Sliding bar on Russian gunsight?

[SCG_Limboski]

I noticed on the IL-2 1941/1942 "operation features" notes it says the following:

 

 "The gunsight is installed on a sliding bar which allows the pilot to extend the gunsight towards the pilot allowing for an increase in the field of view through the gunsight."

 

This is NOT actually implemented in-game, right?

It is!

 

Can't remember the binding offhand, but it's the same one used to fold down the sight in the g-14/k4/262

What's the keybind name exactly and where is located?  I tried working through all of them in the weapons keybind section and could not find anything like that.

Hello SCG_Limbo,

 

see keybindings: Weapons controls -> Gunsight Position Toggle (Default: RAlt + F)

 

Tally Ho!

Thanks...I was spacing and hit LAlt + F instead!

I wonder if this is on other russian planes the sights look really similar.

Btw since I got trackir my god Russian sites are ugly to me. Something is appealing to me abt the German "solid block" versus the pedestal legs.
