Gunsight ranging is incorrect

Recommended Posts

The ring size does not match the target wingspan at the distance read from the scale. This results in inaccurate gunsight ranging.

Su-27 has a wingspan of 14.7m, distance is set to 300 meters on the scale, yet when label says 300m the aircraft does not fit the circle.

Good catch. ED manual and IRL say that minimum range is 180m. However, the in game range meter goes down to 100m, and the gunsight is caged when it seems to be lower then 150m or so. 
 

I wonder if you subtracted 80m and put sight at 220m or so if the Su-27 would fit in such a scenario

Not quite, the error is bigger than that. More like whoever coded it, thought the diamond ring should form inside the aircraft silhouette, rather than outside.

The bug also means that the gunsight is very inaccurate if you try to use it by the book. Dialing the real target distance read from the aircraft labels gives better result, but obviously that's a cheat.
