In an actual WW2 fighter cockpit, the gunsight is physically very close to the pilot's head -- just as the "zoomed in" 30 POV depicts it!

What we really need is a curved movie theatre-sized monitor about 4 feet in front of us. Then 30 POV would be fine in ALL respects. LOL

(Actually, some guys on this forum come close using 3 monitors with the video card(s) that can handle it.

I don't have a curved theater sized monitor. But, I do have a 42" monitor which is about 4 feet in front of me. I like it a lot.

A real pilot probably did lean forward, but the result wasn't like looking through a telescope.
