My longtime issue with how simplistically sniper glints work in BF games

Actually my idea was to simply add glint if the sun hits the scope (top of a hill) and remove it if it doesn't. Someone suggested to add and increase glint intensity the longer you hold ADS, but your idea takes the cake.

I would prefer no glint until you shoot, but yes, I think you nailed it. It definitely gives players who like stealth to play more tactical and to their role rather then playing playing a long range version of "wack the mole"
