We need historical recticles pls snail

I really enjoy this game, I always take breaks on and off but for the most part it’s fun, but somewhere it falls short of is historical accuracy. I for one am a huge sucker for historical details and features. I understand this game has to sacrifice historical things for the sake of gameplay, which is good imo. But a huge thing that really makes a tank/military game feel realistic for me at least are realistic scopes and idk why really. So I wonder if people feel the same as me. I think that there should be a toggle able option for historic gun sights on vehicles, specifically the reticles. I understand that many people might say that certain vehicles may have better scopes and zooms than others, but first off, that’s already partly modeled in the game, and that should also be a part of the game to begin with, to truly represent vehicle capabilities. If this can’t be done, the badly implemented sight editor should be updated. It’s buggy, with presets not saving, being annoying to use and navigate, and is also limited in terms of recticles. I feel like this game lacks realism for ground spicificly, many aircraft get entire original cockpits, but tanks don’t get sights.which is a shame. So please snail, I love the game but this would greatly improve it. Also I apologize if this was a mess to read, English is not my first language and I suck at sentence structure :)

While it’s not the same, you can try searching Warthunder Live and download custom sights for your tanks.

Here’s Gaijin’s offiical video introducing the system.

Here’s a written tutorial by Gaijin explaining how to use them.

I agree with you, but we also need proper bomber cockpits. Also, your English is better than some native speakers. It’s great/

I’m unfortunately a console player, and as I stated in the text, the costom sights are limited and buggy
