Gun director pipper

[maxTRX]

Is there a reason why a radar directed pipper is not in the center (same as gun cross is) in this situation:

 

I'm shooting off the engines on a cargo plane... as a test not a challenge    Even if the radar decided that target's center mass was too close, shouldn't the pipper snap to the center?

At that close of a range, use the boresight cross, or undesignate and use the funnel. Remember that the piper is calibrated to the TD box, which is more or less the center of mass.
