Doubt that is a good idea, after all, weapons in FH2 are already pretty accurate.

Yeah, it issent needed. i KNOW that you the zooming in can be explained by soldiers moving there eye closer to the sights. But i doubt very few did this in WW2. The way they trained me to handle bolt action rifles, is to open the bolt completly, and make sure my face is NOT touching the bolt. In case of a locking lug failure, the bolt can slam backwards, and if your face is there..............

Sometimes they feel too accurate, in fact! :P

The only thing good with zoom is that your eyes suffer less...

I dont really like the zoom for the guns, especially the rifles. If you wanted a zoom for the rifle, go look for a sniper rifle. The infantry rifles are  already accurate as they are, the rifle zoom just makes them a poor man's sniper rifle.

Removing zoom in all weapons except sniper rifles (and other weapons with optic sights obviously) would be great, aiming would become harder so it would reduce long range kills a little.

Also it will make kills much more rewarding in terms of your ability to shoot, like shooting at an enemy from far range with no zoom capabilities and actually hitting the enemy. I'd be like "I did that" with a large grin on my face.

That's just silly. The so called "far ranges" are something like 300-400m in FH2. That's easy shot with rifle irl. Zoom just compensates the poor resolution of our screens compared to what we see irl.

+1

I agree to remove sight zoom only when most of us run will run the game on 15360*8640 pixel monitors.

Please post video of you shooting a man sized figure at this range with ease. (delivering a lethal hit)
people actually strugle with an HK416 at 200m standing.. in other words, i call Bullshit.

i have the highest decoration a drafted soldier can get in he's first year service 86/94 of 100points standing, crouch and prone. 10 shots 200m timed. hk416 and g3a3.

<cough>  Range training for German soldiers was man sized targets at 200, 600, and 1000m.
