Gunsight View in 109E

[pupo162]

in my opinion loosen shoulder straps doesnt meen leaning to the gunsight. i may require loosen straps to pan around the cockpit better, look outside, check my six better etc.... this option should be re implemented and totally seperated from a center gunsight feature.

I find it VERY difficult aim at enemy fighthers using TrackIR.. - in fact it's almost impossible?

You guys are talking about a different view when aiming and using TrackIR? Shirt+F1 ?
What is the keyboard shortcut for loosen straps? ( = "gunsight view" ?)

Sorry if these are stupid questions - quite new to both trackIR and COD.

Hello,

If you have played the IL2 "classical" you know that in German planes de gunsight is for the right eye. Thus "shift + F1" trackir or not to center the gunsight.

I agree.

I doubt the Germans aimed with their noses pressed up against the gunsight in a hard dogfight. I don't like the zoom feature of 'shift+F1'.

The pilots were supposed to use their right eye for aiming, I think, just like most people fire rifles.

It's our virtual self being a cyclops which is messing things up for us again, making us have to fiddle with head positions. I think we'd be better off with at least the option to make our virtual 3D viewpoint that of the right eye of a RL pilot. We'd feel like we were sitting slightly offset in the cockpit, but the sight would work without worrying about head repositioning.

The 109 gun sight is very hard to use, I can't see it being as hard to use in real life. There's no way German pilots could have used such a clumsy aiming system with their boom and zoom tactics. It might look like its where it should be but just not this hard.

109 gunsight need some work. Something like IL2 sturmovik. It's really hard to AIM!
