This is true. I played a lot of VR “full realism” games and frequently my squad couldn’t see anything far away (not to mention VR resolution is quite a bit lower than real life)
We resorted to one of us carrying a dedicated 7.62×51 semi-auto rifle with a long range optic (which was me) and a backup weapon. One of the guys carried a spare box of 100× 7.62 just in case, and it worked out great.
Ironically, using the long range optic like a spotter scope was almost as effective as hitting guys on towers, I struggled pretty badly if they were laying down, and the longest hit in the game was 482 meters (yards) on a guy who wasn’t moving at all, and took 3 tries.

I could snipe people from 500m with a 249 with no problem. 2-3 shots no problem.
