German gunsights and shift+f1

In the 190 you have like no FoV when you get done with its fat cockpit bars and the zoomed FoV, same for the 262.

Because with the gun-sight centered the view is actually wrong for formation flying and landings.

The game defaults to how you would be when normally flying not shooting.
