antaress73 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) I find funny that the russian infantry is probably more accurate at night than during the day because of the night sights on their weapons. Is it light intensifiers or thermals ? Why no optics on daytime russians ? From what i've read, it is now common even among run of the mill motor rifle troops.

Stagler Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) They are only wide issue for vdv. Msv troop leaders only are issued 1p29 Edited February 22, 2015 by Stagler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night vision sights only, no thermals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Toleran Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 In terms of the separatists and Russian helpers, I haven't seen much optics in the vids I've seen on Youtube and Liveleak. Yes, the occasional one here and there, but not nearly as many as I have seen in footage from Syria. Still seeing a lot of iron sights and stock AK-74's (wood furniture), instead of some of the higher-end, obviously sponsored or merc ones from other theaters. Just my 2 cents though, I'm certainly no expert. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Toleran Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Hmm -- rethinking my comments above, maybe I am comparing apples to oranges, as the rebels presumably are not the same as front-line Russian troops in the CMBS scenario. CMBS Russians are using AK-74M's (the plastic furniture ones), so maybe it makes sense they would all have optics vs. the rebels with the surplus the Russians are giving them to disguise involvement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFF Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 The Obzor is the one being seen most often with Russian troops (lots more photos of it in use here: http://russianoptics.net/Obzor.html ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stagler Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 The Obzor is the one being seen most often with Russian troops (lots more photos of it in use here: http://russianoptics.net/Obzor.html ) Either Marine or Paratrooper - 6B28 helmet. Yes 1P63 collimator is widely issued within sections in these organisations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antaress73 Posted February 24, 2015 Author Share Posted February 24, 2015 So motor rifle troop leaders should be issued day optics (1P63) .. Leader and assistant much like handless radios presently on the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
