Also, as humans have binocular vision I dont see any real benefit to having it directly in front of the right eye only.
In fact I can see it being a disadvantage to those whose left eye is stronger.

As the Germans shot bown more planes, obviously there must have been some advantage?
But back to real life most Luftwaffe gun sights are off set to the right, theory being it gave a better view when flying normally which accounted for 90% of most fighter missions anyway, the Me109, Fw190 He219 Me262 and Me163 are all off set to the right.
The other theory is the right eye theory which does not hold much water in MHO.
