RCO and ERCO aiming reticle misalignment issue

[a_killer_wombat 120]

The RCO and ERCO optic's aiming reticule becomes significantly misaligned with the barrel (where the bullets will go) as soon as you adjust your aim in any direction. This must not be intended behaviour since the other 2x magnified optics such as the ARCO and MRCO work correctly where the aiming reticule is always aligned with the barrel. The RCO and ERCO should be updated so that they work similar to the ARCO and MRCO.

Reticle is painted on glass so it gets misaligned when you are moving your rifle right and left. That's one of biggest difference between collimators and scopes so actually ARCO & MRCO should be fixed

Interesting, I'm not very knowledgable on the matter so I just did a quick google and found this short article about scope parallax issues: https://www.shootinguk.co.uk/answers/parallax-adjustment-in-your-rifle-scope-26698
 

From reading that short article, it seems that scopes in real-life can suffer from parallax issue when the shooter's eye is not perfectly aligned with the optic. However, apparently rifle scopes are configured to be "parallax free" at a particular range which is typically 100m and some rifle scopes even have dials to quickly adjust the parallax free range.

 

I don't know if it's possible in Arma, but it would be best and more accurate to real-life if BI updates the 2x magnified optics so that they are all "parallax free" at 100m. The problem with the RCO and ERCO right now is that the parallax issue with the aiming reticle is significant even at close ranges as demonstrated in the video.

Low power optics don't get "misaligned" unless you are moving quickly, or moving over rough terrain. Moving the entire upper body left, or right is the proper technique, and almost entirely eliminates any "misalignment" of the optic. 

 

While we're on the subject, why the heck do the sights/optics completely misalign while in a moving vehicle? That almost completes ruins shooting from vehicles.

By that logic, whole weapon inertia shouldn't exist since it can be countered "almost entirely" by proper technique? Beside that, I wouldn't say that misalignment is almost not present at all on low power scopes - after all holographic sights (which can have additional low power magnifier) exist for some reason.

Good find @a_killer_wombat!

 

I hope it gets fixed soon!
