I had already made a post about this, but every time it happens to me it gets stranger.
As you can see in the video, I try to make the crosshair deviate, but in the game, when you go out from behind a wall or something even though you have absolutely nothing in front of you, many times the crosshair deviates from the circle where you want to aim.
What is even stranger is that even if the sight deviates from the circle, the ammunition goes where you aim and not where the sight is pointing. (It can be seen in the video in the second shot.)
And now while I was making the video to show you what I mean, another doubt came to me…
Why does the IS-2 reload faster in the practice section than in the game? ._.
Blue: gunner’s optic. This is your scope. What you’re looking through. It is offset from your cannon
Orange: this is your breech and barrel. This is where your round comes out of. The penetration indicator is tied to this
Penetration indicator: that annoying thing on your screen. It is tied to your barrel. NOT your gunner’s sight
If your gun sight is looking to the side of an object, but your barrel is looking dead at that object or stuffed in that object, you will shoot that object because your round is coming out of the barrel. Not your eyeball
Because the guide is straight down the barrel. Your eyeball is looking through the sight. The barrel is to the right of your sight. Your sight is looking at the enemy tank, but your barrel is looking at the post to the right. If your eyeball was looking straight down the barrel, you would be looking straight at the post. The guide is telling you that your barrel and your sight are not aligned on target, and thus your round does not hit where your eyeball is aiming
