For just an extra 0.5x magnification than the iron sights they give a darkened and limited view and to add an insult to injury the middle of the sights has a circle instead of a pin which is both obstructive and is not precise enough when one tries to go for headshots. Is there even a single person who actually prefers using aperture sights over scopes or iron sights? I feel they need a major revamp to become something worth using? If yes, do you think it is not unsuitable for precision weapons that need to go for the head to work well.? ---

No, it makes aiming much worse. I miss the kobra sight and visibility from BF4. I use iron sight or 3 x zoom. I hate 3 x zoom, but the game forces you to use it in some way. ---

Occasionally I’ll use it on an AR, but apart from that not really. Actually I might have it equipped on my Model 8 when I use that. But yeah, making it so the reticle is more like a pin than a circle would make it much more usable, and making the outlines much sharper with less of a dark tint. ---

Just me or does it seem that the sights and lack of visibility is made for “hide and seek” meaning firestorm and not the core game. ---

> [@SirBobdk](#): > > Just me or does it seem that the sights and lack of visibility is made for “hide and seek” meaning firestorm and not the core game. I do not know but it is ironic that it is supposedly an “rare” upgrade to the iron sights as far as Randomstorm is concerned, when it is actually a downgrade ---

It is too bad that they do not have the Lyman Peep Site as it features a pin on the barrel of the weapon seen through the rear site. ---

I don’t. Normally I just use the old standard iron sights as most of them are pretty good. ---

Recon’s Selbstlader 1906 has a 2X sight called “Standard sight” which is a great sight and how 2X sights should be on all guns. I proposed this here ---

I use them on bolt action rifles from time to time because I find the forced TAA leads to the iron sights blurring into the terrain too much on certain maps. ---

I am currently trying, it still has some issues darkness is a major issue for .5x extra over ironsight which has less obstruction. To me it seem quicker to ADS than x3 scope. The dish aperture on STG and G43 I have found to be pretty good for medium range. ---

No, I don’t care for them at all. I usually use irons on everything but snipers. ---

Currently using them on my Ross. Trying something different to eliminate scope glare. Love the 2x scope on 1906 Selbstlader. ---

Only use them on SLR’s due to scope glint on 3x. Really wish all REcon SLR’s got the same 2x as the sebby 1906. ---

I’ve only liked them with the STG-44. I don’t know if it’s a bug or by design, but with the STG they don’t darken the area around the sight so you can still see your periphery. ---

I used it on my ZH for a bit but there’s no point if you can kill the dude in 2 or 3 bullets. Even if you miss two, if he’s facing you then he’ll know where you are anyway and if he’s not facing you then he wouldn’t be able to see a x3’s scope glint. A x3’s scope glint makes it easier for them to fire back but if you’re killing everyone with 2-3 rounds then that shouldn’t matter So ultimately I switched back to the x3 ---
