The zoom is just broken. There are scopes at 3x with a wider fov that seem more zoomed in than 6x.
The zoom from 3rd to 1dt is always breaking too. No matter how fast your aim speed is, the 3rd person aim is always faster. Wildlands did not have this problem because the scope faded I'm as an overlay camera. Just use the standard scope with 6x and get adjusted with it. Better yet use the dual range sight with a burst fire dmr.
