Crossbow Aim - 2 Modes?

[Sgt. D. Pilla]

Hey Guys,

Was playing KF just a second ago and for the second time today the scope on the Crossbow changed from being fully zoomed in and the scope taking up the majority of the screen to being a lesser zoom level and taking up half the screen.

Now I actually rather this 'lesser' zoom.
I've attached a picture to show you.

Basically I'm not sure if this is a bug, part of the perk (Sharpshooter), or if I'm hitting a button...
Failing the above questions, is there a way to mod this in? Because I personally love it, it makes the crossbow much easier to aim with and get headshots with...

[Nanostrike]

Looks like it has less zoom but is much easier to aim with, actually! Interesting...

[Sgt. D. Pilla]

I know! It's fantastic, granted it looks stupid (looks like the character is to affraid to hold it close to his face lol) but it's MUCH easier to aim with at closer targets and heaps easier to get those headshots.

I just wish I knew what it was or how I did it...Because I've done it again lol!
When I want it, I can't have it

Scope Detail High = Huge scope
Scope Detail Low = Smaller scope

You can change it in the options.

that scope would cost a fortune IRL if it had eye relief that bloody long

Actually this view is more realistic, you are not ment to press your face up against a real scope, because weapons have recoil, which means you would get a huge black eye if you where to do that (this is called a "recruits eye", it's a newbie mistake).

Real scopes require you hold your face at a particular distance from the scope, unless they have a long soft rubber eyepiece that can handle the recoil (like Russian POSP scopes have).

True, but unless it's a pistol scope, it usually doesn't have a 6" eye-relief.

A long eye-relief is not unheard of, just look at the ZF-41 scope for the Kar-98: http://taka25th.cathand.com/zf41e1.jpg
Now that's a whole lot more than 6 inches, it's sitting above the rear sight of the rifle, it's probably clouser to 18/20 inches from your eye (i'm not too good with inches though, metric is more my thing, so don't have a fit if that's not right on the money).

And on a crossbow, i certainly woulden't rule it out, it does have a raher different mechanism to a rifle, so mounting optics on one may require some unorthodox solutions.

Sorry but I think I'm blind lol...

--EDIT--
Ignore me, I was blind lol

[aesdana]

I prefer the "textured" option actually Oh and btw I shot 4 clots in a row today with it

[tha MediC]

It's how the crossbow was designed to be, check out the trailer and you'll notice

In order to get the crossbow sight small and easy like that, i go buy it then alt tab out of game and back in. works like a charm each time!

[Grobut]

There may also be a key you can press to change mode, there was in RO (twas F12 at default i belive? YUS! from RO user.ini: "F12=SetScopeDetail").

[Xsiriss]

Dayum I I posted something about this 2 minutes after you ><. Question answered woot.

Ive got a POSP on me .308 saiga.
so is scope detail f10 like RO?

[Shalrath]

Yeah, it's odd, but in real life you'd want the scope further from your face. So oddly, the 'less detail' scope is much more realistic. If you tried holding the scope that close to your face with anything that had big recoil, you'd black your own eye, haha.

Both directons actually, as it fires it wants to jolt forward, which will instinctively make you pull it back twords you, so you could easilly give yourself a recruits eye with one, if you where pressing your eye up against the scope.

[slayerduck]

besides that there always need to be space between your eye and the scope or you wont see anything at all.

I got a 3-9x32 scope and my distance from my eye to the scope is like 8-10cm.

Sorry for the off topic
