Historical Reticules

Description
This mod changes the reticule that each of the different scopes in the game use. Each scope now uses it's real life reticule (except for the Lee-Enfield 7x scope) instead of the incorrect reticules that most of them used before.

Reticules that were changed:

Lee-Enfield 4x scope now uses more accurate T-post reticule,
Kar98k 7x scope now uses Zielacht reticule,
Kar98k 4x scope now uses proper ZF39 reticule,
Springfield 7x scope now uses proper Weaver reticule,
Springfield 4x scope now uses accurate Weaver Model 330 single post reticule,
Garand 4x scope now uses proper Lyman Alaskan M82 single post reticule,
FG42 4x scope now uses different ZF4 reticule,
Gewehr 43 4x scope now uses different ZF4 reticule.

I also added a bit of dust to the scope lens and some scratch marks in a few spots on each reticule. I really like the way the regular German scope reticule in DoI has some parts scratched away, so I wanted to try and replicate that here.

I originally just made this mod for myself as I was kind of annoyed how each faction only had one reticule for all of their scopes combined, and didn't offer any variety between them. I thought I would upload it here for anyone who might want it.

I left the files of the old Springfield 4x reticule in this mod's files, for anyone who liked using the old reticule more. They will be in a folder titled "Unertl reticle".

For a historically accurate Lee-Enfield 7x scope reticule I have included links to both versions of Putt Putt The Purple Car's Winchester A5 reticule mod below:

Normal version: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2154264583&searchtext=winchester

Non-cheek rest version: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2154265376&searchtext=winchester

Special thanks to Putt Putt The Purple Car for helping me get this mod to work!


If the mod doesn't work, let me know in the comments and I will do my best to fix it.

Enjoy!

The mod has been updated!

It's all ok, don't worry about it! :steamthumbsup:
My goal with this mod was to add historically accurate reticules to the game instead of the incorrect ones, so I'm just glad that I'm getting help to achieve that goal. I'm not the most knowledgeable on WW2 reticules as a whole, so I really appreciate the feedback when something isn't correct. And I completely understand being tired after work, no need for apologies.

Yeah, from what I saw yesterday when I looked at some pictures of the reticules was pretty much the same as what you said, with the single post and thick at the bottom and a point at the top. I will definitely make sure to use that video as a reference too! I should be able to fix both of the mods soon.

And no problem, I'm just glad that you like my mod!

@BuddyBoyChum: Yeah, Putt Putt is right. It is a single post reticle. I made the mistake of calling it a tapered-post for some reason (must of been very late night and I was tired from work), and I cannot edit the original comment. I just didn't want to be a jerk and say "You did it wrong." as I tend to accept and appreciate what people offer and do.

So I apologize for not saying anything sooner, or, at all. But again, thank you for your work.

Putt Putt will know more than me, but compared to the Winchester A5 that looks to be the same "thickness" the entire length of the post, the Weaver Model 330 and Lyman Alaskan M82 start out thick on the bottom and thins out to the center as a point. Basically like a very skinny, yet tall triangle.
The best reference you can find of this is a "Rising Storm 1 Weapons Showcase" on YouTube and look for the Springfield Sniper in the video.

Hope this helps and I'm sorry for the misinformation before.

Ok, thanks for bringing this to my attention. When I had made the other reticule mod, I had a hard time finding a good (and real) picture of the M82 reticule and I actually used the last picture (https://www.milsurps.com/images/imported/2010/01/9_2200_49-1.jpg) you posted in your message for reference! At the time though I had thought that it had a horizontal line through the reticule, like a tapered-post reticule, so that's why it ended up looking like the M84 reticule. I now know what it's supposed to look like! I'll fix both of the mods in the next few days.

@ Putt Putt The Purple Car, because the Weaver Model 330 and Lyman Alaskan M82 are both single post reticules, I just wanted to know if they look basically the same or if there are any slight differences in appearance between them? The pictures are all pretty blurry so it's kind of hard to tell.

The 4x scope on the M1903a4 and the 4x scope on the M1C Garand in co-op is based on the Weaver Model 330 and Lyman Alaskan M82 telescope respectfully both use a single post reticle like my Winchester A5 mod instead of the Mildot cross reticle on the Springfield 4x scope in this mod meaning your other Lyman Alaskan M82 mod is actually a Lyman Alaskan M84 just thought I'd let you know. http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Day_of_Infamy#M1903A4_Springfield , http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Day_of_Infamy#M1C_Garand and the only real images of them I could find https://www.milsurps.com/showthread.php?t=20008 https://www.gunsamerica.com/digest/m1-garand-sniper-variants-m1c-m1d-part-4-garands-from-the-government/ https://www.milsurps.com/images/imported/2010/01/9_2200_49-1.jpg the last one not being the best quality but you get the idea.

Sounds good! :steamthumbsup:
Von Kilotz 31 Jul, 2021 @ 7:13pm 
In this package, actually. I think it would stand out more than that Unertl reticle.
BuddyBoyChum  [author] 31 Jul, 2021 @ 7:07pm 
Sure, I can try it when I have a couple of days off. Would you like it packed with the other reticles in this mod, or as a standalone reticle change?
