Handheld weapons' ironsight colors are horribly picked for bright environments.

[CMDR Nathan Atterlein]

Personally, I only experienced this with the AR-50 and Tormentor, although since both manticore and kinematic weapon families have similar internal design, I dare say most (if not all) guns' ironsights are horribly designed by its manufacturers for use in bright environments. Should be a non-issue in 3307, if nowadays-manufacturers can avoid this error.

Attached a few screenies for example. This could easily be solved, if the reticle had a black outline, and the inside-color would be swapped out to neon green, or whatever they wish.

I know FDev has far more pressing matters to attend to right now, but it would be great, if there was a change on this front too.

Totally agree, though it's not the first time it has been suggested. I think somewhere aesthetics got chosen over practicality.

I would think functionality to be important so liked.

Absolutely agree, The sights are almost useless in bright conditions and should in 3307 have an adaptive filter.

Trying to use any of the manticore sights in twilight of any kind is horrible.

Especially since the colour is so close to that of the night-vision green.

Sure would be nice if I could tell where my gun was pointing

I mean.. if the scope mod would actually make the reticle more clearly visible.. but nooOo

This is what happens when devs with no experience with FPS or guns make an FPS. There is a reason optics IRL are red/green.

Could be red, or the inverse of the background color.

Could be red, or the inverse of the background color.

Inverse color works too, although what I recently experienced during mapping for work, is that if you use bright colored (i.e. red) letters over open street map sat layers, it's not always enough to be clearly visible over all surfaces. But.. if you add a black stroke to the letters, giving it a dark outline, it will be perfectly visible over any type of background. Fdev could use whatever fancy bright coloring they wish for their reticles,

if only they given them a black outline...
