Sniper scope bigger then head

[Astromici]

The sniper... Provider of intel... Lord of the long range skill...

Has to aim for the body because most times, the head is smaller then the sights, especially for the American and MEC rifles. Shouldn't sniper rifles be customlized by the sniper and not be a standard issue sight? Any ideas how we might fix this? Or should we not fix it and leave the sniper struggeling to make a kill with a 600 meter shot?

I dunno about customisation of scopes, you would have to ask R-DEV Gaz who is a sniper, but I don't understand your suggestion, you want different sights for snipers, or you want different custom sights for both sniper kits in game? Please expand.

I think he means that the crosshairs are too big and obscure the target. Which can depend on the resolution you're playing at. From the mod end, you can't really do anything about it other than increase the scope magnification.

[single.shot (nor)]

the M40 has the best crosshairs. i see them as the most realistic of them all, cus it has range markers and soforth. all scopes should have similiar markings

if you make the crosshair smaller, then you would need anti-aliasing to see it, if you are still able to -.-

I gather you're talking about crosshairs. As Zoddom says, I am pretty sure that to go any smaller, pixel wise for the artists on the team, it'd force users to have certain graphics settings. Meaning we'd have to up our basic recommended settings or class it as a bug.

Unless you're SF, you wouldn't be into swapping out scopes either tbh.

Cross hairs of a scope can cover the target in RL more so at longer range.

A "thick" cross hair is something like 1MOA, 1" at 100yrds/10" at 1000yrds, 5" at 500yrds, 2" at 200yrds. Longer range competition shooters consider .75MOA to still be too thick, covering too much of their target.

I don't know how thick the cross hairs are on any sniper system's rifle.

as i said upstairs... its not possible to make the crosshairs as thin as in real life
