S!

All I can say Mr.X that great shooting. Deflection is spot on and hitting at convergence at most times. Also noted that controls are nicely tweaked as no stalls etc.

...and all that without TrackIR!

Great video! Also, very impressed with the quality of the video using the 5D2 - no flickering! Do you recall what shutter speed you used?

This video show perfectly everything that is wrong with the CLoD 109 gunsight. Notice the need to zoom in with straps off (or whatever) in order to use it. Zoom in, zoom out, zoom in, zoom out, zoom in, zoom out. I think if you ever dogfight against a competent human spitfire in flat/rolling scissors in close proximity, he will eat you for lunch Mr. X. because he will have trackir/freetrack and no need to waste time zooming in and zooming out. While you are spending time zooming in and zooming out and trying to find him from you lost peripheral vision, he will already have you because he doesn't have to do that zoom in/zoom out like you do.

This imaginary gunsight "problem" wouldn't be there if Mr.X had freetrack/trackir!

Mr X's video clearly shows how great he is in the ME 109 - really jealous that I can't fly and shoot (the main thing I need to improve in) like that - also provides a good lesson to all ME 109 pilots!

You are correct. There is a workaround for this issue if one has freetrack/trackir. But not all pilots (like Mr. X) have those or maybe they don't want to use them for whatever reason. They instead prefer the hat switch,keyboard or whatever.

So why not put everyone on equal footing in the game? The old IL-2 way worked fine, no matter if you have head tracking or not. You could have a gun sight cross hair and wide view and use a hat switch for views. But not in CLoD because of "realism". I really have to wonder how real it is. It is not good for game play where some will have the advantage from a head tracking work around and others don't imo. Zoom in, zoom out, zoom in, zoom out, maybe you get a headache after a while of doing that.
