M4A3(76)W Gun sight Elevation Glitch?
« on: May 29, 2010, 10:47:45 AM »
While crewing the subject tank in the gunsight (view 2)  I elevated the gun to maxium and during the last few degrees of elevation, a grey area appears at the bottom of the sight.  Is this just me or can someone confirm this?  If it's just my view, what possibly can be happening?  I'll post a DX Diag once I figure out how.  I'd also post screenshots of the discrepancy but I can't figure out how to do that either.... :old:

It isn't just you.

Just did it offline and I too have that same bar.

I saw this just a minute ago while I was shooting planes in my Sherman.  :D After playing with it, it appears that "bar" is part of the inside turret detail and the sight is clipping through it.
