More animations for adjustable iron sights

[blissful viper]

So the live broadcast gremlins decided to interfere, but in the latest stream it sure seemed like @wanton river was about to show us that the new rifle has animated adjustments to the rear sights when the zeroing perk is used. That's fantastic (assuming I'm right) and I can't wait to see it in action.

It would surely be a lot of work, but I'd be remiss if I didn't take the opportunity to suggest that other applicable weapons get the same treatment. Ultimately that'd be anything with a field-adjustable rear sight, which would largely overlap with the rifles with military origins. No small task but it would be a huge increase in immersion.

It would also dovetail nicely with another suggestion of mine to rework zeroing in the game to be a default ability tied to the weapons and optics, while the perk would become the ability to be more precise with it: https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/1071914427940610168

Honestly never thought about it, but this would be *** AWESOME***

If I’m not mistaken the .470 also has this.

You're right! I don't use it much (that'll be changing in two weeks) so I'd forgotten. The only animated sight I'd remembered is the one on the drilling, but that's tied to swapping modes rather than zeroes.

And having just reminded myself of what it looks like on the .470, I think they could probably get away with similarly vague animations (in which the hand blocks the actual adjustment) for most of the guns. So maybe it wouldn't be as daunting a task as I made it out to be.

It really adds that bit of character in a game full of plastic and polymer rifles (as much as they look good, can you really go wrong with wood???).
