Focal Zoom

A little zoom on all hendheld weapons (esp. the deployed LMGs) would be nice to simulate the focus of the eye on one point. I don't know if this has been considered, but the search didn't show any results.

I believe I can remember... many years ago the weapons had zoom. Is there any reason it was removed?
I mean the PR ARMA 2 guys want to keep it because they think its realistic. Maybe a reintroduction should be considered.

Because not all weapons have Zoom / scopes .. sucha s iron sights - NO SCOPE = no zoom :) ...

This is a resuggestion.

From what I remember, the reasoning is to help create the usability difference between irons/scopes more, similar to real life.

Sure, lack of pixel precision is annoying, but... they are iron sights. The limitation of the monitor, imho, also serves as a representation of real life. In short: lack of great precision at range[more so if you're running on 800x600 resolution ;) ]

I understand there are varying viewpoints though
