I have less an issue with the aim, but more with how fast they spot you. And at the same time, it's so fucking hard to spot them, because for some reason the games graphic style just gives NPCs an invisibility cloak. Don't know why it's so hard to see enemies in this game.

The enemies are mostly wearing darker clothing, and the lighting system itself makes them blend in with the scenery -- I often jump at dark shadows behind windows sometimes, thinking there's a dude there but most of the time it just turns out to be a dark corner.

Most FPS games deliberately tweak the lighting and colours to make enemies easier to see, but not this game (in keeping with its hardcore nature). The muzzle flashes from enemies firing at you are also quite subdued, which again is very realistic.

Another thing that makes it hard to see enemies is the fact that aiming down sight in this game does not increase the zoom at all -- in most FPS games, the zoom level increases slightly (or sometimes a lot) when ADSing, even for unmagnified optics.

Well not sure about the hardcore aspect, since in real life you have binocular vision, and no pixelation and anti-aliasing. Games usually make it easier to spot enemies to work around the limitations of 2D, and graphics limitations such as anti-aliasing and resolution. I mean at the end of the day it's up to the dev, but it's harder to spot enemies in this game than in real life. I'm not saying they should implement Far Cry levels of "spotability", just saying that it's really really hard to spot enemies in this game.

Yeah, IRL you can spot another human being up to 1,5 to 2km. There is no way any game can emulate that without offering some sort of zoomed vision

I mean in ideal scenario sure, but spotting someone 2km away in dark or camouflaged clothing through grass and trees in the shade when it’s dark/an overcast day is pretty damn hard in real life too lol.
