Please add Aim and View reticles to the Big guns in direct mode

[Blagard]

With the latest patch, the Land and Sea modes are more friendly to use for big ship guns and shore battery (for mouse disabled users anyway!). However, aiming in direct mode could be helped by the provision of the yellow aim and black view reticles.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'aim and view reticles'.  Are you just talking crosshairs here, or are you looking for some actual RANGEFINDING for big guns?

I suspect you have not even looked in land and sea modes if at all!

Land and Sea Modes have two reticles, a small yellow one to aid aiming and a big crosshair one to help with ranging which is slaved to you view, not your aim. At the moment you do not get either in Direct mode, you just get a ring indicating the elevation of the barrel in a very approximate way(The ring is visible in all three modes so not an issue)

You are correct - I haven't done any big gun gunnery in land or sea mode since before the new reticles were added.   Those look mildly interesting.
