Zooming and ADS

[dunadan]

I have one very annoying issue with the zoom right now which I am sure is just a bug.

I do have "disable non iron sight zooming" checked, however sometimes when I spawn it doesn't seem to stick as my FOV really narrows whenever I start running.

Moreover would it be possible to have an option to disable zoom while aiming down sight, and rather only zoom in while I hit the sprint key to hold my breath?

It seems more sensical for me to only zoom while focusing my aim rather than it being automatic whenever I raise my weapon, especially in CQB situations.

It was discussed a little bit here before...

What do you guys think?

yeah its a bug,...drop your weapon and pick it up again,it will fix it. :)

i like it how it is now(automatic),it is more natural to me,because i can move in iron sights without holding down a key.

but i agree there should be option to let the player choose what kind of zoom he wants:

A.) "automatic" iron sight zoom(you zoom in when you go to iron sights - like in the current beta)

or

B.) "manual" iron sight zoom (in iron sight there is NO zoom until you hit "shift" ,only then you zoom in.)

You can't throw your main weapon though, unless you pick something on the ground.

Anyway yeah, agree. Although RO2 players might want both. Slight zoom when you ADS and then bigger zoom if your chose to by holding your breath.

I just don't like the zoom because it disturbs my sight picture in short and medium range and tries to commit me to some accurate shooting. While sometimes you just want to ads and shoot.

It's been a while but I don't think RO Ostfront had any zoom at least until you held your breath, Arma follows the same kind of mechanic which I prefer. Insurgency and DOI are like RO2 but you can disable the initial zoom while aiming down sight using a simple console command.

You can drop your primary but only if you've got a secondary. Riflemen don't get a secondary and I'm not sure if that's a good move or not.

I know ADS + Zoom has been discussed a lot but I agree here. The amount of zoom is fine by me, it's just how the zoom is implemented. I don't feel shouldering your weapon should automatically zoom you in but I guess that's a player preference thing.

For me, it's a gameplay/visual feedback thing. When you hit your focus/control breath button, getting a little bit of zoom (like you get right now automatically) gives a clear indication to the player that they're "focusing" in on a target and, at the same time, it dulls their peripheral vision, which is an adequate tradeoff.

Agreed. And like OP said, having the automatic zoom in a close quarters scenario is annoying and limits your peripheral view when it's most vital.

As for RO:Ostf, it actually does have a slight zoom when you ADS.
