Improved Iron Sights

[TJD]

I would like to see an improvement in the way the game implements iron sights. "Shoulder firing" or ADS, as the game calls it, is OK but doesn't give the right feel or look or, it seems, potential for accuracy. I would like to see an actual, historically accurate visual of the sights, in the way you get in Battlefield 1 for example, and even the option to use them exclusively. Most of the shots you take in game do not require telescopic sights; they are far too close. The average kill distance is about 25m and at that range a 6x scope is not only silly but often a liability. More importantly, though, a real iron sights option would create a new level of challenge. It's pretty easy to get a 200m kill with a 6x Nagant but a higher order of marksmanship is required if all you have is a notch on a flat leaf or a peep sight. Simo Hayha sniped 500 Russians using just plain iron sights like these and I would like to have an improved chance to try something like that in the next Sniper Elite.

This is something I thought of some time ago too.

implementing iron sights sounds good as a replacement for shoulder aim, and some snipers seem to have favored iron sights (or target sights) over telescopic sights, because there's no glint, no image distortion under certain circumstances, and so on.

Count me in too, I want iron and target sights into the next game.

Will add it to my wishlist thread soon as well.

Cheers.

I'd be happy if my character didn't obscure my view at times when aiming down the shoulder.
Needs some tweaking at the very least.
