Well in the main video it has the glass square for the reticule and there is not crosshairs off to the side but the reticule is not in the glass square.
I believe this is the spitfire. What are we supposed to aim with?

First pic is the Hurricane and there is no reticule because it's taken from a replay vid and the second cockpit is the Il-2.

But why would the the reticule not be there in the replay?

I think that one picture has been taken in arcade mode and the other one in higher level of realism. Maybe the pic without reticule does have some kind of auto aiming.

But I am just speculating.

The reason is, that first screenshot was taking from cockpit of damaged plane.
Something (bullet?) has damaged light source, and reticule disappeared.
However, it was one of the first trailers. Now, we've changed damage model, and it is impossible to destroy only reticule (because, yeah, it really looks buggy, not realistic).

Anton can you shed some light on what the red and white icon in the bottom left hand corner of the secon pic is?
And the number 4?
