How far do you suppose this shot is? The Russian was walking down from the top of the bank and I hit him about 3/4 of the way down about where the tip of the arrow is. If you look carefully you can see his body slumped at the bottom (maybe 2-3 pixels of a darker colour). First shot.
And +1 for a slight zoom while ISing, dependent on barrel length. I noticed the mod used to darken out the edges to simulate tunnel vision whereas OST has a wide FOV at all times which is hardly realistic in itself. Needs to be ocular focus of some description.
for most people the angle will probably be around 40 or 50 degrees. (ingame the default is 85) it would be great if that angle would have been lowered to 70 to get some sort of a compromise for seeing broad and ability to judge distances and hit at far ranges.
Decreasing the default field of view is definitely not the thing to do. Already you can sneek up on the flank of a row of enemy behind cover and stab them all to death one by one, without the guy a few feet to the side noticing. Decreasing the fov is just going to make that worse. The fish-eye effect has to stay until the day when we can all have truly immense monitors (or a vr type thing) to play our games with both peripheral vision and proper vision at distance.
Having a zoom function would be ok but only if it was seperate in some way from the button for iron sights. Two reasons for this: Players should not be forced to go into IS to see further. In reality raising your sights blocks some of your field of vision. Second reason is that I should not be forced to lose all of my peripheral vision if I want to clear a room with my gun raised. Just because you have the sights up doesn't mean you should be forced to have blinders on (except for what the sights and gun themselves actually obscure, of course). Ideally you would have options so that you could bind the zoom with the iron sight function however you saw fit.
Other concern about zoom in IS mode is that it could hurt RO's reputation as a realistic game because of it. Then again Op. Flashpoint had a seperate zoom type thing just like Zetsumei was describing and no one seemed to mind, so bring it on I guess.

In reallife do you suddenly get black around your eyes no. But the outside gets blurred yes because you don't stare at it.
Guess what happends when you focus ingame suddenly you can focus better on idividual pixels and the outside is blurred because your own eyes REAL focus. How more realistic can you get? Well 1 way see as zoomed in as you standard would in reallife so judging distances can be easy. Your distance although its not a clear view Flatland and no really visible enemy. But i'd guess around 100 meter.
Here's a fun thing to do. Grab a passer or whatever that device is called you draw circles with. Put it as close as possible to your eyes. Then put the feet of the device out of each other from your eye and sitting position till you get the width at the end of the points of the passer. Then measure the angle of the feet.
Go in practice mode open up the console with ~ type in Fov NUMBER
make the number angle you measured from the passer. Now what you can accuratly judge distances as good as you would normally
