If you get binoculars, you only view binoculars, for normal view need get again the weapon. Add binoculars with two positions, lowered and aimed, similar of ACE2, but in this case lowered is binocular hands down, no aiming.
Is very annoying not being able to down the binoculars.
This is nearly a bug as both main weapons and sidearms now respond to lower weapon command (Default: dbl-clk CTRL). It would be common sense and very useful to be able to lower binoculars similarly.
I seem to remember this being an option in a mod (ACE?), and thought it was awesome at the time. No reason we shouldn't have it here.
