Why are Russians optics so complicated for no reason?

www.google.com

The ascending numerical scale is for rangefinding, a 1.7 meter target 200 meters away will fit in between the 2 and the line below, same for 4-10 at their respective ranges, that's really all it is.

got the paper? the PGO is just as easy to use

What you have to understand, is that these were degsined during soviet union era.
/
This partly comes from trauma of WW2, where soviet lack of technical education hurt them badly whenever the conscript had to operate anything more complicated than a nugget.

Russian wanted to have mass conscript army that would operate modern tanks, fly modern jets and sail modern subs. And they wanted huge industry that would degsin, maintain and produce these things. So, they needed lot of educated manpower with technical and engineering background.

Thats why in post war soviet union era, you had very extensive state funded and mandatory school education for every kid. Technical and engineering eduation and knowledge were something that was especially valued because of soviet obesssion with heavy industry.

Now, this allowed russian army leadership to pressume that every soviet soldier would have the basic math knowledge to effectively utilize the relatively simple tools like this here optics.

Unlike american army that had to deal with large amounts of home-schooled rednecks who would have severe problems if they had to do perform some simple maths without using their fingers. Not to mention the constnt risk of brain aneurysm when facing words that had more than three syllabes. Like "Stadiametric Rangefinder" .

I hope this answers your question .

I have a civilian 4x POSP and the range finder is set to 1.5m. Perfect for range finding Asians

The PSO is probably the least complicated optic with a built in range finder, wind, and drop compensations ever devised

They're optics made for a white man's brain. You have to have a high IQ to get it, Amerimutt.

I've always though using them as a rangefinder was a terrible idea. What if the guy isn't standing, or is something retarded like 4 or 7 feet tall?

>1.5 meter target
is that for shooting manlets?

after readin only thing I can think of is "and somehow these people won the cold war"

destroy all manlets.

this looks like the cover of some esoteric /mu/ album

I assumed that the American army knew that they could always count on plenty of redneck hunters who were good shots with very simple target sites. deer hunting needs higher accuracy then battlefield stuff, and people hunt deer with some pretty crude sites.

>target sites
I am ashamed to share America with you.

gotcha

It's the civilian version that isn't meant to be used for range finding people. Would be perfect for an Elk, or similar game. Alternatively just range find from the chin, down

German tank sights drive vidya players crazy.

Better for hunting or rangefinding if the desired target is not a man. It also makes calculation easy: if my target is only 1m in height, the shooter uses the rangefinder just as he would normally, but the true range is 2/3x the distance shown. Same if the target is 3m tall, except the true range is 2x the distance indicated.

...And yet, that was the only part of my post you were able to challenge. A minor gramatical error made by non-english speaker.

I rest my case, my american friend.

Just eyeball it lol
>t. extensive experience in battlefield

That's not a sight, that's a fucking computer

It's like the G11 of optics

You can use it to look at other things, like a doorway or a car or something like that. It's only going to be an estimate anyways.

Hah, you lost a proxy war to people you think are idiots.

i thought this was an advanced loss.jpg

Why yes manlets are considered serious threats to Russians

Not really.

So are there any optics that offer a PSO style reticule and rangerfinder, but on a modern scope?

Wolf makes one for 5.56

Wrong. You dial for the range. The chevron's are for ranges after 1000m.

All things considered, that’s a simple scope and not really complicated. Kebab sniper kids and drunk Russians use it fine.

If he's 4ft hes probably already committed suicide. If hes 7ft just use a slingshot.

daily reminder those manlets lost

That k:d tho.

Americans. They hate numbers n' shit.

watch this burger shit kiddo

When you literally want to lose your target behind the cover of all your fucking optics hashmarks.

I practice RPG runs in Stalker. I should be good enough in the real world.

You should never have guns if you do not know how that scope works.

I just got this.

The cheveron is every 200 meters.

Because random Russian military optic that nobody really uses outside of niche larpers? Ok bud.

Width and hieght scale. Proper. Shame about the 5.56 reticle tho. not everybody shoots the most common round out there. Me likes snowflake rounds.

Except that's not some random Russian military optic that nobody really uses.

OP is not only a drooling brainlet, he's also just outed himself as someone who has never laid hands on a single military videogame, simulator or otherwise that features a PSO-style reticle on scopes

he's never played STALKER, Dayz, or any iteration of ARMA, ladies and gentlemen. I rest my case.

The horizontal line is usually the average shoulder width of someone. You use that whenever they are prone, crouching or standing. The vertical space is better used for ranging vehicles and far away objects as reference points.

Son the Russians don't take a shit without a plan

>tool for seeing shit

Did Ford design this?
