Optics - Medium Range | Weapons Battlefield 4 Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

M145 [3,4X]

The M145 is a scope medium-range scope of the least clarity, from among the available three. The rims of the lens are dimmed and the housing itself covers quite a lot of the field of vision. In exchange, you receive a perfect ballistic design of the sights itself, which considerably facilitates aiming at distant and moving targets.

PRISMA [3,4X]

Prisma is a neat and pretty clear scope, whose housing does not cover half of the screens and the crosshairs facilitate firing at distant targets. The Prisma is a happy medium between usability and clarity.

PK-A [3,4X]

The Russian-made PK-A is the most lucid of all 3.4x scopes and it covers the smallest portion of the screens still, the design itself may be perceived as a disadvantage by some. The red reticle in the middle is perfectly visible but, the scope is lacking the prolonged vertical ballistic line, which forces you to aim, by your felling of the weapon, at the distant targets.

ACOG [4X]

The American ACOG is the most compact scope of the 4x zoom but, some of the players may be turned off by the projecting sun shade, which is a bit less intuitive that the classical crosshairs. Apart from that, the ACOG offers a perfect visibility and does not cover too much of the screen.

JGM-4 [4X]

The Chinese sight of 4x zoom, offers a very complex reticle design which, on the one hand may be useful while aiming over long distances but, on the other hand, makes the view a bit les lucid. The perfect solution, however is the red semi-cross in the middle of the sight - it is perfectly visible and does not obstruct the visuals of small targets. A definite downside of this scope is that its housing covers quite a large portion of the screen and the asymmetric design of the housing itself. Many think that the element on the right that is the laser sight which, for some reasons does not work but, this is simply a battery that powers the scope.

PSO-1 [4X]

The PSO-1 is one of the scopes that limit the area of vision around the housing the most. The large chunk of rubber that you put against the eye, limits the area of vision around the scope considerably. The rims of the lens themselves are very much dimmed out. Again, we are dealing here with the projecting sun shade, which is typical for the Russian-made scopes, and which many players consider downright impractical. The range finder located on the left of the lens is purely a visual adornment that introduces even more asymmetry and chaos into the targeting area.
