@OP You don't realize ballistics or how guns work man. You can't just use whatever reticle you want and have it zeroed in. The reticles in the scopes are designed specifically for the chamber of the round. PSO-1 and PSO-1-1 is for 7.62x39m ammo. Those scopes have the (great)easy rangerfinder on them. But if you used it on an M4A1 that uses a 5.56m the reticle is useless.

Honestly, although I would like to see it, I don't believe using foliage or grass or any alpha masks as a tool to see which way the wind direction is. The engine definitly wouldn't be able to support the amount of rendering it would take; always constantly moving back and forth up and down. Even if the engine could run it, it would destroy even my PC which is let's say elite high-end. Since if I list the specs I know what will happen. Work demands a ton of modeling, editing, video capture, etc. As well as run 2 other PC's 1 being a server so yes my main desktop is insane. But don't wish to see 500 comments about how "I don't need that" when I do. I am alright with vague command like licking your finger to test the wind, but nothing too specific. Plus you have the clouds already so look up to help. If it is too specific even like "The wind feels like its coming from the East" then it shouldn't even be added since the simulator aspect would be lost. It should be like "I feel wind on my right" that way you can't use it as a compass or know the speed of the wind. At the moment the FOV zooming the scopes in makes the reticle useless, plus they are for fixed guns. A PSO-1 is only for 7.62x39m ammo e.g, SKS, SVD, AK-47, etc. However when you are sniping, you shouldn't be able to dial your windage bar perfectly by just your finger or the gesture. You should have to have an anemometer or a basic ambient weather tool in order to get the 500m+ shots with perfect windage/elevation. But aside from all that, they need to stop trying to implement more things. They need to fix the core mechanics. Guns ballistics are all wrong at the moment, same with scopes as mention above. Also look at this mod video (I love it) for ArmA 3. Gives a good idea of proper ballistics, scope, elevation, and wind working together. -> http://www.armaholic.com/page.php?id=20906
