With the features that you are already implementing, is it really necessary to reduce the zoom? It is one of the new features that I like. By increasing sway, and using other methods of making the player less accurate, i feel like reducing zoom is redundant, and wont really add to the experience. You should be able to see someone at 200-250m standing up fairly easily with you both on the same level, which is rather difficult without zoom in-game.
Other than this and the medic feature, I am really looking forward to the mod.
