Description

Even nowadays binoculars with integrated compass are available. In the future setting of ArmA3 this feature should be believable enough to justify implementation. I suggest futuristic optical devices should come with a built-in compass because it makes calling out targets easier.

Agreed. Some models of Steiner binoculars have had a built-in compass since the mid-80's, at least.

+1, and maybe add a rangefinder (for later zeroing)

Mass closing ancient tickets with no activity for > 12 months; assume fixed or too trivial.

If this issue is still relevant in current dev build, please re-post.
