Platform:Sony Playstation 4
Please specify your platform model. Sony PlayStation 4

Which part of the mode? Conquest
Please select your region North America
On which server did this happen?
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) 1.29.19.06:00
Summarize your bug Tank optics - first person zoom bug. When attempting to zoom in first person, it black screens on occasion, remedied by releasing and hitting it again.
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Spawn in any tank, switch to first person, use zoom optics. Screen may or not go black. To remedy, exit zoom optics and go back into it.
What happens when the bug occurs? Black screen, which can be remedied by hitting zoom ops again. Before the last patch, this was happening on occasion, but now I feel it has been more frequent.
What should be happening instead? No zoom optics bug.

I use tanks 90% of my play time, only play infantry on Fijell. Has not been fixed since the first patch, and the last one made it worse-- some near deaths have occurred. I'm not sure if this has affected players on multiple consoles or not.

    This also happens on PC and it's still an unresolved issue. It happens quite frequently.

    @EA_Atic @EA_Blueberry Can this please be forwarded to the team, if it hasn't already? This is still a huge problem. Every other time I zoom in the screen turns black. So I end up having to zoom out and back in. It causes my tank to lose a number of times to enemies, or I lose the enemy infantry who could have been killed.

    @SterlingARCH3R 

    Would you mind attaching a DxDiag to this post? I'm sure you've already tried reinstalling the GPU driver and repairing/reinstalling the game, but I haven't seen other reports about this posted elsewhere either. Very strange it's happening every other time you zoom in. Does it happen if you only use one monitor to see if we can see if it's connected to display settings?

    @EA_Blueberry I'm only using the one monitor but it's a BFV issue. The UI appears while the scoped zoom in turns black. As soon as I zoom out, the normal visuals appear (i.e. not black).

    I've attached the dxdiag file.

    @The_Tubador This also happens on Xbox, there is also a bug where it will take you back into 3rd person but you lose your HUD and the screen gives a bluish tint with a slight vignette as if you are looking through a scope at your tank in 3rd person and the only way to fix it is to go back into 1st, zoom in and then out
