Alliance medium weapons?

Naoura:
I posted this a long time ago, and thought it would make for a really useful change to the rangefinder

Basically, it's a binocular reticule, with ranging found on an x-y axis on the bottom right. I had the thought of utilizing the Rangfinder not only to make shots more accurate, but also help teach the arcs of some of the weapons, allowing lower level players to not be as much of a nuisance when they refuse to budge from gunner.

While moving the weapon while another player is using this Rangefinder, the indicators on both the X and Y axes will move in accordance with the turning speed and available arc of the weapon. When in the ideal firing position, the indicators will change to a soft golden color, making it a little more obvious as to when the arc is correct without being overly obnoxious. Only the indicator that is in a proper firing arc will flash, so that finding the X or Y axis would be somewhat independent.

It would help teach the weapon to lower level players, as well as helping higher level players snipe from incredibly long distances, making the rangefinder's lack of an ability to spot worth the risk of bringing it. Extreme distance sniping would be allowable, but still difficult, especially if the Rangefinder still refuses to accept ammunition modifiers.
