I preferred the old system.
IRL comparisons must bear in mind the difference of target distances, the Max in PR is what about 1km, I imagine IRL its about 5km, so if choosing realism the GLTD fixed zoom should be tied in with the view distance if my assumptions are correct than a X2 should be about the same.
I am a firm believer in trying to reduce the load on SL's, make the sniper into a JTAC/FAC instead, a vital class when air support is available. IMHO it is rare that the sniper class is used effectively within a team, ofc if mumble is there he could be tied to an infantry squad but in the aircraft VOIP squad?

Re: Bring Back the Multi-Zoom GLTD
I agree 3 times zoom is better, especially for stuff thats not so far away

Re: Bring Back the Multi-Zoom GLTD
Perhaps give the GLTD to a new JTAC/FAC kit which could also be capable of doubling as a spotter for sniper teams if they like to do things that way. I smell a lot of teamwork in that idea.

Re: Bring Back the Multi-Zoom GLTD
any one remember the SOFLAM back in .6 or .7? that thing had no bugs iirc two levels of zoom and a (unbugged) range finder can we have that back but with the GTLD skin?

nice idea but that kit has been knocked back so many timesSniper_dog14 wrote:Perhaps give the GLTD to a new JTAC/FAC kit which could also be capable of doubling as a spotter for sniper teams if they like to do things that way. I smell a lot of teamwork in that idea.![]()
