Sniper rifle scopes and NVGs

[-=Grunt=- (DayZ) 0]

If any of you guys know the changes to the guns of OA where you can't use NVGs while looking through a sniper rifle's scope... Then you'll get the idea.

What I would like to propose is exactly this but for the ArmA 2 (Non OA) weapons such as the DMR and others I can't remember.

This would make it harder for people with NVGs to just snipe other people at night.

This also opens up a new array of possible weapons - Night vision scoped ones introduced by OA such as the FN Fal AN/PVS-4 and SVD NSPU.

Useless at day, great at night.

I support this idea! Would also be cool if we could pick up scopes and keep in our backpack and attach to rifles and AR's.

This. A weapon modding feature like STALKER would make me cream my pants a bit.

Arma 3 will have the option to swap weapon attachments.

This game doesnt support weapon mods i think.

I may be reading wrong...but you cant use NVG's down the scope at present.

With the old ArmA 2 weapons (DMR and M24 woodland (The one we get in DayZ)) you can wear NVGs and look down the scope.

Really? Dammit, I shouldnt have thrown that M24 away!

I'm in support of this.

You could still bypass the system by creating all models and scopes attached variants

Yep... Bandits' favorite weapon - DMR. Just 'cause you can look through the scope with NVGs.

I think having separate models would make the mod's size much bigger. I don't think the devs want to add in ARs with ACOG sights and such so yeah... It'd be nice to have more flashlight or laser attachments on weapons though.

One could just duct tape a flashlight onto a rifle.

Easiest solution? For Rocket to remove old Arma2 weapons with scopes, leave only Arma2 OA weapons with scopes (which are unusable with NVGs on, like in RL). Perhaps leave a few rare scoped night weapons FN FAL AN/PVS-4 and SVD NPSU (which have permanent NV scopes, making them unusable during daylight). It really ruins the play if the old models where you can look into scope with NVGs are still used.

^ I guess he could do that too.

View distance is 500 meters so zeroing won't matter much.
