'[R-CON wrote:Rudd;1241333']the only way afaik is to set 2 different weapons with different zoom characteristics.

I wanted that system myself, but its probably too complex to be fun, intuitive or easily understandable.

I applied the ironsight zoom animations to teh scope rifle to demonstrate the CQB mode method. (it would need new zoom animations to place the rifle to the right so that your view isn't completely obscured, I was thinking it would work exactly like the ironsight, except less accurate.

it has the advantages of allowing the player to move quickly, and get greater situational awareness, but it is a very convoluted system as its 2 ammo linked weapons like the LMG.

Herbiie wrote:DarkSide, sounds like you love the ACOG

but tbh I like it how if you are going to be in CQB you take ironsights/aimdot, if not you take ACOG, it means that those who are aware of their situation have an advantage of those who go "Woot ACOG".

P.S Darkside: Why is PR depicted as a 6 foot black dude?

'[R-CON wrote:Rudd;1241465']I think you are correct for the most part, though I don't have any sources to back that up atm apart from chats with various servicemen.

However the ironsight ingame should probably stay because 1) variation is the spice of life, 2) medics, but plz don't have that debate again here etc.

in my perfect world, unless someone comes up with a better idea the characteristics of the iron vs scope kits should be

Irons, accurate, but no zoom, extra incendiary grenades in some iron kits + maybe some other augmentations.

Scope,
undeployed - no zoom, less accurate than ironsight, but more accurate than hip fire
deploayed - zoom and accuracy as now
has to use 1 piece of equipment to fit the undeployed mode, so would say the loss of the binocs won't hurt much considering its got a x4 scope in the kit anyway. (and only irons carrying binos makes irons more useful and relevant, preserving the kit vs kit balance)

Though you might wanna have a go witht he current CA beta, as they've done some tweaks to how the scope behaves. Combined Arms : PR Add-On for juxtopposition
