A member mentioned the 'focus zoom' and the red diamond that appears with 'tactical assistance' on. While I agree with member about being able to use some 'tactical assistance' while turning off red diamond during R2(focus/empty lung) needs to be available. What really concerns me is the fact that 'focus time' changes the ballistics (aim point) from regular and 'empty lung' shots. While zoomed in w/'focus time' the target appears closer, but you have aim higher. Why the change in aim point? Was using the red diamond to master my mildot ranges when I noticed it wasn't going to be that easy. I'm guessing the 'focus zoom' is essentially bumping up your optics, and adjusting the mildot values.
I'd say your guess is right as Only reason I can figure is because the Scopes are in the Second Focal Plane and your point of impact changes with that change in zoom.Nature of the beast.
Its about 0.2 mil less drop in focus time
I just remember all my holdovers at full zoom and when in focus time just reduce hold by that 0.2 mil
Course this is works in the demo- We'llhave to see what happens in retail version as some changes/tweeks are bound to be made in light of all our opinions on the forum.
Yeah, I was doing some testing and 'focus zoom' is essentially an additional optics power, and the mildot value change corresponds the same as would for regular optics zoom. Nothing too serious, just didn't really realise till I turned 'tactical assistance' on. At first I thought it was somekind of human ability to 'aim small, miss small' and just pin point a location, while still using the aim point of the magnification you were on before hitting 'focus zoom' I can live with that.
But they definitely need to give us the ability to either turn 'focus zoom' off, or seperate 'focus zoom' and 'empty lung' activation to L3 (currently also activates 'focus zoom')+ R2. Maybe even give 'focus zoom' its own meterthat perhaps doesn't automatically replenish. Really like the 'empty lung', but 'focus zoom' is not as appealing.
The more adjustable the settings are the better. Just really really happy to have a new Sniper Elite game right around the corner, but at the same time super nervous that it lives up to its high expectations. Really want to see more SE titles in the future, modern sniping with spotter (co op), and how about a one following a snipers long legendary career through several historical conflicts/wars/black ops missions/assassinations. Storyline possibilities like old sniper instructor gone rogue, spotter/best friend loss, left behind enemy lines MIA, arch rival enemy snipers, corrupt politicians. Just a few thoughts for the future.
More SEV2 suggestions to come when I have time. Thanks for listening.
O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not my enemies triumph over me.
