The tiny German scope on the G41 and MKB is a peice of junk. It blocks my view and I hate it. Rather hip fire than use it.

Hope TW will let us choose what unlocks we want... You can do that in any other unlocks based game, so why stop now?!

Also detachable bayonets, pretty please! :>

On top of choosing what attachments/unlocks I use I would also like to choose the 'condition' that my weapon is in.

Sometimes I like using a dirty rusted grubby weapon :p

If the scope breaks the MkB so badly, it should be the starting equipment and the top-level upgrade should be the ability to remove it. At least this way we'd see fewer of the damn noob tubes around!

I like my sight hood on the K98k and was very disappointed when it was removed. It was slim enough that it didn't bother me, and the hood gave me kind of a point of reference as to where my actual sight post was in certain light conditions.

The scope on the MKb42 is a joke and only serves as an eye sore. You can zoom plenty far enough with the shift key, making a 1.5x scope basically useless.

Considering that some upgrades, scopes and the saddle drum for example, come with trade-offs I'd love to be able to choose not to use them. This should be something that is implemented. To include an unlock system that some of us were against to begin with, then not give us the option to customize which unlocks is a bit silly.

Would be good with a word from TWI on this particular issue in this thread, just to kind of calm the waters abit, esp. seeing as this is one of the rare polls with well over 300 voters so far, showing how the community is very vocal about this issue.

I believe that it absolutely should be selectable, also i'd say you should be able to save this to your profile. So you dont have to select it all the bloody time.

The unlocks system is a disaster... and a joke.

When I ended up with a MP40/II in my hands, I laughted out loud in front of my computer.

And when I got the AVT, I was like "wtf is that ?", and I looted a SVT from a dead teamate.

Now the mini-scope on the Mkb... gosh

I would like to make a couple clarifications for those who seem to misunderstand certain upgrades, the zf41 on the g41 for example. It isn't a weapon upgrade for the G41 available to 'elite rifleman', it is an entirely separate entity for the 'marksman' class, referred to as 'G41 Scoped' in profile stats. The first upgrade for the marksman's scoped G41 is a 4x optic, which would reward those who choose to use this weapon with a much better scope. Also, this does not replace the scoped kar98, it allows a choice of which weapon to use just like any other full weapon unlock.

In regards to 'shift zoom' and it making magnified optics obsolete, this is incorrect. While using zoom/controlled breathing feature, you are actually seeing the environment in nearly 1:1 scale with reality, that is to say using shift-zoom is 1x magnification(no magnification). While not using shift-zoom, you are actually zoomed-out to provide you with peripheral vision, probably 0.4x-0.5x. the amount of zoom gained when using iron-sights without shift is actually less than 1x, likely around 0.8-0.9x zoom. Therefore, 1.5x magnification is 50% more zoom than using shift. Likewise, a 4x optic is 4 times more zoom than holding down shift, not 4x zoom of 'standard' fov.

Anyway, I voted for, fully endorse and expect that TWI will indeed implement the ability to choose which accessories are applied to your weapon of choice. Upgrades that would, in reality, require gunsmithing skills or rezeroing/boresighting to apply should probably have to be chosen in the main manu, before entering a match.

The ZF41 equipped G41 isn't the problem, they thankfully seperated this one from the regular G41, and until they get around adding the choosable upgrade system they should've used the same solution for the MKb42 = making two of them, a regular one for the assault class and a scoped one for the marksman.

Would be nice with an indication on how far along they are with introducing the choosable upgrade system though. The devs are abit too silent about these things, maybe because they are afraid of making any deadline promises, which I can understand but, all we want is just some indication that they are actually working on this.

You'll really have to look hard to find a poll with as many voters and as one-sided as this one, indicating how badly the community wants this.

This cant really be denied. About 32% of the entire playerbase would like to change it :p
