Steyr Aug scope

[Valorman]

The Aug should should have a scope similar to the barret. After all, the Aug, does have a scope. Im not saying it should have a long range scope. Maybe just 1X only type of zoom.

[Commander Kitsune]

Kind of useless imo. I really don't know why...

[Valorman]

How is it useless? The Aug is a mid-long range weapon that fires pretty far. I think its dumb that you cant take full advantage of its range.

[Ziem]

I think that aug is powerful enough.

[excruciator]

if you think about it, steyr has a rather short range for a scope

[SDFilm]

I don't think the Steyr should have zoom just because it has a scope as standerd; because if you're going for realism, all of the primary weapons exacpt M79 and minigun have scope attachments made for them.

WTF!?

[excruciator]

yes but steyr AUG got out of the factory with a scope on it, MP5 and Ak had to buy a scope themselves

[SDFilm]

^ H&K and Izhevsk Mechanical Works buy their scopes from other companys you say?

Although the Steyr has a scope as standerd and is visible in the game, It isn't really a reason to put it into the weapon balance unless maybe you have it as an option in Realistic mode.

The steyr aug is in no way the gun that it would be most appropriate to add a scope to.   I'm not going to play 1.3.2 and say "Oh yeah baby! this is so much fun because the aug has the scope it has in real life!"

You make no sense what so ever.

A scope is for sniping, or scouting.  The barret scope is short enough that it isn't much use for scouting, os if the Aug scope wasn't even as long as the barret it wouldn't be very useful.  The only thing it really would be good for would be camping at base and spraying.

They should have made up names for ever gun. That way people wouldent make pointless threads like this relating guns in games to their real life counterparts

[papercut]

would you have to stop and prone with it to use the scope? would anyone EVER use it?

[Brock]

I think it's a cool idea.  I'm a HUGE fan of Steyr.  I use it 80-90% of the time.  I'd use the scope.  I would find it very useful.  I've always wondered why it doesnt have a zoom anyways.  The scope on the top is there for a reason.

True AUG lovers like me would definetly understand what it would be useful for: Keeping the enemy @ bay.  At the max extenet of the Steyr's raqnge, the bullets often are very good at keeping enemies at bay.  It makes them lose momentum quite rapidly if you can get a few good hits in.

I would love a scope for the AUG.

Don't confuse your inability to read and understand plain English with a nonsensical post. It made perfect sense, although it could have been structured a little better. He's saying that the Aug isn't the most appropriate weapon to add a scope to, and the fact that it has a scope in real life is no reason to add one in the game.

  I think that adding a 1/2 screen scope to the Aug might be interesting (assuming you could only use it while crouching or proning), but it may present some balancing issues. If you're scoping, you'll get the first few shots in before your opponent even knows you're there, which would present a major advantage to you.
  That said, I doubt many people would sit there waiting for their next opponent to draw near when there are flags to be capped (don't know about other gamemodes). Autos generally aren't very good weapons to camp with.

I don't support this idea, mainly because It would be quite useless, and the gun would only balanced if the damage was lowered.

a shotgun with slugs instead of buckshot can be quite deadly longer range then birdshot or buckshot, farmers would have to use slugs to hunt deer if they were too poor for a rifle. Buckshot in theory is supposed to be deadly to dear, but many people cannot get close enough to get a shot off.

Jesus christ no!  The AUG is too weak already...


Damage=73

while the other guns...


Damage=113


Damage=104


Damage=86



....  What Vis said...  like 1/2 a screen scope.  Nothing crazy.  Most combat rifles dont have the accurate range to encompensate for anything more than a 1.5x scope.

Please remember that weapons have different ROF(Rate Of Fire), accuracy, clip and reload time which mostly determine which weapon is more powerful than another.

which mostly deremite which weapon is more powerful than another.

Say WHAT now??
