Anvart - let me see if I understand what you're saying - right now (without my having changed anything), my mouse wheel will switch/zoom back and forth between the standard settings (usually two) at various stations -e.g., 1x or 4x at the obs scope, 1.5x or 6x at the attack scope, bridge view or binoculars on the bridge, and the various set zoom levels at the deck gun.

If you make the change you note above, does this mean that if you press CTRL while rolling your mouse wheel you can do some sort of variable zoom in smaller increments between these standard zoom settings? (e.g., 1x, 2x, 3x and 4x at the obs scope, instead of just either 1x or 4x?) If so, while it sounds neat, why would you do that? Except perhaps for the deck gun (where I'm not really sure what the differing zoom levels are supposed to represent), weren't the zoom levels of these other positions/instruments fixed at specific magnifications IRL, rather than variable?

One thing I am curious about - in GWX I believe that they have increased the attack scope magnification to 10x to try to compensate for the difficulty in seeing the flags or something. I was OK with the regular 6x image, but I don't have any huge problem with changing the image to actually be bigger than it was before, because I have no idea how big either the 1x or the 6x image through the scope really was IRL. However, seeing the number "10x" where it's "supposed" to be 6x is an immersion spoiler to me - is there some way to either return this zoom level (and the associated number displayed in game) to the original 6x or, in the alternative, leave the image at the new 10x size but make the number read 6x in game like it used to?
