Furthermore, it wouldn't be possible to simulate a zoomed periscope view outside the canopy (the pilot couldn't press his eye on it). It would be somehow modeled wrong anyway.

The modeling of the ZFR was already begun, so if there eventually come up new references (I doubt it), I think, it would be a nice small addition.
Cool. Thanks for the responses, guys. As far as implementation goes, would it not be possible to use a variant of the telescope view in the Ki.43, for example, to supplement the reflector sight using either Shift+F1 or C? This is bordering on Luft '46, however, so I understand if DT members don't wish to spend time on it.

Cheers,
