So far the ability to use binoculars when deployed with a weapon or in the driver and passenger seat of vehicles is superb. Its a feature I've wanted for so long and is extremely useful. The only one area its missing is on static weapons!
I've found myself in many situations with static weapons where I had to dismount in order to get better optics. I'm sat in a game right now on a humvee watching over a long dirt road on Arland where I wish I could have it right now!
Hop in static weapon or vehicle turret.
Try use binos ; _ ;
We can use compass (and clock) while turret control, which like binoculars one-hand needed. Seems strange unable to use the binoculars I suppose.
When we have binoculars in our hand and go sit in the turret, the bino will remain in our hand and can be used
Surprisingly, if you hold the binoculars on your second hand before you go into a turret, then use the turret, you will be able to use the binoculars (like it is supposed to be). BUT the moment you take off the binoculars, while using the turret, you will not be able to use the binos again.. Which is something that does not make sense.
