Iron sights for sniper rifles

[McCloskey]

How about adding iron sights to sniper rifles? Like in RO2. It would be "simple", really - add another weapon slot with the exact same model (ie with scope), just change animation for that slot so that you don't aim through the scope, but through the sights. Then you can easily switch between them using the keys 3 and 4 (defaults). Would be cool to have that

 Not a bad idea,

 it would help when a sniper has enemy too close to engage using the weapon sight.

its perfectly possible, as the BAR had diffrent sights for ndiffrent firemodes before 2.35

Yep. I just checked our snipers and they all have usable iron sights apart from the M1903A4. It's a good suggestion.

Yep there was a marine corps version wich had the iron sights, but it was only used in the pacific

I approve of this idea! More stuff to cram into the next (pre) Eastern Front patch!

[AdamPA1006]

Sounds like a solid, good idea that can actually be done.

If this is implemented, I don't want to see any "The sniperzz are soooo OP now!" threads, so Speak up now or forever be silent

[Steel_Lion_FIN]

Would you look at that, finally a good suggestion!

Hardly. As you have ALOT of sight blocking by the scope

You can do this in RO2. But with both the mosin and Kar 98, you have a very obstructed view by the scope.

Since snipers are rare pickup kits, its doesn't matter. If it was historically accurate to use iron sights, then they should be implemented.
