Reflector gunsights - the coolest practical thing ever

[BigC208]

Oleg or Luthier told us years ago we were going to get a fully working and adjustable reflector sight. I wonder though if the bulbs can burn out and can be replaced by clicking on the spares. This sim is going to give us a much better insight on the workload of an actual WWII combat pilot. Looked at the detail of the Blenheim bombsight in a video, unbelievable. Another thing I noticed was the pilot of a huricane moving sideways as the plane yawed from left to right. Same with 110 gunner and Blenheim bombardier.

Bouncing someone at full real online, who's in cruise mode to safe fuel, will be a lot more realistic. No more manhandling the engine or you'll walking or swimming home. Getting someone out of the sun is also going to be more realistic. One of the vids showed a spit pilot looking over his shoulder. You could see the radio setup and the inside fuselage construction. Oleg's a bloody genius, no other discription will do. If it takes 6 months of paid beta testing to get the rough edges smooth so be it.

As it is, after 10 years with Il2, I still notice new things. With this sim it's going to be another 10 years before you've seen everything they put in. They basically made a study sim with 6 or 7 aircraft. Insane. One of the Russian guys said that deselecting realistic engine management increased his FPS significantly. A sign for me that there is a lot going on under the cowl. Those that still insist that CoD is a dolled up version of the old IL2 engine have a serious screw loose.
