Good day battlefielders, I was wondering if i’m the only one who thinks some of the sights look completely out of place and are not needed. I’m mainly talking about the distance sight of the semi/ bold action rifles. No, not the scope, the weird round thing with the cross at the end of the barrel. What i don’t understand is why they’d add such a weird looking thing if the actual ironsights of said rifles are perfectly fine, wouldn’t be any worse, and actually look and feel authentic. I’m a bit bothered to see them like this since i like shooting actual iron sights, and what game would be nicer to have it then a WW1 game? If you’re wondering which sight i’m talking about, look at the links below: Thank you for reading and please give your views on this. ---

Well I believe that sight in particular is the Neil optical sight used by the British. I cant find a particularly good picture of it in real life. Best picture I can find. ![](https://battlefieldforum.co/uploads/default/original/3X/6/4/64315bfd630c23986021bb1f2e81d648c000ca30.png) They are most likely going to make the different optics of war fit on different weapons as attachments so you don’t have to use them. If you watch some of the Lewis gun gameplay it has a Maxim gun sight on it. ---

It looks abit like a magnifying glass next to the actual sight. It looks a lot better then the ones in the game. I just don’t really understand why that thing replaces the good looking iron sights. As an option it would be fine, but it seems like the only actual sight you can choose. Edit: This must be the sight: [http://www.milsurps.com/showthread.php?t=35259](http://www.milsurps.com/showthread.php?t=35259) I still wish i could actually use the real iron sights. ---

As someone who loves all things bolt-action in these games - I thought that sight in the game looked awesome, and planned on using it regularly. ---

I just saw that the sniper class does have the option to use regular iron sights. No i just hope the medic also has that option with the semi auto ones, i havent seen gamplay with that yet though. If they can also i’m completely satisfied on that part.
