IFA3 WeaponSights Zoom
By Gunter Severloh

Description
When you look down the Iron sights of any infantry weapon in IFA3 AIO some
of the sights are very small, making it challenging to hit anything, so ingame you have
to press your zoom button which brings the sights closer.

What this addon does is, it will zoom the Iron sights automatically which eliminates the need
for you to have to press your zoom button.

This works for all German, Russian, (American) infantry weapons.
The weapons include the following:
- Rifles
- Semi-Rifles
- Submachine guns
- Machine guns
- Pistols
- AT launchers - Panzerschreck, Panzerfaust, & Bazooka
======================

Hi, Thank you for responding. Yes sir, you are correct. However, I have verifySignatures = 2; for the purposes of restricting all non pre-approved WW2 mods on my server. You have to keep players honest, you know :) If it's a hassle, don't worry about it. I just like this so much I wanted to bring it into the circle of trust. Either way, Thank you for making this mod.

Mod can run client side and you'll still see the zoom ingame on the server, no need to sign or have a bikey for it, try that first.

Hello Sir! Would you please update this mod to include a server key. Thank you for all that you have done for us.

I do agree with your side of it, and I can relate in some way, even though that I do play very hard core realistically, I hate how it is hard to aim in a video game V.S. real life, plus I have a shitty video card so I have no choice but to zoom in to hit tiny specs that I would have seen clearly and farther distances in reality, and realism takes a long time to process.

No extra mods needed would mean you would need to script it so that every mission you play/build that, that function would be in there.
Personally i like the way this zooms, im not a realism, accuracy fanatic as much as i appreciate it, its just not possible to do for me with this, to busy with other projects.
Suggest asking someone on Bis forums to put together a script for you that will do what your looking to do.

i just want what the real guns have, which is the ability to flip the iron sight to the next size if the gun as one, like the AR guns, the M-4 rifle, it has a small one, and when you flip it, a larger size pops out, same set up like when you zero your sights, just add the ability to adjust the iron sight to go to the next size up, no extra mods needed

Thank you! If you guys have my IFA3WarMod which i plan to rebuild and put on steam sometime this addon is already in it, so if you have my mod then you dont need this.
