wildbillkelsoe Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 Why in the unbuttoned view can you see with binoculars but not in buttoned vision blocks view? are binos that big to fit the hatch? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maj.Hans Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I guess you might consider allowing a SLIGHT amount of zoom (like 1.5x) to represent maybe really getting up close and squinting to get a nice good look through the vision block, but from what I've seen of vehicle hatches, I feel like using binoculars even in the overhead protected mode would be tricky without practice due to how crammed in you are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibsonm Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 (edited) No, you wear them around you neck. You always wear them around your neck (get off the tank, move around inside, their strap is around your neck). When you want to use them, you stand up in the turret, or at least raise your head and shoulders outside the hatch (that is above the vision blocks). Then bring them up to your eyes and use them. You do not attempt to use them inside the turret - which is what you asked about initially. Edited November 29, 2017 by Gibsonm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nike-Ajax Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Military Binoculars are VERY expensive. And cracking or scratching the glasses is a bad idea for when you really need them, not to mention the risk of injuring your eyes... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, we unzip our tanksuit tops and put them inside and then zip back up. You look silly but the binos are protected and they don't give off glare, etc. Also as you signed for them you know where they are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marko Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Binoculars are also a good identifier for a enemy sniper that there target is a officer. LoL 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildbillkelsoe Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 (edited) I guess what I am asking for is unrealistic. OK how about zooming without trackir for unbuttoned 2xQ view? what key command to look for? Edited November 30, 2017 by wildbillkelsoe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibsonm Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 IIRC that's a function of realism (or difficulty) - which area will be detailed in the manual. At the lower settings you can "zoom" the view without resorting to Binoculars. At the mid to upper levels then you need to take the Binocular route. Again though my recolection maybe wrong (not using the lower settings much). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted November 30, 2017 Members Share Posted November 30, 2017 At the lower realism settings you may use the zoom function while in the observer's position, but it will shift the point of view to that of an unbuttoned commander. Not sure why the majority of the beta testers had a problem with that, but, well, so we removed that option from the highest realism level, making the UI more clunky. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishHussar Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 As a Challenger 1 loader/operator I used to assist the gunner and commander in acquiring targets by looking through a small civilian set of Binos through the x1 loaders periscope. It has a practical usage in the real world, not too sure about in sim world?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lusik Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I could barely squeeze my myself in a T-72 hatch. Using binoculars would probably require chopping a part of my head off. Lea 2 is not that more spacious either. A workaround is using Track IR. You can actually zoom the view through F4 view if you have one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
