Automatically zoom out (optics) when reloading
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

When using optics (e.g. the Sniper Optical Sights, ARCO, RCO, etc) and reloading, the weapon is reloaded with the Optics up. While this behaviour is OK for Holosights or other sigths which do not fill up the entire screen (e.g. alternate close-range sights of RCO) because the player can still look at the spot he aimed at, it is not OK for optics filling up the wrong screen:

  1. It is (physically) impossible to look through sniper optics while reloading.
  2. You basically look at the sky and don't see anything useful. You sometimes even unintendedly move your aim away from the spot you aimed before.

My suggestion:
For sights which fill the whole screen, automatically zoom out. Behaviour for other sights stays the same.
