Yes, with the 10x scope you get 3 additional aim clicks when standing. This is a big penalty, because you can't rest your gun anywhere.

"Penalty"?

All right, we're definitely not speaking about the same thing then.

Why is "additional aim clicks" a penalty, since you improve your aim with each click/mouse wheel increment?


==== EDIT ====

I made a test: I gave a Barrett M98 (that's the .338 Lapua Barrett) with a bipod and a "Scope 10x" to Dimitri (to make sure there is no Skill interfering).
Note all stance modifiers were removed from the Barrett M98. The "Scope 10x" retained his default <AimLevels>3</AimLevels> in the <STAND_MODIFIERS> category.

I sent Dimitri to an enemy sector, and once there, gave him an "Energy Boost" shot, to make sure he would have more than enough APs.

This is what I counted while aiming at an enemy: 4 aim clicks while standing or crouched, 8 clicks while prone.

Then I removed the scope 10x to check the difference: 4 aim clicks while standing or crouched, 5 clicks while prone. 3 clicks missing? Hmmm, could it be a coincidence, or did those 3 "standing" clicks end up in "prone"?

To be sure I edited the Items.xml, deleted the current modifier and put <AimLevels>4</AimLevels> in the <PRONE_MODIFIERS> category, to see what changes.
Putting the scope 10x back on the rifle I got: 4 aim clicks while standing or crouched, 8 clicks while prone... The exact same values as with the default setting.
This proves the game doesn't give a damn about "AimLevels". angry
