ye, stuff has been mentioned like this in the past but dont think anyone has bothered to do it and only clicked in my head when I saw the topic title that you could do it via a dummy weapon.

And you know how much I remember about convos etc, let alone how much I remember about convos etc when I'm drinking

Sounds cool, but could there be overpowering issues?

Could Model something like that on the deployables instead of just going to binocs, But still keep it as a dummy weapon, that thing would shake to much IRL to really use a scope anyway.

lol, ok well generally, there is no simple way of being able to "scope in" with a PCO (Player Controlled Object, ie a vehicle) so I've been wondering to myself for some time how it might be possible to make a scope for a PCO, since the only real way to zoom with a PCO is the X key like we have on tanks etc. But of course, I haven't been thinking strait, you could just have 2 weapons, both the same, mag linked, but first weapon unscoped version, ie, looking above it, then the 2nd weapon would be looking though the scope.

Thou there might be problems with mag linking, overheating, reloading etc but will have to see.

Excellent, thanks for the reply. Most of luck with the execution of those ideas.

All the best,

If I had a nickel for every time I've had a good idea I would have one nickel

If occupants of vehicles HMVW could have a zoom function, with a binocular type view, they could spot for the guy in the 50cal.. I mentioned this multiple times during testing for the new HMVW that now does not allow you to cycle through any of your weapons..

As it is with deployable HMG's I often find myself next to or inside the nest with a gunner using Binoc to Spot for him. With the new version of the HMVW, you must expose yourself too much in my opinion

Wow, thanks for all the speedy replies from high places

I didn't think of adding it to vehicle's weapons, but I now realise that is a good idea to.

Thanks for taking interest Rhino, I still haven't remembered the second idea.
