Lack of scopes for long range weapons is a problem and suggestions for new scopes.

[Izaac Howe 4]

Recently the developers added some new long-range rifles to the game such as the VS-89 and the DMR but these rifles lack long range optics. They can only use scopes that can be set to 6x magnification while hunting rifles can be set to use up to 12x magnification with use of the hunting scope which are far superior when it comes to sniping. The majority of people will easily choose a hunting rifle over a VS-89 due to the poor optics. This could be changed by adding new scopes which would make snipers that use NATO optics compete with hunting rifles. It is unusual how the more common hunting rifles are superior to the rarer and harder to obtain, military snipers that use NATO optics. An example of an optic that I believe would fit into the game is the PKS-07 Scope which has a 7x magnification and is usually found on SV-98 Rifles (VS-89). It has similar design to the PSO-1 and the PSO-1-1 already found in-game. An example of a long-range optic for the DMR I found was the ART II (Adjustable Ranging Telescope) scope which can be found in Arma Reforger. It has a magnification of up to 9x and is able to attach onto M14 style weapons which I believe the DMR was based on. Another idea is the use of attachable rails for the AK platform. This would allow for larger optics to be attached to the VSD which is limited to the PSO-1 and PSO-1-1's 4x magnification. Another change I would like to see is the rarity of the night vision optics (1PN51 and NV-PVS4) decrease resulting in more people using them. They are a cool addition to the game but I never find anyone using them and by the time I do eventually find one, I already most-likely have Night Vision Goggles. Thank you for your time.

I definently support the PKS-07 scope, but I think the 12x scope on hunting rifles only balances the game.

 

imagine if every kitted player had DMRs and KAMs with 12x magnification. This forces players to chose wether they want a weapon with a longest viable range, or a weapon that is still good at close quarters.

I think the more realistic they make the guns, the better. I would love if they made an attachtment system, and added stuff like taking time to take scopes off, needing a screwdriver or a wedgelike tool to apply certain attachments, and things like the 10x scope specifically for the SVD, and other things, like maybe being able to take apart weapons the way they are in real life and clean or apply them from there. maybe you can find different barrel lenghts and stocks and whatnot on different weapons and be able to take apart and mix and match?
