Speaking of HARDscope, I'm not sure if I was the first one who started to make historical crosshair or he was, the two mods were at RU and EU forums separately, maybe we both started modding on each side not knowing each other at the beginning. In the middle of my mod development, I did learn some Russian reticle types and designs from HARDscope mod and made my own later on, given him credits ever since. But I'm sure the shell reloading and other reticle animations, armor recognition scheme, the intelligent arty crosshair and all other designs are my original.
It's unfortunate that they don't credit me if they are using my designs... Well, but look to the bright side, at least there is still someone working on it, it's good for the community anyway.
At least you guys still remember my mod and me, it's good enough for me:)
PS. will you including my flag mod in your next update?
