Thanks for the correction.

The fact that the collimator tube doesn't give you any actual magnification makes it even more useless, IMO, unless you're dive bombing.

Your suggestion about changing the magnification and the view through the collimator sight would make it more realistic, and also somewhat more useful since you don't lose SA when you go to gunsight view.

Until then, I'll just use iron sights or "Kentucky windage" and make sure I get so close I can count the rivets on the enemy plane before I open fire.
