Its been updated with a thorough explanation.
But let's just double back to a crucial bit of info;

Look at what this 3D Game Programming guide for example has to say;

Typical first-person point-of-view games use a 90-degree FOV and often have a 60-degree FOV (or even smaller) zoomed-in view for their sniper scopes or binoculars

Yep, that is all there is to it! |
GAME DEVELOPERS USE FOV TO MAKE ZOOMED IN BINOCULAR AND TELESCOPIC VIEWS!
Yep, it really is all about FOV!
If you want, I can even BUILD you 'mock binoculars' in CLoD, by doing nothing more than changing the FOV and introducing a black outline texture! Its THAT simple!
In other words, every time I switch to 30 fov in IL2 CLoD, its as if I was using what most games call 'binoculars' - it's the same zoomed in view and all it is missing is the black outline texture. But even this 'binocular' view still doesn't make individual objects appear at 1:1 apparent size because my monitor is still too small.
