Removing IC on Gunsight mods or improving existing Gunsights

[141-Emperor]

Hello,

I would like to advocate for the unblocking of gunsight mods via IC, scince the stock DCS gunsights on many planes like the Revi16 on Luftwaffe aircraft, just dont feel like an actual Revi sight. The holographic sights feel blocky and unrealistic when compared to irl gunsights. 
For example here is how the Revi16 looks like irl:

Compared to the Revi16 in DCS:


This is not only an issue on Lufwaffe Revi sights, but also on allied aircraft (as seen in the following video):

Even for modern aircraft like the Mi24 Hind, the gunsight does not look like irl:

Some more examples of gunsights irl from various aircraft in ww2:




There is various mods for all these gunsights that "fix" this feeling of them being off:

The mods and posts above are some of the examples, of how these gunsights could be fixed. So I ask ED to please remove gunsight mods from the IC or maybe even improve their stock gunsights to make them feel more real.

Can confirm, for instance the Hind gunsight looks almost 'digital' by it's perfect lines.

Thank you for summarizing the current status quo. Great job! 

As long as there are no known cheats that evil minded users could employ to take advantage of gunsight mods being excluded from IC I am all for trying this!

+1 more effort required to make sights look plausible .

+1 for this. Being able to clean up the ladder pattern or having just the USAAF ring pattern on the mkviii is night and day in the 47
