The VRCO-S is a prism scope in ArmA 3. It was added with the release of the Reaction Forces Creator DLC.
Design[]
The VRCO-S is designed exclusively for use on pistols:
Just like its parent optic, the VRCO-S features the ability to toggle between two magnification "modes" that provide either a wide field-of-view or a narrow but zoomed in field-of-view with a fixed magnification of 2x.[CfgWp 1][CfgWp 2][Formula 1] The scope uses a fixed zeroing of 100 m regardless of the toggled magnification "mode".[CfgWp 3][CfgWp 4]
The scope's lens is not thermally opaque and 'hot' targets can be clearly seen through even with thermal vision activated. It should also be noted that the VRCO-S is not interchangeable with its primary weapon counterpart. Primary weapons do not accept being fitted with the VRCO-S and vice versa for its parent model.
Mounting the VRCO-S onto a pistol will increase its inertia penalty by +0.1.[CfgWp 6]
AI[]
NOTE: The information in this section only applies to the AI.
The VRCO-S is classified[1] as a type 1 optical sight.[CfgWp 7] If the weapon is configured with AI-only firemodes[2], AI units that have the VRCO-S mounted onto their weapon will have access to medium range firemodes but not far (type 2) range firemodes.[3]
Trivia[]
- The VRCO-S appears to be modelled after the "Spitfire" series of prism scopes designed by Vortex Optics, an optics manufacturer based in the state of Wisconsin, U.S.A.[4]
- Minor adjustments were applied to the VRCO-S after the release of Update 1.0.1 (the update seemingly lowers the resolution of its textures from 4096x4096 down to 2048x2048).[5]
