Better accuracy?
That is a result of two things, Talon.
1st, when moving the view position around in the Film Viewer, the gunsight pip moves around on the actual gunsight.
2nd, I make a lot of my shots in a 'head positon up' view, as I have a button to move my 'head position' up on the hat of my stick.
This allows for a greater field of vision when pulling lead shots over the cowling (particularly important with the 30mm cannon, as you need to lead so much).
To be honest, I rarely fire with my gunsight completely centered in the actual sight. I always slide the head pos up enough so that only the lower half of the gunsight pip is visible on the gunsight. That way I can use the bottom half for ranging long-distance shots and just guess with the upper half.
