Binocs on/in Deployable HMG

[Proff3ssorXman]

Ok, been a while since I last posted here but I did a search and also looked through the AAS thread.

Anyway, the main suggestion is pressing 'B' or 'C' or whatever to look through a pair of binoculars whilst manning the deployable HMGS.

I know you might say, exit the HMG and then look through you bino's but that isn't really a justifiable solution, it exposes you and lets the enemy know that you are in there.

Let us know what you think of it, there was another suggestion I was trying to remember but I can't think of it at the moment.

the general idea is not bad, but pressing C to go into it would not be the best way IMO to do it.

best way would most likely to have it as a separate, dummy weapon that just had magnification

might have a go at the idea myself in fact

dang ur a genious... do want!!! just dont make the binos point straight in the place ur firing r theres gonna be sum pwnag3...

[single.shot (nor)]

make the Binocular mode a "safe" mode.... so u cant fire when magnified..

[Feenan.]

Yes as well as no reticle like on the standard binos otherwise people will be using it to snipe etc.

Sounds like a good idea. I don't think you should be able to shoot while in this binoc mode though or else FOBs may become too powerful. A little zoom for the actual MG wouldn't hurt though.

Would it also be possible to add this feature on the vehicles machine guns? Or would it go too unrealistic?

Yes.
There is a similar system on the Chechen Field guns, by pressing F.
That would be a place to start

as in the 50cal gunners at the top? what I was mainly thinking

And ye, would be pretty unrealistic to be able to look though binocs and shoot

ye, as on the ZIS-3 cannons, normal view is a dummy weapon, then you press "F" (or 2) to go into radical mode where you can shoot, difference would be with this is that weapon 1 would be the MG instead of the dummy weapon, then weapon 2 would be the binoculars (the dummy weapon) and would have zoom

No, that's not what I meant, I was thinking of the 50-cals gunner to be able to draw out his binocular separately and look through them. Not do these at the same, that would be ridiculous.
