Given that we all are immortal cloned mercs outfitted with the latest gear, how exactly do we aim our scoped weapons (Combat Rifle, Rail Rifle, except the Sniper Rifle)? Seems like a small thing to fuss about, but just really curious here.
Do we bring our rifles up and simply rely on our scopes just like modern soldiers do? Which I find primitive since our helmets are smart enough to magnify zoom with just a thought (exampled here Operation Highlander Chronicle)
Or does our scopes interface with our helmets like this
Star Wars Battlefront Sight
I know gameplay displays just relying on scopes but I figured gameplay is a bit different from lore just because it'd be too confusing and resource-intensive otherwise.
Mercs in lore can magnify zoom with just a thought, cycle thru X-ray and thermal imaging with just a thought, and even toggle the sight to be a remote camera of sorts (from here on page 68 Ruthless
Thoughts? Eve Online lore team hopefully?

i remember playing with the camera scope...only thing I didn't like was the loss of situational awareness....=P
True, I was thinking that except that'll only happen when we raise our rifles (like our raising would trigger that visual data coming in) since not having our rifles raised while aiming would disorient us I'd imagine.

Wait why not the Caldari suits? Just wondering here
As for iron sights, I think it's just when we have a scope available that our helmets are linked. We could zoom in with just a thought and still use iron sights although a bit less accurate.
And Aztec, I forgot about the recoil thing. Solid point

Im gonna assume all helmets have multiple optical sensors we just cant see since minmatar technically only have one eye. Given that all of our animations involve using the nonexistent right eye... =P

MIna, I completely agree since in gameplay having the computer calculate everything would essentially be aim assist..
In lore, I think the helmet displays the targeting solution (where to aim, how long to press the trigger, etc) and it's up to us to actually point the rifle that way and fire. Since we are still technically human, it's only natural for us to raise our rifle to eye level when we shoot. At least, that's how I think it works.
On a related note, do capsuleers ever miss their shots? This could help us answer this question.
I honestly think we just need more lore specifically for Dust.

So we can technically just hipfire all the time and use camera sights and the computer? (I'm talking about lore here not gameplay in case anyone is wondering) And still hit everything on target? Mina, is this what you're getting at? Just want to make sure.
