Variable Zoom/Canted Sights Toggle Without ADS

It seems that using canted sights or variable zoom scope requires you to actively aim down sights in order to switch between zoom levels or between regular scope and canted sight. I'd like to be able to switch between those without having to aim, and some kind of indicator showing which one is active. BF4 had a great one at the bottom center of the screen which showed the toggle for zoom/canted sight/laser, the two gadgets and the zeroing of your weapon, as well as the keybind for each.
