S! Everyone.
So I'm downloading all the sights again now that I'm back and I cant seem to find the ostwind sight I used to use. It consists of a few horizontal bars, marking distances, 1k, 1.5k, etc. If anyone could provide a link to where I could DL this one again that would be great. Thanks in advance!

Yes. It's no tank gunsight, but a reflector gunsight just like in a fighter.

It's best not to use the sight at all. Just use your page up key and page all the way up and set your head position. This way you can have a unobstructed view of the sky. Just follow the tracers, they will tell you where your aiming and then make adjustments to your aiming accordingly.

Better yet, before moving your head position place your cursor right under the dot in the sight.

I use the default view and sight.   I'm very confident in my Ostie skillz and have no problems.    

I don't use tracers and it's all in the lead.

If you shut off tracers everyone but you can see them.  Unless they changed it.

I saw a couple of (probably LTAR posts) where y'all were talking about how you page up & save head position & use the tracer line to determine where to shoot.

I tried that, but can't determine 'where' in the tracer line the hits register.  

The big thing I saw as an advantage was the visibility when you look around, because the panels aren't blocking your side/rear views.  That was a big plus.  

But was the increased visibility worth the not being able to hit anything? Nah.

How do you not use tracers?  Didnt they change it to where tracers in vehicles don't turn off? I tried several times unsucessfulllllly several times before stopping the attempts.

Grab them from my link in my signature and you'll double that selection of Rangers.  Him and I have been collecting those for a while... think he needs to update his site with it... :D
