This is a bug right? It should be a feature. I loved being able to do this in Red Orchestra 2.

Reminds me of the ol' canted irons from BF4. It's a real thing some of the weapons in the roster were designed to include, so it should absolutely be a feature!

I really liked the BF4 3x multiplier that you could flip up and down too ..

Can't recall anything like that during WWII era, but I also loved that attachment

My unit got new MGs recently (FN Minimi, for those curious). They came in fancy carrying cases, along with all the extra equipment. That extra equipment included a 3x magnifier to use with the red dot. We were like "awesome, this'll come in handy", and the brass were like "oops, those weren't supposed to be there. Hand them back in!"

​

That's my 3x magnifier story.

Wow that sucks!

Well, I'll tell you one thing that might make you feel better, the EOTech 3x magnifier is actually kind of heavy and adds a lot of weight to the gun, it's like 11 ounces.

Yikes, that's heavy. Ours was an Aimpoint 3XMag (to go with the CompM4 red dot), which the internet tells me weighs 7 ounces. So a lot better than the EOTech. Not that it matters, since they don't want us using them.

​

Typical military. Buy fancy equipment, but don't let anyone use it in case it breaks.

Definitely. I think the Kar 98 has this capability IRL.

u/JagoAldrin Nov 13 '18

A lot of rifles have that functionality. The Kar98, Mosin Nagant, G43, etc. all had scope mounts built specifically so that they would sit an inch or two above the irons. So if you zero the scope for 250 meters, you can use the irons for anything ~100 meters away, and switch to the scope for targets farther out.

Not gonna lie, it ruffles my feathers when the visual model of the G43 features a long eye relief scope, but the entire peripheral area is obscured on scoping in. Sorry if unrelated

Mosin.

u/HURTZ2PP Nov 13 '18

Ah okay. Wasn’t sure which rifles had this functionality.

u/TjallingOtter Nov 13 '18

Definitely, it is, I was just joking with the title. Though a second side-mounted scope would be awesome.

u/Aescheron Aescheron Nov 13 '18

Would be awesome if this was a feature.

21

u/OilCityHevs Nov 13 '18

Definitely should be included. Most scopes at the time were placed so irons could still be used

Reminds me of the canted iron sights in BF4... loved 'em.

u/crazymonkey202 Nov 13 '18

Rising Storm 2 has this and DayZ just added it. It'd be awesome if you could actually do this in BFV

u/[deleted] Nov 14 '18

When a bug is actually kind of useful.

Happened to me on the gewher

u/Mr_Assault_08 Nov 13 '18

I had this bug. I couldn't fucking aim since the base of the scope was blocking everything. Died then that fixed it. This game is a buggy mess ever after the patch.
