When using the PSO-1-1 scope on AKM, AK-74, SVD, VSS Vintorez, or AK-101 rifles, the reticle cannot easily be seen. It is difficult to aim at most targets in various lighting conditions due to this issue.

1 - Find an AKM, AK-74, SVD, VSS Vintorez, or AK-101.
2 - Find a PSO-1-1 scope (PSO-1 scope presumed to have this issue if they use similar reticles, unconfirmed - I was not able to find a PSO-1 scope yet for testing)
3 - Attach a PSO-1-1 scope to the aforementioned rifle
4 - Aim down the reticle. It is difficult to use most of the scope's intricate features unless aiming against a brightly lit background or distant brightly lit horizon. Utilization of the built-in range finder for this scope is difficult at best.
1 - The scope is accurately modeled in-game and the overall design is good.
2 - The *only* requested change is to make the scope reticle markings darker.
For examples, an in-game PSO-1 looks like this:
Whereas with a real-life PSO-1, the markings are much, much clearer (and thicker):
Notice in the screenshot above the markings are easily distinguishable and would be visible against any backdrop. It would be very easy to quickly line up a target, gauge their approximate range using the range finder, and line up a shot. The vertical chevrons are likewise clearly visible.
Finally, here is a clear (no background) image of the same scope:
CONCLUSION:
In the previous two images, the PSO-1 reticle is clearly visible and easy to use. The current in-game implementation is difficult to use and requires a brightly lit background to use effectively. This could easily be remedied by darkening and slightly thickening the current reticle design. These changes should be applied to the PSO-1-1 and PSO-1 scopes if they are using similar reticle designs. Consideration should also be paid to the "Kashtan" scope so as to maintain a uniform appearance.
