Hello again.
Just to clarify.
The infected hearing has been increased for this update. This has been intentional decision by the devs.

@WeirdXone Yes sorry, I just wanted to point out how many threads were created regarding this same issue. If that didn't work, I can't say I have the patience to keep trying. I hope my final attempt at trying to understand why this decision was made didn't go unnoticed. See ya through my ATOG boys..

After over a month of constant feedback through this tracker (multiple threads), the DayZ discord, Steam community, and Twitter, we still do not have an adequate optic for the new VS-98 rifle added in 1.25. I know the devs are aware of this issue and was hoping this would be resolved by the time the update rolled out. This leads me to believe that it is a deliberate decision by the devs to restrict the capabilities of the new rifle. It is unclear why this level of incompetence is on display, the community and myself especially would like any clarification. Failure of clarification can only lead me to believe this as a case of developer negligence. The current state of long-range sniping is abysmal at best.

I've tried to bring up this clear issue that the new sniper does not have an adequate optic, my previous threads were marked as resolved and then duplicate. The devs don't seem to want to hear this type of feedback.

Hello 778.
Russian firearms are fairly common to have picatinny adapters and some even coming out of the factory with a picatinny rail already. As designed.
