The M145 Machine Gun Optic, or MGO, is a variant of ELCAN's SpecterOS 3.4x designed for Canadian Forces (Salute! =D). It was first adopted back in 1989 by the Canadian military, designated as C79 scope, and has been widely equipped on C7 assault rifles, C8 carbines, and C9 light machineguns. (Canadian's M16, M4, M249). The U.S military eventually adopted C79, with some modifications, and designated it as M145.Like what happened on ACOG mentioned in the last post, the reticle on M145 got enlarged in BF3 as well, to compensate for visibility.
Russian 3.4x Optic - BelOMO PK-AW
The PK-AW is the latest variant of the classic design from BelOMO, the PK-A. the W here represents weaver, meaning its made to be mounted on firearms with Weaver Rail Mount. It's been out there for more than a few decades and has proven to be a durable and efficient design.
In BF3, it's elegant, clean, and leave no mess on your screen, and have become every aggressive recon and suppressive PKP operator's go-to scope. But should it be so cool?PK-A in real life, in fact, is a red dot sight, which means its magnification is only 1x, just like Kobra. And it provides a bit less field of view compared to the BF3 counterpart.
Hate to say this, but someone out there did a better job than DICE on this one (not perfect, but better), and you know who that is.... (Don't say the name or you'll get a warm cup of fanboy bash!)
