expert again, but sounds at least logical to me in a balance perspective.
otherwise i’d be deadlier twice time more than i currently am using sniper rifles in this game ( and i don’t mean it as a brag, but what i’m saying is, if you get the ability to see your surrounding as well as you are still aimed in, snipers would become i think a bit op. and anyone else in this game that can at least shoot and hit their target, they would to.
hence, that’s why i think the current sniper might not be " realistic " ( i don’t 100% know that you let me think about it ) but sort of.
