That's his head moving off the axis of the reflector sight. 

That's how TrackIr and VR work. 

And real life, for that matter.

I guess there are people who never shot a rifle with a scope and cross hairs.

People with soft hands.

This is my main hobby. Currently waiting for an ATACR to come in for the MRAD I got last year.

Ok thats fine, but mist of his opponents don’t, so that puts him above the average
what makes you think his opponents screen doesn't look exactly like his?

Its not technically cheating. But a gyrp sight combined with ladder removes the calculation from your head, which his opponents have to do. If your doi g those calculations in your head you don’t have as much ability to do other things at the same time. Contrary to popular beleif the brain handles thing at a time. Muscle memory helps fill that gap too.

Another advantage is he deals with zero nose bounce, where most do.

Not saying he’s not a disciplined flyer, but hr uses s lot of aids. Therefore I question why vids anf not films.

Aldo he us using some form if spotting system to kill one person over and over in a row, he’s getting help on that somehow. Notice he shys away from these subjects using irrekevent videos as deflection

You and every other player has access to everything Skyyr uses. The gunsight is default, the pitch ladder is in AH settings, and you can purchase TrackIR.

As for "spotting" other players, it's as simple as this:

System Message says Animl killed BTDiver.  I know from seeing you online that you are knight just as I know BTDiver is always rook.  I also know that you fly the P-51 almost exclusively.  So, using just that information, I know you are on the knight/rook front (which is probably one fight) in a P-51, just as I can assume BTDiver was flying a yak.  If you play the game enough, you pick up on players' tendencies, which is another reason I like switching up planes a lot.

I need to get back in practice.  RL hit the fan last couple of years and I hadn't kept up my currency.  It's a perishable skill.



I built a private range out at my land.

Then you can pull up the stats page and confirm whether or not he actually killed BTDiver in a P51 or another plane, letting you know exactly what plane he's in.

Wait till he finds out there's a geometric and velocity-based principle you can use to pinpoint a player even more accurately based on ground-speed climbout if they're shot down.

Yep.  and I got the Ruger Precision .22  which is like a mini-me version to do 80% of my practice with cheaper ammo.

Bang.  $2.00
Bang.  $2.00
Bang.  $2.00

Starts taking the fun out of it. ;)

I wasn't commenting on whether he was using a gyro gun sight or not, simply correcting you. Like Trips observed, it's a reflex sight so move your head left/right/up/down and the sight can disappear.
