6x-3x T Scope, 6x-3x Red Ring Scope, and 6x-3x DOS Scope suggestions to revise
Hi devs,

Great game. Combat is very fluid, and the latest CTE has some features that really take it to the next level.

My main suggestion is to change the functionality of these three new scopes slightly in order to make the player experience better. Since the U.S. military is moving to low powered variable optics (1x-n power), how about making these scopes 6x-1x instead? That way, players won't be at such a disadvantage in close quarters, and this will better reflect the actual capabilities of modern day LPVO's. There is basically no fisheye effect at 1x on quality LPVO's and the eyebox is huge (there is almost no perceptible scope shadow except with one's eye pretty far outside the exit pupil). These new LPVO's are replacing red dots for many situations since they can be just as fast if not faster in most situations, as evidenced by their dominance in the 3-gun and related carbine competitions.

Also, would you consider adding the option to look through the scope, hold down F, then spin the mouse wheel to change zoom on the sniper rifle scopes?

Keep up the good work.

Hey noose,

I'm not in disagreement about your first comment if the devs limited these scopes purely as a gameplay tool. However, they also now have 4x-1x scopes, which accomplish exactly what I'm proposing but at a lower zoom level, so I'm not convinced they thought this through all the way. I'm suggesting they make a 6x-1x version, which would limit marksmen to a tighter field of view versus 4x, but still allow close quarters capabilities for more realism.

What I'm basically saying is the 6x-3x zoom decision seems very arbitrary when one takes into consideration that the 4x-1x exists now. I mean...who would ever choose the 6x-3x? Why handicap those scopes if other low / hi zoom options exist for the player to choose?

What do you think?
