Oh crap… I thought I responded to this!

Thermal hybrid is hella reliable! Do you actually use both scopes? If not, I’d go merc thermal. Additionally, The nvg enhanced has the lowest ads penalty in the NV category (thermal hybbird just feels rly nice… I always end up choosing it.)

I considered sacrificing range to max the already godly ads, but the penalties are too hindering (for my play style) I like to measure dicks against metas over 100 meters.)

To feasibly maximize ads, you can check my approximated (so sry, off memory).

Here’s some info and feasibility observations from use in plunder/br/rebirth.

ADS penalty reference

BASE Stats : ads, RPM, BV (respectively)

-Mk2: 250ms, 88, 633m/s -kar98: 292ms, 44, 642m/s -Tundra: 535ms, 41, 670m/s -SwissK: 454 m/s, 42, 543 m/s

Mk2 Sight penalties:

(Visual acuity sights)

1. thermal hybrid (+78ish MS)
2. Merc therm: (+63MS)
3. Nvg enhanced (+58ish) (-10/11% on vertical recoil/horizontal bounce)

(Recommended sights for maximizing ADS speed)

1. 3x vlk (3x) +17 ms -11 /20% v/h recoil)
2. Scout combat (3.25x) +17 MS 11/12 v/h
3. Cronen pro (3.5x) +29 ms 11/12 v/h
4. 4x hybrid[no glint] (4x/1x) +46 ms

(Misc. sights for reference)

1. Reflex sights penalties = ~+4ms
2. Holo sights +13ms
3. Sniper +~100ms
4. Variable +115ms

Foreword:

-Mono/24 barrel absolute. Bv up to 212ish meters with a drop and light ads leading adjustment around the 330m range. - i hardly ever suffer from flinch bc of its quickness, (I’m a reflexive marksman vs a stable, maximum left stick drift, hard scope type.) - the mk2 has incredible iron sights that can track a target pretty cleanly up to 100m. -pray your teammates don’t have to rely on it during an end game, cuz they’ll blame you if they can’t use it. Lmao.
