They seriously made sight hood removal an upgrade? If anything it is the otherway around. Sight hoods protect the front sight blade and also make for a better and easier to aquire sight picture. These unlocks just keep getting more and more retarded.
And apparently two G41(w) with ZF-4 Scopes fitted exist in the real world, but the game will enable us to unlock it.
Considering the Germans made like two of them, the fact that they are in the game is ludicrous - it's way more likely that silenced M1895 and scoped MkB42(h) were in Stalingrad than the Gewehr 41 (w) with ZF-4 was to even be used in the war.
Edit: here is some pics of the G41 with improved scope mount + sight (I can't tell the scope model..)
If you can't see the picture of it with a scope, here is a direct link.

Might be true for european enviroment but in the cold snowy enviroment ov stalingrad the german hood tended to pick up dirt and snow so they cut it of do keep their sight clear

They didn't cut them off because they are removable and slide in/clip in place. And I don't see how the Germans would have been having anymore of a hard time with their sight hood than the Russians would have had with their Mosins which have a fixed sight hood. Do you have any sources to prove this claim? If they were dragging their weapons around enough to need to remove the front sight hood, I would think they would have had some bore blockage as well.
In old RO the bayonet affecte long range accuracy, so it was useful to put or take it out in your convenience... I hate carrying it deployed all the time...
Sight hoods were made for only one purpose, to protect the front site via a stamped sheet metal hood.
They werent easier to aquire the sight picture with, infact they are actually harder. The hood itself would sometimes block out their line of sight. This is why alot of them were taken off by the soldiers in the field, they also took them off because in winter conditions the snow would fill up the hood entirely. Not a good thing if you quickly have to shoulder your rifle and defend your life.
The germans had plastic muzzle caps to keep dirt and snow out of their bores. They also used the earlier front sight and muzzle protector used on 1940 and earlier dated K98s but those had to manually removed, unlike the plastic caps that could be shot off in emergency situations.
Actually they are easier to aquire a sight picture with, as they make it easier to line the sights up properly. I don't speak from online information or guesses, I speak from personal experience with firearms. I think the front sight hood being packed with snow is right up there with the m1 garand ping getting people killed left and right. If that were the case, I seriously doubt that the Russians themselves would have a sight hood on just about every weapon they made. Edit: Also, I seriously doubt that they all had muzzle caps in place while they were in the middle of combat.
My sources? real world experience and research with WW2 firearms espcialy German
Could you list some sources? I'm sincere and not trying to be sarcastic. I had honestly never heard of that and now I'm interested.
What havent you heard of? what would you like to know? Id happily share any sources and information I have.
