New patch Revi gun sight vs old

The actual reticule size is fixed and as you move closer to the sight the reticule "appears" to get smaller. This is how aiming was actual done, the pilot would lean forward to aim, in some cases (Bf-109 pilots) they would rest their face against the sight when aiming, hence the padding on the sight.

And obviously they hence could not lean to the right side even if they had to (their nose would have been in their way) - which they did not. This again shows clearly why we need binocular view for revi sights (particularly for those gunsights that are off centre) and not monocular as we have now.

This is how it should look like. The explanation is a bit misleading. Actually as the right eye fully gets the image of the whole circle (when looking with the right eye throught the sight) the brain just superimposes the image seen by the right eye to that seen by the left side. So even if only the right eye looks through the gunsight the pilot still would see the whole circle and not half of what we have now. (it's not that suddenly by looking with one eye only through the gunsight the left side of the right eye would have gone blind ...)
