I think that if smart link not descoping on hit is here to stay, at least let us smart link with precision weapons as an additional level of zoom, because scopes are inferior to smart link in a firefight.
I feel like every weapon has it’s optimal range, weapon balancing feels really good in this game.
I genuinely believe the AR is designed to have better range than Sidekick as the Sidekick beats it at close range.
Sidekick -> AR -> Commando -> BR
Smart-Link should be able to get descoped, not the other way around.
Also it shouldn’t affect red reticle range. It gives the AR too much range zoomed, while the Sidekick doesn’t have enough range unzoomed.

Where is my DMR and silenced SMG?

I would prefer it if smart link got descoped, but I feel like 343 wants to keep it as it is for whatever reason. Hopefully they add descope to smart link before launch.
