While zoomed in you have no idea how much life you have or if you're even getting hit. There needs to be a better indicator of how badly you're hurt during zoom. There is only a small directional arrow that shows you've taken damage, but you have no idea how much. I can't tell if I need to run or keep shooting. 9 times out of 10 I have to run because I don't know if I have the advantage in a fight. Un-zooming to check your health during a fight is a major inconvenience especially with the sharpshooter class since your weapons miss if you're not zoomed.

I'm not asking for a health bar while zoomed. I'm asking for better bigger screen notification while zoomed.

If you are being hit as a sniper then you need to relocate- assume that if one enemy can see you, then all enemies can.
This is not a good thing under almost every circumstance as a sniper.

Though I will say that when in turret mode for a C class, you are "zoomed in" and also cannot tell what your HP is.
I had to constantly turn to check and then tell my friend what his HP bar was via VOIP while we were defending the AA turret, just so that he knew when to get out, and if he was ok to push forward or not.

Perhaps having a digital display for your HP show up in the bottom middle of your screen when scoped in_

I don't think you need an HP display while zoomed, just better feedback.  I would like to see your scope crack when your viewscreen does, as well as more feedback when you take damage, such as your scope shaking.

I agree completely; I've been saying this in-game to my friends too many times. You either continue your snipe fight to try and be victorious and die because you had no idea how low your health was, or you waste precious time taking yourself out of scope, check health, rescope when you didn't need to.

I'm sure it's this way for balance.  There's a lot of games where you can't see your health or ammo while zoomed.
