But at the same time disappearing trees and items, plus "hidden" things like that, are a serious issue. I too would like to see the problem gone

Another example is when you in a pintle mount and looking around things are clear when sliding in right next to a tree. But if you zoom, suddenly you can't see through the leaves/bushes anymore because you are too close. Affects main gun too, giving someone that can aim at range without zooming a distinct advantage in see the other person.
