Scope reticules

[Tome]

Hi,
I'm pretty sure this has come up before but it really does bug me. The reticules are simply too dark for use in most infiltration specific maps which are quite dim. The reticule for the Robar has a huge black dot in the middle, if not directly obstructing, then at least distracting. As for the PSG reticule, before anyone starts going on about realism, the real PSG can ONLY be used with a Hensoldt Wetzlar 6x42 scope. This scope has an illuminated reticule, activated by a button on the left side of the scope. So unless the battery in the scope is permanantly flat, or you've ground off the welded scope mount and welded on your own, (I'm sure everyone would agree that both these are rather unlikely), then the reticule should be illuminated.

If the loadout system is based on weight, then the PSG would take up a lot of budget as it weighs 18lb/8kg. Wouldn't it be a bit unfair if the snipers couldn't perform due a lack of ambient light and didn't have enough weight budget to carry much else?

Sorry about the b*tching /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif but I really think this should be considered. Other than that 2.75 is a vast improvement on 2.6, especially the auto inf skins.

Love the mod
Tom

Hmm, I was not aware that the Hensoldt illuminated. Are you positive on that? I've never seen it mentioned in any literature.

If it is, by all means we'll include it. However if through no fault of your own you picked up a bit of fiction, it would throw off the realism. I'd prefer to have confirmation on this before proceeding.

NoXiD, cool link, but that is a ranging telescope for a tripod-mounted machine gun, not the 6x42 mounted to the PSG. Keep looking...

I'll check with my HK guru and see exactly how the illuminated reticle is supposed to look.

Guys, I'm no weapons expert, I just really like the psg and know a lot about it. All I wanted was an illuminated reticule. So no more messages like the last one. No one can know absolutly everything.

[Gryphon]

Hehe, thanks Tome. I don't claim to be an expert either, I'm just a well-informed enthusiast. It's true we can't know everything, and I'm glad someone will be there to fill me in on what I don't know.

You will have your illuminated reticle. /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

After reading that paragraph on Remtek's sight, we might just be able to pull off a slick little feature to let you illuminate the reticule for 2 minutes at a time... Gotta make price tag worth the cost..

PSG scope!!

Well, hope someone will read this..if not I'll surely post it again..

I found out that the zoom indicator of my PSG showed 600X!!!!!
Shouldn't it be 600% or 6x?
Don't know about 200/400 or Robar modes, since I don't use them alot.
