It's sadly a more common practice than you think.

Also, we're talking about models here. A circle made for a game is obviously not really round, because it's made of triangles. Most models have a very easily visible topmost triangle that can serve as vertical and horizontal aid.

Well the just dont make the round land where the triangle point is. Make it land like a meter to the left or something.

I made a simple graphic to indicate what I picture for this system:

As indicated, if the point of aim is high enough above the mesh of the optic in the animations, using cues from said mesh is less efficient in cqb. Also, most optics have zeroing knobs, or other disrupting shapes such as fiber-optic components that would further impede horizontal assistance. The only scope I can think of with a shape that would prove useful here is the MARS sight with magnifier, as there already exists a small protrusion seemingly designed for this very scenario (or in the event of an electronic failure in the sight).

Yeah! Walmarx knows whats up!

Would it be possible to press C to aim over the scope/barrel with iron sights. With the gun up you'd run at normal pace or just under normal pace (but faster than the walk you do with normal sights) and have a tighter grouping. Would help for firing on an assault and room clearing, Currently with room clearing I never go in aiming because I always end up exposing my arm before I can actually shoot into the room. I have to run in and hipfire.

Resuggestion, kangaroo. At least for scopes.
