[2019] Can we get back magnification customization?

Why not switch iron sights from 1.5 to 1.0 and nydar sight 1.0 to 1.5?

Honestly I think that the new weapon skill trees in place of magnification customization is not a good compromise. I'm not asking for more weapon perks or anything like that. I just want customization consistent with previous Battlefield games (BF4 got it perfect, BF1 was understandable given the era but allowed us to modify magnification instead, which is a great tradeoff between authenticity and gameplay). I feel like in this regard, and many others, BFV has taken a step back in an attempt to bring in new systems and features. We don't really get any variety in customization overall with the current state of weapon upgrades.

I applaud the effort in moving the franchise forward but there many aspects in previous games that got things done pretty well (example, UI and accessing settings/customization).

Would it be possible to make the vignette on the inner ring of the aperture sights less muddy/blurry looking? It looks really horrible, and probably pushes more people towards scopes.

I get how such a sight works IRL, having looked through one, but in a videogame it just causes eye strain..

Otherwise could we just get the 2x scope (like the one on the pistol carbine) added to more/all other weapons? A 3x scope is often too much zoom and, as noted above, the aperture sight is a poor alternative.

And who decided it was an accesibility "issue" that needed to be "fixed"

Hey RandomRecoil, sorry to stalk you but this is relevant to the topic, and I made a post about this myself, but is there any chance that the AA sights on MGs up upped to 2x or 2.25x instead of being at the 1.25x where they are?

Most of the default iron sights offer a decent, unobstructed field of view, especially the Lewis Gun, and with an MG you really wanna have good target acquisition since it's a medium-range weapon, besides the Madsen, and it can be hard to keep your eyes focused on an area you're suppressing for your squadmates with the muzzle flash. I always use the 3x on my MGs since area denial is an important aspect of the squad's automatic weapon, but that heavily obstructs field of view, as it's intended to, and I like to maintain more situational awareness while also being able to observe any targets trying to rambo it through my suppressive fire, not to mention the MMGs don't get 3x, as I know everybody on this forum is happy about.

Not to mention engaging airborne targets with MMGs is pretty pointless despite the specializations for them, since the typical airborne engagement distance is usually (approximated) 300m-500m, having a higher-focus on the spider web would alleviate the range issues and also allow better calculation of bullet trajectory on a fast moving target.
