Is the gun sight in our beloved spit in wrong position?

I have one picture taken from screen short of the movie "Dunkirk" and one picture taken in cockpit of real spit. In both pics the nose of plane can be seen when sight is centre reflector.

 

In the game when sight is centred then nose not visible. Frankly i like the view where nose is slightly visible.

 

What are your thoughts on this.

I think this is mostly caused by the camera and its position close to the sight. A similar appearance can be obtained in Il-2 by moving your head forward.

It has been my perception that the default camera view in the vertical plane is always too low.  I feel like a kid trying to peek over the steering wheel.  One of the features of this sim that I really appreciate is the ability to easily move the default "eye point" of each individual plane.

I think what you are describing can easily be fixed by raising your pilots eye point.

Dunkirk "Spitfire" was actually a dressed up Yak-52

Yeah watching Dunkirk and inferring anything about the real Spit is ill-advised to say the least.
