The only reference I can find to the use of the telescopic sight is this reference from page 294 in Martin Pegg's book on the Hs 129:

When the cannon was fired, the muzzle blast and recoil caused a momentary loss of speed in the order of 10kph, but the few Hs 129 B-3s which were used in combat generally created a very favorable impression with the pilots who flew them. However, one criticism made by Franz Oswald, who flew a machine delivered to 13.(Pz)/SG 9, was that the ZFR 3 B telescopic gunsight made target acquisition difficult.

Why do we need Sow Bob? Not that I wont buy it, I will but I'll always come back to IL2. It is a real pleasure to see what you guys are doing.

Thx !

Oh yes, PLEASE!

But without score penalty...

€dit: I love those AB23! Will they be available for other planes, too?

There are cool things that Storm of War will be able to do, things that Oleg has already showed us or talked about, that IL-2 simply can't. You probably know that but others may ask too That said Team Daidalos is doing a stunning job with keeping us busy and adding some great new content in the meantime.

Your 129 is really beautiful. Great job!

Indeed.

I know some of you will get all upset when I say it, but frankly, SOW is going to make IL2 look horribly dated (it is you know), and it will have all of (or most of ) the uber realism features that you all clamour for that cannot be added on to IL2's dated engine. It's been an amazing run, no game has ever been on my machines as long as IL2 has, but the end is near.

The King is dead, long live the King...

It'd be nice to have some more of these options. Soviet service Tomahawks and Kittyhawks often had the wing guns removed.

If there were as widespread field-modifications of Mig-3s to use the AM-38 as some people think than it is quite likely there were some which had the full air-to-ground armament (unlike our version in Il-2).

Half of the few B-3 version, that saw action (~40 total) were refit B-2's, carrying their old ReVi, for the other half real B-3 there is not one reliable photograph, that shows any periscope sight (ZFR-3A)... in fact we found no photograph of a B-3, just manual drawings.

So the knwoledge situation about the use of the periscope sight is very unsure (we welcome any further reference, if you have) and because we are not able to 100% correctly simulate the look of a zoomed reticle outside the canopy (the pilot probably wasn't able to press his eye on the lense), we decided to skip this for now and stick with the ReVi12C, simulating only converted B-2's.

I was thinking about the tube sights in general. I've always avoided using them because I've felt that it is unrealistic to be able to keep the eye lined up properly while pulling Gs.

Here is a suggestion for TD:
- Why not increase the sensitivity to blacking out for pilots using the telescopic sight? The blackout effect would simulate the eye moving out of alignment (as often happens with binoculars) and would be tied to manoeuvering. If the pilot wanted to pull tight turns they could switch out of gunsight view.

Ideally, there would be some dirt on the lense as well as distortion and vibrations. Unfortunately, there is limited time. However, there should also be at least some limitation on how these sights are used.

Ещё раз привет.
Очень порадовал Hs.
У меня назрел такой вопрос:
Расширите ли вы список подразделений в меню - Полк ?
Говорю про Люфтваффе. У них было огромное количество разных подразделений. В каждой группе три штаффеля. А в игре можно выбрать только группу. Можно ли сделать что бы при выборе группы взять и штаффель находившийся в данной группе?
Например взять I/JG52 и выбрать первый штаффель 1.JG52 ? Это не одно и тоже.
И пожелание - очень хотелось бы увидеть разнообразные опозновательные знаки. Различные стрелки : адьютанта, механика, и тому подобное.

Google translate:
Hello again.
Very pleased Hs.
I've matured a question:
Expand Have you a list of divisions in the menu - Polk?
Speaking of the Luftwaffe. They had a huge number of different units. In each group, three shtaffelya. And in a game you can only select group. Can I do that would be the choice of taking and shtaffel was in this group?
For example take I/JG52 and choose the first shtaffel 1.JG52? This is not the same thing.
And wishes - very much like to see a variety of opoznovatelnye signs. Different arrows: aide, mechanics, and so forth.
