Well, setting FOV to 55 plus using zoom gives you incredible scope abilities. It can be abusable by archers/crossbowmen, have normal 75 FOV for all situations and 3rd/1st person mode for sniping. I have no problems with giving them a possibility to increase FOV, but decreasing will be hardly abused on strat battles. Have a look, just standing on the same place (and that 3rd person mode is not set to the furthest camera position like most people play with).

doesn't matter, crosshair only shows your accuracy but zooming so bad means that you can snipe like mad.

Just change the values so that 75 is lowest FOV.

Well, you have implemented the way to change FOV, without questioning about realism of the thing, this will clearly a buff for ranged.

Actually with a default FOV of 75° zoom give a ×1.5 :

And now with a FOV of 55° zoom give a ×3.4 :

I already know the settings for archers : 55° for first person as a super scope like in COD, and 100° as third person to avoid cavs/infs = profit!!

I see only 3 ways :
1 - Keep it as it is and be sure that at release there will be a massive rage
2 - Force to use the same FOV value for first as for third, this mean you have to balance to a gameplay between full tunnel vision or alien vision. A better way to balance class use.
3 - Remove it completely and stay at 75°

NB : I'm inf, not cav

I'll probably set the lower cap at 70. Have no issue with people using a larger FOV.

That's not an option.

In fact I don't have another ideas, no matter about the poll result, I just hope cmp will do something before release.

Fixed in 30.07.15. If it happens again, open a new thread.
