long range zoom in bug / exploit

[desryachri 95]

Not sure if this has been reported yet or if it is a feature..

 

+ and - keys on the nunber pad act as zoom in / zoom out.

Grab a long range scope

You can view down the scope with one click of the right mouse button

You can zoom in further by then holding the right mose button.

Now when looking down the scope press the + on the number key it acts the same as holding the right mouse button down (other wise known as holding your breath).

 

The bug is when you hold hold the + key then hold your breath with the right mouse button and then release the + key first then the right mouse button.

Result is you remain zoomed in on the long range scope no need to hold your breath or hold the zoom in + key.

VERRY OP when sniping etc..

The zoom feature is also in Arma 2 and there's no need to press all the buttons like that. Just double tap + and it should stay zoomed in. The real   'zoom' exploit you should be reporting is the field of view exploit. Putting your FOV on it's lowest will result in a further zoom.

This isn't a bug, as said above, you should be able to just double tap "+" and keep it zoomed in, same as holding RMB. I don't see how that's OP or an exploit.

The age that features become bugs has started.

Hope they could make it 3d later on. And then just keep it zoomed in after all its a long range scope.
