Well... I enjoy playing with optics or as a spotter/scout. Meaning I use binocs tons and I use the map for marking what I see. IF I do not exit optics, open map, close map, raise weapon and then zoom, I lose sight of the area I was targeting.

It is also strange to have to raise my weapon before using optics. It would be better if you were unable to zoom in when the weapon is lowered than the way it is now.
