Why is the Helios so drastically BAD?

[JudgementDayIsHere]

I've played the game for a while, and I aquired the 45-70 since the ammunition was less expensive than the .270 while packing a bigger punch. This is when I realized that the Helios scope has such an astronomically bad sight picture that I can almost not even use it. For some reason the Gamma (in game) setting for the sight is way too low and the edges of the sight have a large dimmed gradient that only the middle is very useful. I'm disappointed because with my marginal eyesight, I literally cannot even use the sight unless if it is pointing in the direction of the sun's lightbox.

This leads me on to my other gripe about sights, why can't most sights be interchangable in this day and age with multiple mounts? If that isn't possible, then why not add more sights and scopes for all existing weapons to add a bit of variety?

Yeah the tint. Makes it useless at night.
Don't know why they gave it that dark tint. I think they wanted it to look old timey.
but it just penalises the lever guns some more.
Would be nice if had an option for the tint. On or Off

Just in case you're curious, a while back I did a quick comparison of all the scopes.

The Helios is a scope for Lever-actions only and looks like this zoomed in at 50M

Thanks dude.
That kinda shows it PicSoul. The Helios is the darkest and during night time, it's almost impossible to use. Especially in heavy bush areas.
It's nice during the day, and does give the scope some personality.
Maybe during night time, the tint could be given a fade on it's effect, maybe.
Just makes me wish we could customise the recticles a bit. I really like the Helios style, would like to be able to put it on the Hyperion.

My issue is that my computer cannot run the game at Ultra, which I suppose makes the Helios actually usable. I physically cannot see anything through the scope besides the red recticle and anything within it.
