This has bothered me since it was introduced - it was in 1.0 if I recall correctly.
Ironsight mouse sensitivity is just too high compared to scope sensitivity. It's impossible to find a nice middle point.
If I try to find a sweet spot for ironsight sensitivity, scopes become garbage at low and even middle range - adjusting my aim after each shot becomes a pain as well, thanks to the super low sensitivity.
On the other hand, if I try and make scoped weapons generally useful at all ranges, ironsights become too fast and floaty, rendering unconventional forces very frustrating to play.
I know this is BF2 engine and it's impossible to fine-tune sensitivity in the game settings and it only makes me wonder why they messed with it in the first place. Sensitivity was great pre-1.0, everything had a balanced feel to it. Nowadays I just set my sensitivity accordingly to perform better with a scope and avoid unconventional forces like the devil.
Does anyone else feel the same?

Try working with your mouse DPI. My mouse (Logitech G500s) has a DPI adjust button. I can switch from high DPI to low DPI with a single click.

Just use a aim bot like I do.
You have to ask yourself " is the juice worth the squeeze" ?

Use lower mouse sensitivity, alternatively mouse acceleration (yuck!)

no kidding, try to press both C and the RMB at the same time, but do that only if your sensitive is f* up

I use slow mouse settings, they render you much more accurate, and strain your hand less. Fast mouse speed is only useful for shitty games like CS or Planetside where ADHD fueled reaction is a core selling point.
