0004909: 3d scopes zoom inconsistency.

Notes
(0009169) reyhard (administrator) 2019-03-20 11:58	Well, AZ on ACOGs is there to simulate situational awerness you have with that open scope 1P29 is now using wrong eye memory point for 3d variant and normally it looks like this https://imgur.com/a/YvhAcpd [^] G33 & PSO doesn't have AZ due to technical issues - either tunel vision would be too obvious or open mesh could be spotted. RMB is used anyway to hold breath action so you have to use it anyway if you want to fire at target accurately. Personally I think removing that AZ would be bad idea since it's really breaking the feel of scope & RMB makes sense since it's sort of focus mode.

Maybe it does not happen in the Arsenal, but in a tense firefight scenario it does happen very often. On medium distances (350-500) RHS vests and headgear do not render at about 450-500 in zoomed out mode, so when suddenly zoomed out you loose your target because it changes shape, and sometimes color as uniform underneath might be different color to the vest. As for awareness you still do see around the edges. Scope with removed AZ does not have to be at maximum zoom but somewhere in the middle just enough to see the marks. Difference between this and zoomed out is only about 1cm narrower FOV from each side. If you have trackIR you are not restricted in any way and can turn your head away from scope AZ or no AZ.

If there is issue with it then its something that could be fixed instead of changing zoom. What about people without track or? I'm also wondering if zoom toggle on numpad is not enough (+). Anyway I could definitely tweak some of the initial zoom levels but I don't see complet removal of it.

The (-) key on the numpad can be used for awareness. Like Vanilla ACO scope has some positive zoom from initial with the (+) key and some negative zoom with the (-) key, RHS 4x scopes do not have negative zoom (at least those I checked before typing this)

Of course it isn't zoom at all but rather simulates the human eye's full ability in a way that cannot be represented on a screen (detail perception plus a wide-FOV). Barring technical reasons I think the initial zoom should always be the same as the default FOV. If holding is a pain I believe there are key binds available to toggle instead and mods such as; https://forums.bohemia.net/forums/topic/211214-weaponsights-zoom/ [^]
