When playing as an infantryman TrackIR sensitivity decreases when you zoom in. The limits for head movement are reduced to about 45 degrees either way rather than 90+, and the sensitivity of the head tracking is reduced. This does not happen in vehicles, nor when you deploy your weapon (e.g. bipod).

I hope this is not a deliberate change but only a bug and will be fixed as soon as possible. Head tracking is not something that should be tempered with.

I also noticed this. It's really annoying and makes using the TrackIR a pain. And with your weapon up and targeting with your scope you can't look left or right properly anymore.
In addition: turning your head on a quad makes your head moving upwards too. So looking over your shoulder will make you look about 30° up.
Zoom-in feels a lot less amplified (could be fixed by turning up the amplification in the trackIR setting)

I actually liked this feature when zoomed in with head tracking. It was way too jerky while in a 3D scope and felt more natural to have a reduced sensitivity and range of head motion since you are in a zoomed view. If I want to look around I'll just go out of irons view.
How do you replicate this "bug" in the latest dev build since it works well for me as infantry? Could we have this as an option?

Yeah. I also liked that feature for zoomed scopes. I really got annoyed as I found out that in the release version of Apex, it was gone.

So the current stat is, like it was before APEX Update.
It is now like headtracking was before. You can zoom in and rotate your head. Also in Zoomed 3D scopes now you are not limited in head turning like it was before Apex.
What Goldennugget and I liked in the dev-preview is, that the sensitivity was reduced when aiming through a zoomed 3D scope, and that your head-turning was limited to about 20° per direction while looking through it.
Also when zooming in normal view, and you rotated more than about 20° the zoom got slowly less until no zoom.
So this means, that the reported bug may be fixed, but the feature was pretty cool. As sensitivity decreased while looking through zoomed scopes. made aiming easier, as the view wasn't that twitchy while aiming.
@razazel: May it be possible to find a tradeoff between old and dev build? So that the function for 3D scopes will be implemented, but the rest will remain as before, as some people seem not to like the whole new function?
