Recurve Bow aiming down sights - No crosshair

[Skinner]

Hi,

So I'm not sure if this is actually a known bug or a feature, but here it is:

When aiming down sights in First Person with any of the recurve bows, the little white dots disappears completely, regardless of the archery lever. I don't mean it stays for a second, but it's gone instantly when drawing the bow. I don't think this is supposed to happen, since the only way to aim at something would be 3rd person, and that has 0% accuracy. Also, the compound bow is the exact opposite, it has working sights, but when drawing in 3rd person the white crosshair disappears instantly.

Speaking of which, I think it would make more sense for the compound bow to have different zoom levels depending on the sights we're using, eg. 1 Pin - 1.5x, 3 Pin - 2x and 5 Pin - 4x (just an example). It would make sights more modular and would make aiming it in close quarters at least a bit viable.

Thank you for taking the time to read this!

The dot disappearing is intentional, to mimic the fact that you wouldn't have one with a recurve bow. It will take longer (though it only lasts about a second at the highest skill level) to disappear as your archery skill goes up.

Why would the compound bow have zoom? Lol there isn't even a piece of glass in the optic... I mean maybe they could add one that has zoom but these bows aren't really meant for extensive ranges where zoom is needed if you want zoom put an acog sight on the Blackhawk crossbow

Currently the Compound bow has 4x zoom by default regardless of the optic used.
