Leopard 2A6 backup sight is misaligned

All tanks of the Leopard 2 series in DCS are using the same backup sight (ctrl + F). The A6 version got a new gun which increased muzzle velocity, which is also considered in DCS. However, as a result, the bullets have a different trajectory. Using the same secondary sight as for the A5 causes the bullets to end up longer than manually set.

Tracks are attached for AP and HE ammo. The effect can be seen better for HE, but it is also noticeable for AP.

I did the following:

I placed two cones at 3500m and 4000m, which are the maximum ranges you can set on the secondary sights for the 2 ammo types. Then I set the ranges manually and shot a few rounds with the A5 and the A6. The rounds of the A5 impact more or less at the correct range near the cones with some minor random dispersion. The rounds of the A6 are always impacting further behind. The HE rounds almost impact near the second cone even though I aimed close to the first one.
