Scope zooms are not thought out quite well.
Acknowledged, WishlistPublic

Description

The zoom levels on most of the scopes seemed to have changed. I'm not sure if this is intentionally or not and i sort of like this, but there's a few issues with it if it is meant to be like this:

  • some scopes now have 2x magnification, which can also be aqquired by zooming in with a collimator sight. i reccomend changing this to 4x, like the real life ACOG or maybe 3.4x.
  • The LRPS has a bit too few magnification, should be like 30-40x if you ask me
  • The DMS and MOS have a bit too few magnification as well.

Are you going by the ingame descriptions for the magnifications? If so, those are wildly inaccurate and need to be cleaned up. The DMS for example doesn't have the 2x-4x magnification it claims in the description, but rather 6x-12x.

40x? That's ridiculous. Most tactical long range scopes have variable zoom somewhere around 5x-25x

i was talking about the ingame stats indeed, and 40x scopes deffinetly are used in reality

Ho yeah? Give me one reference of someone that uses a 40x scope in a tactical situation. Just look at major scope manufacturers' (Schmidt & Bender, Nightforce, US optics, etc) LE/Military scopes, you'll find out. Don't argue on this.

Scopes with this much magnification only serve to shoot paper targets, or prairie dogs.

40x is a good magnification for a spotting scope. Not a rifle scope.

longe range sniping, used on anti-materiel rifles.

Hahahaha! Amazon.com reference... Splendid.

Which one? The $89 Barska? The $79 Ultimate Arms Gear? C'mon, get serious.

40x lol What is he shooting an F class bench rest match ?

High end on magnification scopes top off at around 25x.

im getting to old for this shit, go ask someone who's answer you thrust.
