Gunsight reticle in CloD
 

There is one thing I can't get my head around in CloD - the gunsight reticle visible at all times (depending on the environment), even if the bulb is switched off. I know this has been discussed before, I thought it was a definitive bug, but as I raised the issue at the bugtracker:

http://www.il2bugtracker.com/issues/201

...there is quite a few votes against. I still believe that there should be nothing reflecting on the glass when the thing is switched off, I had a good look at few gunsights and I never noticed anything like we have ingame. Perhaps someone with more insight might be able to shed some light :o on this please.

...why not? I think the "reticle source" can very well be reflected up through the sight. It's not like the actual plate containing the reticle is covered or something while switched off, is it?

Have you seen anything like that in real life? I have not hence the question.

Yes, I have. The stock reflector sight on my FN P90S carbine is unpowered. It simply collects ambient light. So if ambient light can reach the right spot I think it's not unreasonable to see a dim aiming cue.

never thought about this before,...interesting and definitely sounds strange...
but what i have a problem with, is the current crosshair when the light bulb is on....it was fine a few patches ago, but then this was changed with a patch about a year ago, and now its hardly visible at all.

Yes i remember some users complaining, can't remember if it was here or over sukhoi.ru, that the original sight effect was quite hard to aim with and ask for the laser shapes gunsight like in 46, decision that i don't share the original reflec sight effect was exelent, and with the bulb off the effect should be less noticeable as now there's quite no difference between Off-On modes.

yes, I have. And I've just decided to no longer bother with individuals like you.
