Interesting. I think its the vertical canopy frame. But...does MACCHI have "gunsight view" like Luftwaffe cockpits? If so, we need to see the Luft View before making a judgement. Perhaps using Luft View, if available for MACCHI, moves the reticle more to the view center than the vertical canopy frame.

This is all fascinating stuff. As ElAurens poasted at ubi, the MiG-3's gunsight glass and (rather large) reticle is also interfered with by the cockpit model.

Unlike old timer Fw fans, I don't consider these "major" things, but small stuff in line with the reversed Yak compass, overly dark gunsight glass on Yak-9s, etc...small stuff like that, which should be adressed by modders if the Moscow Bureau does not have the time. You know how Central Committee directives change all the time and cause developers to develop ulcers.
