Il-2 1943 front sight vanishing

[Charon]

Please fix the front sight post on the Il-2 model of 1943. It falls off as soon as the front of the plane takes damage. I've lost it in 4 of the last 4 sorties I've flown in it. Screenshots and track attached.

 

Other players have encountered this too:

 

 

If there is other data I can gather to help reproduce this, let me know. It's incredibly annoying, as someone who loves flying the Sturmovik. There's hardly any point in flying the 1943 model if I'm just going to lose my sights as soon as I enter combat.
