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

historical accuracy? HA! From where do you get your "historical accuracy"?

Unfortunately I cant ask this former pilot anymore because he is dead for 6 years now but he would tell you the same and by the way, I am not whining! I just state something concerning that "highly accurate" flightsim!

(but dont get me wrong, apart from certain "bugs" its a great new sim and I like it they only should have ironed out the many bugs before releasing the game)

If they change the position of the gunsight of german aircraft I will snap my CD in half.

Go fly another plane or play another game if you don't like this one.

I love the viewtype in CoD. It doesn`t feel any different from that of IL2 though the headshake makes deflection shooting something exceptional. I don`t have a problem with that. Instead of whining I just keep training, right now the thing I need is good stick settings to find that smooth lead for deflection shots.

I just hope I can change the vertical convergence of the guns - default is something I would never use.

I use a mouse on left side for my situational awareness for many years now. In COD it takes less than a second to get to line up your sight. It might feel longer to some because at the moment they need to think what to press and what to move. As many of you have said already, once you do it a few hundred times, it becomes a reflex and it WILL get faster.
I also have trackIR, you can do the same thing. Get your profile right for you, look up the pertaining keys and set them to get in and out on a cue (e.g your bandit just went left). I am much slower with the Track IR but much faster than a week ago.
It can be done, gentlemen and it is gratifying.
After all, why shouldn't the pilot that put the effort have an advantage?

oh for crying out loud. its not that freakin hard to aim in a 109.

i have track ir3 and with a little tweaking to my profile it works just fine with the me109 gunsight.

good grief, next thing you know people will be asking to get rid of the bouncy gauges and the spits neg g cut out .

A lot of people(with trackIR) in this thread have given this type of reaction. You're basically saying that people without trackIR can get bent. If the current system is working for because you're using trackIR that's fine but don't come here and post about a feature you're not even using.

When you use the loosen straps function now your FOV changes which is bad because you lose situational awareness. Just remove the zoom and it's fine.

And yes I know that i can easily do this with the mouse but it's pain having to reposition my view using the mouse and it can't be done quickly.

PURE BULLSHIT

If you dont have track ir get free track, if you don't like free track use your mouse.

Seriously are you guys seriously telling me your too s***** to work your damned mouse, I will post a video if you want me too.



Simply hold down the middle mouse and right mouse button and this allows you to move your position along the Y plane and therefore position your head your head directly behind the gunsight..............................SIMPLE

I took me 2 seconds....

EXACTLY you hit the nail on the head, the head shaking has made life harder FOR EVERYONE.

I have track IR and the head shaking has made it harder/realistic to aim.

[RCAF_FB_Orville]

It's fine the way it is, and 'realistic' whether you like it or not. The Luftwafflers are always the most vociferous of complainants in sims though, even their Central Powers equivalents (who I pretty much know are by and large the exact same people lol) are now getting captured Aldis and Reflector sights in Rise of Flight. LOL! (Actually I don't care and I'm all for the field mod idea, but they do have a way of getting what they want. This time, the parties over!)

Neeeiiiiinnn, verdammt! I can't get the hang of it, its not fair! Suck it down, Kameraden. No one said it was going to be easy.

Hehehe.

Hihihi, mh, what was it again with the bouncing needles and the cut out thing? ROFL

[JG4_Helofly]

I am using Track ir, so no problem with the gunsight. I set the neutral position slightly to the right and voilà! gunsight centered, problem solved.
But for people without track ir, it would be good to have an off center default view, because using shift+F1 is very annoying.

Just don't put the revi in the center! Cod is supposed to be a simulation and not an arcade air combat game!
