An Option of Using the Old 2DoF for Gunsight View

Im my opinion it is not a matter of gunsight. In such istances my suggestion is to put your line of fire on the flight path of the enemy. You have to stick the view on your enemy and guess the aiming point and the right moment to shoot but with some training you can get an fairly good percentage of hits.

In that particular instance it would probably be easier if the real gunsight piper were being used instead of the Russian one (in error). The Russian one barely fits anyways but it's not the right setup.

Still the key point where the center point of the gunsight is set to infinity so that it's always on target no matter your perspective works. That's the key thing... using keys is hard but that whole system is really meant for a 6DoF implement like TrackIR or using some sort of hat setup on a joystick to simulate.
