I'd forgotten I never had taken this from my custom build and uploaded it by it's self for others to use so here it is for anyone that's interested. The only thing this does is increase how much scopes zoom in when you aim with them. The pictures are taken using some Reticles by Flash and with my Closer Irons Collims Holos and Scopes mod installed but they are neither included nor are they required.

I significantly increased the zoom of the 2x, 3x, 4x & 8x scopes to what I felt was better/more realistic. For example the 4x scope has a slightly higher zoom now than the 8x did in vanilla and my 2x is the vanilla 4x. This made the game more fun for me because I actually swap scopes between situations now instead of just leaving a 4x and a 8x on my guns all the time like with vanilla values. FWIW the APC in the picture is about 66 meters away according to the game.

I also increased max binocular zoom to around what the 8x is for the low tier scope and the high tier scope. The middle tier is more around a 6. 5-7x as it only has 2 zoom levels vs the other scopes. Low zoom on the binos are around 4-5x for tier 1 & 3 and probably around 3x for the tier 2.

Any file that modifies "\Stalker2\Content\GameLite\GameData\EffectPrototypes.cfg" AimingFov values or "\Stalker2\Content\GameLite\GameData\ItemPrototypes\AttachPrototypes.cfg" will possibly conflict with this, I did this mod with bpatch method so hopefully there is minimal conflicts but I have no idea who has or hasn't changed either of those in their mods. I didn't modify anything in AttachPrototypes.cfg for this mod I only mentioned it because a lot of mods touch that.
