Testing the Velio 8 reticle

I found the manual for the optic its based on irl, which is the Sig Sauer ROMEO8. The only configurations that I couldn't get 100% right were the altitude and the primary zero, but I don't think altitude affects the gun's ballistics in this game. Still, I made sure to be level with my targets, and for some reason, the optic zeroes in intervals of 16 meters, so the closest I could get to 100 meters was 107 (Starting from 30). Besides this, everything was exactly as Sig Sauer tested it. For 350, it wasn't that bad. 4/10 rounds hit the target. My biggest issue was that the bullets had quite a bit of overshoot, and that became much more apparent at 500 and 700 meters, where none of the bullets hit the target. Btw, I chose 700 meters rather than 675 to give the optic the benefit of the doubt, because of the overshoot. So, I suggest the devs decrease the gap between each dot so it will actually be functional. Or, I recommend that they shrink the size of the whole reticle, because irl it looks noticeably smaller. Aslo if you were wondering, I tested it by tapping 10 rounds, and then quickly checking my results using a range camera. Bullet holes last about 10 seconds, and this process takes like 5, so I'm pretty sure it wasn't that the holes were disappearing. I also could typically see my final bullet zooming by overhead when I checked the camera.

Sorry it gets a bit blurry at the end

Besides the price, they are essentially the exact same optic, just with different battery sizes. But one of them looks like something out of gen 2, and the other looks clean. I think its an issue with the first optics cutout. Btw, i made sure to place both optics on the exact same rail, so its not a perspective issue.
