atom222 10 Posted March 8, 2013 Anyone familiar with the remote weapons stations? I mean, I can see a small PIP displaying thermal data for a machine gun turret. But I was wondering if i could zoom that up to actually see what I am shooting at! I used the optics and optics mode buttons and they do not work to switch the view.

Just to clarify, you pressed 0 (by default) on your numpad and nothing happened? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nodunit 397 Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) Unfortunately there is no way to zoom in with PIP, I hope the devs consider allowing this function in future because it would add a great deal to gameplay as far as recon and long range enagement goes. I've made a ticket about this rather glaring gameplay issue here http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=2938 the way I see it, PIP has great potential and it gives Arma 3 a unique edge against all 'competition' (save for dedicated sims) The biggest pro PIP has is immersion, the fact that you are looking at a screen and still see your surroundings gives a deeper sense of "being there". However due to PIP lacking qualities you can otherwise get by pressing 0, such as DTV and NV, combined with the thermal auto brightness turning the land into a grey mush wherein heat targets are painfully easy to spot http://feedback.arma3.com/view.php?id=2899 make it a nice gimmick rather than a full on tactical system and important game mechanic.
