G41 Scoped

[Panzer Jager '43]

Personally I think all they need to do is make the Scope properly centered or else show what it's directly pointing at.

Also the 4x zoom scope is either a modified G41w with a ZF4 (which literally 2 exist and are arguably post-war customs) or it's an extremely rare ZF43 which may have never made it beyond prototype with not even a single field test.

Both sides used captured weapons, so what are the chances the 4x is a Russian scope?

I hate it. The narrow view and low zoom make it a weak bonus for long range shooting, and the scope itself manages to grossly obstruct the iron sights as well. The scoped Kar98k also has badly obstructed iron sights.

I'm glad the scoped Mosin and SVT are much cleaner.

None becasue you would have no way to mount it to the G41.

They couldn't just Jerry rig it?

 

[DTKT]

It's a terrible thing.

I really wonder why they added it.

I see a terrible irony with the germans having to duct-tape a 4x scope onto their guns while the russians get that properly fitted on as standard

I enjoy seeing flawed designs. Take another classic: The AVT-40. It was an attempt to convert SVT-40's into a machine gun role, to fill the urgent need for more machine guns in the Red Army. Didn't quite work out so well. No ammo capacity, hideous recoil, hideous reliability. But oh so fun.

The G41 with scope; have you tried it at 230-800 meters? I know probably not since the maps are so small. But I do suspect it would have some use at such ranges, where the enemy is barely a pixel in size when using only ironsights. Would allow seeing some enemies as well as accurately aiming the sights. Or it should.

Another advantage of the G41 scope is that one still has some peripheral vision. The regular marksman rifle scopes are so huge that one can't even see where one is aiming (say you are trying to move your scoped view from one building to another by rotating a bit, you can barely even see that, even less some muzzle flash that goes off in your front view). Normal scopes have extremest of extreme tunnel vision.

Takes a while to get used to, but after some practice, it's really fun to use.

No because it would take a lot of time to zero it properly and then any range dialing is configured for Soviet 148gr Ball which has completely different ballistics than German 197gr Ball.

I really like the long-eye-relief on the G41 scope, quicker target acquisition, and more paripheral vision. It takes getting used to for sure, but it is very fun.

But this isn't even a question of people liking it or not. The general design is fine, it's just matter of scope correlation.

I'm really not a fan of the scoped G41. Like someone else said, it's a scout scope although with an incredibly small objective lens. While I'm fine with scout scopes, I don't like the idea of having a magnification scope up there (if it was 1.5x I wouldn't mind as much). Funny how I've never seen the scope design return on the G43. I wonder why.

 

[BBRodriquez]

The design is ok - http://www.gewehr43.com/info.html

When you use the iron sight to aim at something and than switch to scope it aims directly to what it supposed to.
Hard to tell if there is something wrong with the gun.

 

[Richey79]

The general design is fine, it's just matter of scope correlation.

I've had a think about this, and really there's no reason why this sight would be mounted so that it's pointing downards. When you look through it, there's no prism or anything acting like a periscope, so why should it shift your view downwards significantly?

I'd love to know whether this is a bug/consequence within the engine of offering iron sights as well as the scope. The only other possibility I can think of is that the devs didn't want people using this as a collimated red-dot CCO, and so purposefully made it more awkward to use.

Devs?

What weapon level do you have to be to start unlocking things?

 

[Mike133]

G41 scoped is god-awful...anytime I see someone through normal vision and try to aim gun to get enemy in scope, I have to aim high or to the right or left of where I think he should be

player doesn't even look DOWN the scope properly...his head is way back looking at the scope like it was a TV

That's the way this scope was irl, I'm afraid.

It's what posters above mean when they say 'long eye relief'. The scope was about 15cm from the eye.

Yeah its OTT

Oops double
