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

Na, also so weit rechts ist das Revi nicht, was du offensichtlich nicht verstehen willst, denn in der Tat ist die linke Kante genau in der Mitte des Cockpits. Es ist also anzunehmen, dass das rechte Auge genau durchs Revi schaut. Punkt.

And now back to English

Und genau darin besteht dein Fehler: In der Annahme das rechte Auge würde quasi "perfekt" durch das revi schauen, also den vollen Kreis sehen. Das ist NICHT der Fall. Das habe ich selber erfahren.

I would just like to post in disbelief that this thread has grown to 27 pages. Paradoxically I only add to this silliness by posting at all.

A long and good discussion on reflector sights:

http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?t=17850

The basic principle of the reflector sight is as follows:

In the base of an upright tubular housing there is a light source. This is directed through an opaque glass plate on which is etched an aiming mark, or graticule. The image of the graticule is projected through the focal plane of a collimated lens, and reflected onto a glass screen mounted 45 degrees to the gunner's eye. This presents an aiming mark, usually a ring with a central dot on the reflector screen, giving the gunner a clear view of the target with the graticule pattern superimposed on it.
