Title: Sherman VC Firefly Gun Sight Question.
Post by: skorpx1 on May 02, 2014, 07:54:36 PM: So I was playing the game today and was only told from one person (nobody else could confirm or deny the point) that the Firefly gun sight we have in game is historically correct.

Did the Brits really have to be this ass-backwards with their gunsight for the Firefly?
(http://i949.photobucket.com/albums/ad333/Skorpx1/ahss6_zpsdcee82a3.png)

No markings other than the range markings, and when zoomed the bottom 3 rows of markings are cut off.

If someone could find a useful source to prove that the Brits actually did this then that'd be just dandy. I cant seem to find one yet.

EDIT: Just realized this is in the wrong section. Might have it moved to Planes/Vehicles.

Post a DXdiag. It is most likely your computer that just can't handle the graphics that are available.

Some versions of the ATI driver have this issue, it has to do with where the color source for the draw comes from under certain configurations.

I will be so glad to be done with this issue with the new engine.
