BF109 - Can't we just have the gunsight in the middle?

In real-life the 109 pilot sits looking straight ahead through the windscreen....both eyes open.

The offset Revi is installed this way to project its image into one eye only. The right eye.

The right eye receives a fully formed reticle image (just as the Apache driver gets a fully formed HUD image in his right eye).

The left eye receives no reticle image whatsoever.

The brain combines both eyes viewpoints into one.

Therefore the real life 109 pilot would see a full reticle in front him while sat straight ahead with both eyes open....approximately like the (rough) picture i've been posting.....




No.

But the majority of people are right eye dominant, thus the offset of the Revi to the right.

Lixma is RIGHT. End of story. This how it would look (and probably should be the normal view in the game). I have done 30 years of shotgun shooting, and ALWAYS shoot both eyes open. I have also done 30 years of hunting with rifles with telescopic sights, but I shoot rifles with both eyes open. I have never closed the left eye to shoot with sights of any kind, open, telescopic, or red dot, or laser. Yes I am right eye dominant, and right handed.
