Is there a way to make the reticule smaller in Hurricanes and Spitfires?
I know I can illuminate it,but I want to reduce it's size it's far too big historically,if anybody could suggest anything I'd be very grateful,thanks.

You can't make it smaller, and if you could you would break it as a measuring device (unless you knew what size you were changing it to). The sight in game is calibrated (100 mils?) and will stay the same size independant of view setting due to how a reflector sight works. You can change the width of the secondary sights through the wingspan/distance dials below the sight though, to allow for measurement against differently sized opponents.

Mmm pity....although surely the calibration is done via the vertical and horizontal lines,so as long as those stay as the length/height they are,then we could have a smaller circle within those parameters yes?
Look at these photos and vid link of a real Spit reflector gunsight and you'll see what I'm driving at,it's much more orange,almost warm,glowing,not the dull yellow colour that is in game,any modders out there that could reproduce this please,this would look superb if it can be done.

When it gets sorted out I hope they also sort out the lighting effect of it because it looks crap right now, and nothing like the real gunsight light does. Ultrapack has better lighting for it than COD.

Yes, I totally agree,just have a look at the pics and the You Tube vid link that I am uploading now,all from original MKl/ll reflector gunsights that were in service until 1941.So it would have been on all Spits and Hurris during the BOB.
