Small zoom when aiming with ironsights, not a chance at all ?
After the last FH2 updated, I noticied that a small zoom when aiming with irongights really help.
When aiming in PR, it has no zoom at all. It may be realistic, but one tiny amount of zoom help the player.
Take a look at the video bellow
I know it has been suggested, but I want to reforce this suggestion because I think many players in the community agree with me.

It is to simulate the human eye to focus on an object. Remember that a mouse, WASD, and a flat display monitor is an inaccurate representation of human eyes and arms and hands

Re: Small zoom when aiming with ironsights, not a chance at all ?
I disagree with this idea personally, but I really wouldn't care if it is implemented. I really suck at forgotten hope 2, but that's not because of the zoom; it's because the recoil of the weapons pisses me off. But yeah, I really loved red orchestra because it didn't have that COD zoom factor; you had to focus on a target yourself. When you look at something, you don't zoom in on it; you are so concentrated on it that it seems more defined than everything else in your peripheral vision. I can focus just as well without that zoom. So really I don't care if it's put in PR, but I kind of hope not.

I don't really think it's necessary

If you need that extra bit of zoom, move your head closer to your monitor. 
I always do that in Red Orchestra, strains your neck after a while though.

I personally asked for it to be removed for the sake of realism. And I'm happy that PR decided to move in that direction. I don't think slight zoom for representing human eyes focusing on object is not correct way to depict vision on FPS game.

Yeah, just a little zoom which will simulate the human's focus, because IRL you can make your eye focus on a designated place.

The reason I'd take an ironsight kit over a scoped kit is only one: CQC.
If I'm clearing a building, I want a large field of view, NOT any zoom.

If you need your eye to focus just do it in front of monitor.

So looking closer at the monitor is going to increase the number of pixels creating the object you're attempting to shoot and henceforth increase visual clarity, much as focussing on it in real life would? Nope don't kid yourself, apples and oranges.
Looking at the screen closer /= a better image.

small zoom would help a great deal especially for people on smaller monitors or lower resolution like 0.5x or 0.25x IRL iron sights work up to 300-400 meters in game its hard to see things past 50.
putting your head closer to your monitor = fried eyes

Re: Small zoom when aiming with ironsights, not a chance at all ?
As the OP is fully aware, this has been suggested many times before. If it was something PR wanted to include then it would have been done some time ago, we're not going to start doing things just because FH2 has done it.
