=== Calibration ===
Sights are said to be set for 50 and 100 meters. There is no way to manually adjust or zero in your sights.
=== Types of Sights ===
==== Iron Sights ====
Almost all guns have iron sights. They are designed like their real life counterparts. They typically have a front sight and a rear sight. Refer to real life references on how to use them. Many guns have tritium style lights on the sights to help with shooting in low light conditions.
==== Reflex Sights ====
Reflex sights (also known as reflector or holographic sights) are attachments that project a reticle image on a transparent surface. The operator can see the reticle from a much larger field of view.
==== Magnified Sights ====
Magnified sights are attachments that provide an enlarged image helping the operator see and target far off objects.
==== Lasers ====
Not a sight per se, lasers project a dot onto the target indicating where the gun is aimed.
=== Ghost of Tabor Sights ===
Due to the limitations of Quest hardware, sights in Tabor do not always work as you would expect.
==== Iron Sights ====
These work as expected for the most part. You may find the rear sight doesn't flip down or pops back up expectantly. Just removed the sight attachment and put it back on and it should fold down the iron sight.
==== Reflex Sights ====
The best way to understand reflector sights in Ghosts of Tabor is to imagine the reticle is being projected onto your screen. The sight then defines when you see the reticle. Having the sight closer to you makes the visible area larger. Having the sight farther away makes the sight visible in a smaller area. The size of the reticle is the same regardless of how far away you put the sight. You can see this in the below image where two identical scopes are stacked on each other and the reticles overlap perfectly. How far away you place the sight is a compromise between how much of the screen is taken up by the scope body, how much field of view you can see the reticle, and personal preference.
==== Magnified Sights ====
Magnified sights in video games require a second image to be rendered or the existing image to be duplicated and stretched to give the impression of magnification. In Ghosts of Tabor, some users experience a performance drop severe enough that they chose to avoid using magnified sights. There have been complaints of blurry or dark images. Luckily most combat in Ghosts of Tabor are close enough that magnified sights are not a necessity. Some magnified scopes have adjustable zoom that is changed using the trigger button.
==== Lasers ====
Lasers are effective in Ghosts of Tabor. You activate them using the trigger button on the off hand. The laser cycles between three modes: off, visible, and infrared. The lasers are extremely visible even in full daylight. The beam in particular is unnaturally bright making using lasers a double edged sword as they give away your location and what direction you are aiming.
==== Flashlights ====
On higher settings, the flashlight has concentric rings. Because they come out along the bore axis, they can be used as a rough aiming guide. On lower settings, the flashlight effect may just be a circle.
=== Reticle Comparisons ===
As a player without much experience with real life scopes, it can be confusing where to put the reticle on the target. Even after adjusting for range, some players have reported needing to aim higher than expected to hit targets. This section aims to help illuminate how to use the reticles in the game. Holo EXPS G43 Combo magnifier scope will be used a lot in comparisons as it is regarded as an easy to use and clear sight with thin reticle lines.
In most of these images the center point is aligned but the scale of the reticles is not. The magnification of the scope nearest to the eye causes the sight's reticle farther from the eye to be larger.
