Sgt.Oddball 71 Posted February 23, 2014 Will probably get a zoom more akin to the LRS. When I have one I mostly use it to scope out a town before heading in. Much better than standard zoom as it seems to allow you to look through windows if your not too far out. (windows stop being see through at a certain distance).

Ineedscoffee 464 Posted February 23, 2014 Honestly, I'm reallllly praying they allow us to use binos to spot for our sniper buddies. I hope they are intricate enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicko2580 398 Posted February 23, 2014 Binocs would want to zoom a shitload more than the current zoom. I'd be hoping for a minimum of 7x50.The current zoom isn't even zoom. It's supposed to represent the natural ability of your eyes to focus on distant objects. There's another thread about this in gen discussion already that explains it better. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

herrjon 478 Posted February 23, 2014 You mean the "zoom" feature that lets you see 1x magnification? It's simply just real sight, whereas the "un-zoomed" sight is actually less than 1x. Even not considering that, binos would zoom in considerably more. Under your argument, what would we the point of having sniper scopes or ACOG and the like in Arma? People can zoom in while aiming down iron sights. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soulfirez 901 Posted February 23, 2014 We dont have a zoom or normal vision is represented in 2 views the retracted to give us peripheral view ( less than we actually have) and the focused which gives us our normal at range view it is infact 1x magnification lol...This is done as they cant simulate the human vision very well on a flat screen when we get very wide curved screens there will be no reason for this zoom as you call it.. But yes waiting on binocs.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djporternz 644 Posted February 23, 2014 Have had the opportunity to play DayZ and ArmA3 on a large screen triple-head display. Very impressive set up. Well out of my current financial abilities, but would be my dream set up. Probably not going to get 7x. Probably more likely 4x~6x. But would be nice to get a decent rangefinder for spotter for sure.

gibonez 3633 Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) Watch, they are bugged at 1x at first. You know it buddy. They need to fix the FOV and zoom levels asap . BTW the lowest Magnification I have seen on Military Binoculars is 10x. Some are 20x on newer binoculars. Under 10x you might find if you look for ww2 or ancient binoculars.
