Okay try this....

Here's an Apache driver's Helmet Mounted Sight (HMS). It projects the HUD and other stuff into one eye only.



And yet the Apache drivers have two eyes...binocular vision.

So what does the Apache pilot see when he's flying around?

Is it this....?



Or is it this.....?




And so with the Revi.

The Revi is installed on the 109 to project its reticle onto one eye only (the right one in our case).

And yet Luftwaffe pilots has two eyes....binocular vision.

So what would our Luftwaffe pilot have seen while flying around?

Something like this...?




Or this.....?

It's just not that big a deal if some want an easier aiming system. Think about it, Germany was and are brilliant at designing machinery. If the sight wasn't effective and easy to use why would they stick with it. Men did in fact modify their machines in the field. If the British sight as better why not use a captured sight or just move their own?

Just bind it to some joystick button instead of shift+f1= problem solved!
