Scope Glint needs to go.
Honestly, the claim that scope glint is the only way to balance scoped weapons in gameplay is a lazy excuse for an equally lazy mechanic that effectively not only punishes players for using a scoped ...

I agree. I like playing the class as intended, using cover and concealment when possible. It's pretty difficult if not sometimes impossible to be stealthy when you have a beacon beaming off your rifle anytime you aim, even to survey an area.
Yeah, this is the loop that kills recon for most. It's just an endless fight of strafing while shooting, its become so silly where you have to tap crouch and strafe against other snipers because you always know where each other are so you spend 80% of the time just fighting another sniper.. Hardly an immersive "battlefield" if we're beacons on the sidelines.
I'd be for slower bolt-action mechanics to increase time between shots as a method of balancing as well. It's realistic and also gives players getting shot at time to find cover if we couldnt finish them off (so you better aim properly lol).
Many solutions to this problem i feel, glint just isnt one.
Yeah, it's unfortunate that more effort would likely not be made to make the class more unique and balanced, but we can hope. I will say that having binoculars would help, but not be a solution. BF4 used a ranging scope that I usually utilized to find targets before switching to my weapon to engage them without giving away my position hopefully. I also don't think it would be moving too heavy into a milsim. Milsims are usually much slower paced and more deliberate. But BF has usually, in my experience, been more of an arcade like milsim to begin with in contrast to CoD which is more of an arcade shooter with military skins and weapons. That said, I think that BF6 can separate the classes , weapon capabilities and play styles more while still maintaining an arcade style of gameplay.
