Scopes and Zoom

[Heatofbattle 49]

So does anyone know what the actual zoom and the intended zoom of all the current scopes(including hunting) are?

For example, I read the Long Range only zooms to 7.5x rather the intended 8x, and that the ACOG and PSO-1 don't zoom as far as intended either. I also saw a video in which someone said that the new hunting scope was supposed to have 2 levels of zoom but only has one currently. Don't have any info whatsoever on PU and others.

Thanks!

It depends on the character's eye zoom. Which since 0.55 has been reduced to ridiculously low levels, IMO. And iron sights are now inconsistent as well, they now provide extra zoom.

 

So comparing these scopes to bare eyes in ARMA 2, ARMA 3/DayZ 0.54, and DayZ 0.55 respectively:

 

LRS ARMA 2 = 5x

LRS ARMA 3/DayZ 0.54 = 7.5x

LRS DayZ 0.55 = 10.5x

 

PSO-1 ARMA 2 = 2.5x

PSO-1 ARMA 3/DayZ 0.54 = 3.75x

PSO-1 DayZ 0.55 = 5.25x

 

PU ARMA 2 = 1.39x

PU ARMA 3/DayZ 0.54 = 2.08x

PU DayZ 0.55 = 2.92x

 

ACOG ARMA 2 = 1.56x

ACOG ARMA 3/DayZ 0.54 = 2.34x

ACOG DayZ 0.55 = 3.28x

 

You can see zoom is very low compared to what we had in ARMA 2. I would go with the middle values for the scope zoom... 0.55 characters are now myopic and inconsistent, hopefully this will be changed back to the old values. Also, in 0.56 Exp. the hunting scope and LRS are the same as the PU but this looks like a bug to me.
