OP here. I found it through a thorough search. They're Galilean rifle sights.

>>30734370

Oh. I thought EA was just shitting things up as usual.

>>30735035
Honestly, I thought the same thing before this thread


The more you know, I guess?

>>30735035
>EA
DICE makes the Battlefield games. EA just publishes them.

>>30734370
So it looks like this would tighten up onto the barrel for use as AA?

WWI must have been nuts, using bolt actions to take down fighter planes must have been quite the hoot of the century.

>>30736090
No they were not for shooting down aircraft.

The galilean was a target sight used by long range competition shooters. It was a adopted for sharp shooters in ww1 because telescopic sights were expensive amongst other issues.


The galilean evolved into the modern diopter sight that is used by competition shooters today

got this from another site. this is pretty nifty, actually.

>>30736200
Ah, okay. So basically a different choice within the same uses for diopter sights and what not?

I saw it and immediately thought of the sights on the Arisaka rifles for low flying aircraft.

and here is a neat reload animation

everything in the game besides the bedouin assault woman are real. They were jjust very, very uncommon in WW1.

>>30736090
IIRC the first air to air kill was achieved with a handgun.

>>30735035

I'm fairly sure everything in bf1 existed in some form at that time, it's just that they ignore the limits of availability. It's not meant to be a simulator so whatever.

Wonder if they'd be willing to skip 30 years and have a Nydar sight?

German aircraft had similar sights by the end of WW1, so not outside the realm of possibility to have a "almost period correct" tacticool optic for the COD kiddies.

>>30740876
I was more confused that they needed to PC this game that hard.

The game is blacker than BF4 where it made far more sense to have black soldiers.

Daily reminder that the only black soldiers on the Western Front were French colonial troops and the Harlem Hellfighters.

>>30740876

I usually don't give any fucks at all about token minorities in games, but having black German soldiers in a WWI games is just so absurd that at first I thought the poster is shooped by some /pol/tard. It's as if someone took a joke too far.

>>30742536
they had to know that anyone that has ever read any book ever would say "I didn't think there that many black people in Germany back then"

>>30738748
It has probably got nothing to do with EA, and everything to do with DICE being Swedish.

>>30742589

I'm a Eurofag (bordering Germany) and two decades ago if a black guy walked through a town everyone was pointing fingers at him and whispering to each other, children were scared and old ladies were crossing themselves.
Yes, everyone knew black people existed from movies and shit, but actually meeting one was akin to a native American warrior on a horse riding through your town.
The notion that black people were anywhere near commonplace in pre-WWI germany is so crazy I can't even imagine the amount of affirmative conditioning you'd have to undergo to seriously push it into the game.

bro I mean how many could there have been. I'm sure there was at least one asian guy in the mix too. Should the game have a whole class of asian people now? Same as having blacks fighting for the US. Except for a few propaganda units like the hellfighters blacks werent allowed to fight for the most part

>>30742799
BF games usually only has a single model for a specific class. It's not really a SJW agenda or anything like that in this case. I doubt they'd litter black guys where they don't belong in the single player campagin either.

That said, they had pulled SJW shit before, like in battlefront and female storm troopers.

>>30745649
>I'm sure there was at least one asian guy in the mix too. Should the game have a whole class of asian people now?
Sure why the fuck not? Hell, make pilot models Siamese, since Siam did send pilots to France during the war, although they actually never participated in any battles.

The difference is that these things actually existed at the time.

That's interesting. He did a video and alluded to something, but never outright said anything about his work with them. If this is the case, then I think the suggestion that "everything" will be in the game is probably true.

There were a lot of autoloading rifles at the time, even if they were experimental, so it'll be interesting to see how the in-game unlocks go.

For one, there is no way the state of the game shown was "pre-alpha"
Secondly, there is tons on ''Alpha'' footage from the closed ''Alpha''.

Whatever, my point still stands, they aint gonna show off all the weapons and attachments and gadgets and vehicles before launch.

It's Alpha in a marketing sense, not a development sense.

Everything is alpha nowadays, sometimes even after something goes gold they're still in either alpha or beta.

Thats the problem.

The guns were also a "handful" at best, some modifications were never seen (random sights from other guns pasted on to playable guns)

Yet, instead of that, you focus on the social justice aspect.

Nigga, both the guns and the faggots in it are not fucking realistic, nor has battlefield ever really been realistic.

Yeah I agree. That's why I'm probably not going to buy it. Looks like hardline, the mechanics are also shit with the sweet spot.
