Yeah it's a common problem with scopes, at close enough ranges it zooms in too hard and becomes unwieldy, but if you have no backup sights your only option is to hipfire. In real life that's not usually an issue but some manufacturers acknowledge this by putting small ironsights on the scope, and there are manufacturers that produce offset ironsights specifically for this purpose.

It'ds be more realistic, but I'm not sure if it would be good for gameplay-balance.
If these sights were implemented, there'd be no reason to ever not take the huge 4x scope.

Scopes should have an up and downside, I feel, for the huge situational advantage they bring.
Increased precision at long range, clumsy at close range - only feels natural.

The downside of a scope is its cost. I never buy any optics for my guns so I can put those points towards actually important gear. And even as a sniper you don't need optics in this game. With a 1440p/4k monitor you have enough clarity to snipe with just ironsights, and even on 1080p that's not a stretch.

Just like in real life, eh? The only scenario where you actually need a magnifying scope is if you're making half a mile or longer shots. Hence assault rifles, with effective range of about 500 yards, come with bare ironsights. Until recently, AKs didn't even had any railings whatsoever, you were expected to use irons for all ranges.

not really some guys don't use ironsight and prefer X2 or X4 optics like the trijicon acog or the specter dr even some russian use po-4 scope or 1P78 but its sure they prefer to use ironsigts in CQC

the kind of people I see who us 2x magnifiers are the ones who crouch walk through the entire map and usually end up entering the objective as last man standing.

seriously ♥♥♥♥ these people.

Taking it slow I can tolerate. But crouching all the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ time is unaceptable.
Especially when you're clearing buildings.
