Su-27/ J-11’s HMS is red (should be green)

,

In game, the su-27/ J-11(a) helmet mounted sight is red… I’m not 100% sure, but isn’t it suppose to be green (like the rest of the aircraft hud)? I know it’s minor, but it’d be nice to see this fixed.

I think this might be a bug or it’s incorrectly modelled? If it is, I doubt gaijin will fix it but I thought I’d post just in case.

P.s I am getting my knowledge of the Su-27 HMS from DCS, so if I am wrong please let me know.

How can you say it should be fixed (implying its wrong) if youre not sure?

there is your issue
funnily the full fidelity Mig-29 in dcs which uses the same HMS as the Su-27 is an reddish orange, just like it now is in WT

Ah okay, so it’s red IRL too? I wouldn’t have though dcs is less realistic than war thunder, but here we are.

Alright calm down, I’m just simply not sure as my source is from another video game (dcs), making it not very reliable. I posted this to see if anyone could validate.

the HMS was never even close to reality with the green circle following an aircraft

WT was closer to the real thing, even before they reworked it

DCS is not as realistic as ppl cliam it to be

Gets asked question

Calm down

Buddy, strange reaction for someone making post on forum to discuss stuff but allright

Geez, you went all out. Thanks so much for the info!

I mean I was asking about the su-27 HMS, and if my ASSUMPTION was correct, but you just questioned the formatting of my question rather than giving any insightful information.

Look, I apologise for the harshness but I just wanted to know whether or not the HMS was correct and the first response I got had nothing to do with that. Thank you for responding anyway.
