works properly for me...try aiming at your target with your ironsight and then switch to the scope.

the ability to actually spot enemies (at a distance - the whole idea) and align them in the scope is maybe 5% of that of the big scopes.

It's a 1.5x optic. You're comparing it to 4x and 6x optics. What do you expect?

ETA: Hell, IRL a 4x isn't even that powerful. It only seems like it in games because you rarely shoot past 300m.

That is an interesting suggestion, and I'm going to try it, but don't you think that kind of defeats the purpose of the scope? I mean, if I'm going to go to the trouble of sighting all my targets with ironsights, why waste precious time going back to the scope when I can already hit the guy? We've seen 200+m kills with un-scoped kars and mosins, so having to switch back and forth to make kills is a bit of a hassle, especially once you get to a point where you can just grab the SVT.

This is exactly the problem.

It needs to be zeroed to it's own self, not to the Ironsight.

The usage of ironsights to scope is very time-consuming and the enemy can and will find you first. I know because I do it. But almost all the time I end up just using strictly ironsights.

Most of the marksman rifles technically have iron sights, but try it out and you'll see that is not a terrific idea. It is usually looking through a lot of metal and woodwork, then having a tiny slit in the middle where the iron sights are. Can't see much. Much, much harder to see or aim at stuff with that compared to the standard rifles without scopes. And yeah, within 150 meters scopes are usually no better (or worse) than plain iron sight rifles. It is annoying to have a marksman rifle then finding oneself using the gimped iron sights to shoot with, realizing it is better than the scope.

Only go marksman when the map has long enough distances and hiding spots to warrant it. Otherwise, do your sniping as a rifleman. Can see, shoot and hide just as well in most situations.

EDIT: switching between iron sights and scope can be done instantly if you bind the "weapon function key" to, for example, a mouse button. I have it when tilting the scroll wheel right.

Currently at the moment I always have to zoom in, and then move my scope up a considerable degree before I can even see my target, which is extremely disorienting. No other sight needs this to be done, since when you aim down them they are all proplerly centered in the middle of the screen.

This is probably the most annoying issue with the scoped G41. Every other weapon in the game, regardless of optic, centers the scope with the middle of the screen, regardless of the optic placement on the rifle.

Just because the scope is further down the rifle, does not mean that it should be off-center. I can deal with the size of the scope, but it's placement on the screen is absurd, and doesn't make any sense at all.

Please fix this TWI, so that we can enjoy this rifle!

I just tried using the scoped g41 in the german SP campaign and it feels like it's going to take ALOT of getting used to. Where you go to aim and where your aimpoint actually is seem to be completely out. I generally find that I'm aiming well below my target's legs even out past 50-75m for some reason. Maybe that will fix itself with experience, maybe it's a bug with the gun I dunno yet.

It's a bug. The sight is way off, but the shots hit, right? Or is it just that the sight is way off and it doesn't hit a damn thing ever?

It's not physically possible. It's an error with the script of the location of the sights in relation to the location of the barrel. I'ts more like a kummerlauf or periscope, where the sights are 1m higher than the barrel. I think it's a digit error? Like 1m instead of 0.1m? Or something not so simple. But it's bad and needs to be fixed.

Yeah, it's a periscope.

Ok, so here's an illustration of the issue. You get the same mismatch with all the other scopes, but you don't get disorientated as you seek targets by looking through the scope rather than looking at the surroundings. IMO this really needs to fixed so that all the work on making this scope hasn't been wasted.

The lowermost red line points to the object I'm looking at in correlation with the surroundings (or background if you will). In the second picture I've moved the lens so it roughly correlates with the background.
