The overly thick appearance of 109 windshield frames has been discussed and proved previously e.g. on this thread's page 2
The game does not take into consideration the thickness of the armored glass and its refraction, which in real life gives a more generous view. When comparing the same problem with P-51s, it does not exist. The P-51s have transparent see-through frames from inside 
.
The same fake approach could be used for 109s as well if HTC wanted to change it.
The refraction issue was later argued in this thread on pages 2, 3 and 4
Yep.. I think you have it right with those pictures.. That's kind of the same thing I saw when looking online at real pictures. I got frustrated at the lack of view we have in 109's, so I decided to look around to see if it was really that bad. Granted it seems to have been a bad view, but I think it's a tad bit worse than it should be.
I have a hell of a time lining up deflection shots in 109's which are normally my bread and butter in just about any other aircraft. As a side note some complained about the Ki84's lack of view.. Personally I never had an issue with the Ki84's and I used to fly them a lot.
