Meh..

-1 on this.

In real life you look PAST little light reflections. You focus on details past them. Like watching TV with a window partially glaring on the screen, or driving with a bit of sun in your eyes. You compensate for it mentally and keep going.

In a computer game, IMO, it's frivolous and useless.

so true, kindda like wearing glasses and there's a scratch in one of the lenses, after a few minutes u wont pay attention to it.  ur welcome to add you own scratches to your monitor as a test, use a marker put a couple of lines and see how long it takes before you forget they're there.

Never liked this in IL2.
I still maintain this game was more realistic when icons didn't disappear behind canopy supports. So lets not make it harder to see out.
