Some top-tier vehicles are still using terrible zoom optics. Their high default zoom levels make them struggle significantly in close-quarters battle (CQB)
For example the Italian vehicles have awful zoom(8x-12x).
Same issue can be found on the Chiense vehicles, for example both the ZTZ-99A and VT-4A1 have 6x-10x/11x zoom
I understand that optics can be used as a balancing tool. For example, the Type 90 has excellent firepower, so it gets a fixed 8\times zoom optic to limit its performance. However, the vehicles I listed aboveβespecially the Ariete and Centauro IIβare not overpowered to begin with. Why, then, do they all have such awful optic zoom levels?
The same logic applies to the targeting pods of several top-tier jets, such as the Sniper targeting pod on the F-16 and F-15E. These aircraft are not even the top-performing jets in the game. From a balancing standpoint, why does the EF2000, which is a significantly stronger jet, get a better targeting pod when it already has a superior airframe, armament, RWR, and radar? This makes no sense.
Sniper Targeting pod on F-16CM
The F16C used to uses Litening II instead of Sniper, which has a far better zooming level than the sniper, so replacing litening II with Sniper is clearly a nerf to the jet, why would gaijin nerfed a jet thatβs already under performing?
