Hi, I have an idea, that it’d be cool if the sun could reflect from scopes, like in real life. You’d be able to see a glint from distance, which would come from a sniper’s scope.
I came up with this since a famous finnish sniper, named “Simo Häyhä” chose always a weapon with an Iron sight, instead one with a scope, since the sun could expose his position, by reflecting from the scope. (Of course it wouldn’t always reflect. Only when they are in the right position.)
I like this suggestion - But only if it can be implemented in a realistic way (correct angle of the light source), otherwise I think it would feel janky. Many other games tend to make the scope glint whenever it’s used, regardless of angle, and I really hate that system.
This could create some problems for snipers, especially since the glinting ones already have the sun in their eyes (a disadvantage). Might need some tuning!
while yes but it would be rather unfair for snipers to have tracers, scope glint and kill cams
Agreed!
