does anyone who uses the optical version of any gun have a preference for a certain optic ? personally i like the circle, on my lewis gun optical , i’ve tried all 4 optics , but i feel more comfortable with the circle and seem to do better, same thing with mp18 , and hellriegal D . ---

Dot reticle for me since this game has horrible visual recoil. ---

I use the T reticle formerly known as ‘kobra’. ---

I usually go with the T as well. The others like the dot and circle don’t stand out enough for me. ---

I don’t really like the dot. I feel that it often gets, for lack of a better word, lost against the background. ---

I like the optical. A couple of my “go to” weapons are the SMLE Carbine and the Selby16 Optical. Red dot for me. I’ve tried the others but I find it hard to judge the accurate dead center without the very center marked. ---

I prefer using the cross beam reticle on optical variants. I know that it covers up more of the screen compared to a simple red dot, but for some reason, I do better with the cross beam. The only weapon that I really use an optical variant for is the Huot, since the optic and the foregrip basically turn it into a proto-assault rifle. ---

I usually use optical and carbine versions with the small red dot. I do like the T though too. I generally don’t like a lot of zoom and I think the T would work better if you had a 2.0 + magnification. ---

I use the dot as I felt that the other optics obscured my targets. ---

> [@UglyNoah](#): > > I use the dot on the 10A Slug Weirdly it was having to use the 10-A Slug (for a medal - shotgun headshots I think) that got me used to the lens/ladder optical sight and onto scout carbines. Thanks, 10-A Slug 😉
