How to ass custom sights in WT?

I watched https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOq2dyTy6j0&t=162s on how to install custom sights, but “Use alternative grid sight” is not visible in my war thunder. So I need some advice

This was changed in this update (about 6 months ago):

Now you can customize your sight directly in war thunder like this:

There might still be a way to change to user designed sights downloaded from war thunder live but i know players have been having some issues with this.

Install the sights as per normal into “User sights” as previously described, but to use them do this:
Open options/ ground battle settings


Select sight settings at the top of the menu

Create a custom sight and select the one you downloaded from the “reticule” menu

That should sort it out for you, but if you have any issues or questions let me know and I’ll try to help best I can!
