Realistic appearance of optics in tanks

I don’t know about others, but I think that the current optics in tanks are not very realistic.
Because, for example, in the Tiger E, the commander’s optics simply look like a hole in the armor.
That’s why I propose to add the effect of small scratches to all optics in tanks so that it can finally be seen that there is armored glass there.
In the game there is already a chance that the optics will be destroyed, but the optics are still intact.
So in such a situation, you could add a shattered glass effect to the optics, which would make it impossible to use.
What do you think?

sometimes it needs A LITTLE bit brain to think about gameplay moments. but who are we to do so?

i like the possibility of damage visuals of the optics, if they made the commander view more detailed. there are some tanks that have viewports that are not modelled, just the periscope. mb a middle ground would be to allow to repair the periscope from inside the tank?

but i disagree with small scratches at first. in other simulator games that do this (scratches on the plane canopy), it’s just a nuisance. it looks bad on a pixelated screen.
on the other hand, afaik the periscope in uboat looks alright. so depends on the implementation in the end.
