Gunsight reticle in CloD

If there's a bug, it needs to be fixed, sure.

Redroach I honestly don't know what is bothering you but it was not my intention to upset you or to cause trouble. I never posted anything about 'coolant leaks' either. My reply was not ment in an offensive way, I am simply interested in opinions of people who have RL experience with gyroscopic gunsights.

I am not crying at all, I am just curious. I see there is something I don't understand with my limited knowledge, I raised the issue and seen many people disagreed (there is no problem at all with that), but they were too busy to explain why (also no problem) and I'd simply like to know what they know.

People cry big time, 1C wants to please them and the rest has to sort it out, while those which went postal, are again spending their time on the forums, ranting about the german pilot model having a moustache which "is unusual for the timeframe" or something...

Feel free not to bother, I understand your point about the priorities. All you wrote was your opinion (I think... can be). which I appreciate, but with all due respect you didn't answer my question at all. I know there is lots of people here with experience and access to this kind of equipment and I'd like to hear what they think. I'll be glad to be proven wrong in my assumtion as long I learn something.

I agree, there is no question about it. I actually started the issue at 'low' priority myself. But I believe that's a genuine bug and it makes no sense at all so why not raise it?

As for the actual topic - none of the gunsights I've seen in RL did this kind of reflection as the reticle plate is enclosed deep inside of the gunsight body (that is for both ReVi and Mk.I gunsight) and unless there is strong source of light coming from the bottom, there is nothing to reflect. It seems very unrealistic and as I see some people agree.
