any one care for this except vanmudru?
I don't know. If moving the pin (or whatever) makes it harder to aim (it might, now that the sight is farther away than with the 2d sights), I don't know if should be done. It's kinda like the concession on the Garand Peep hole sight. The hole in the Garand's sight is larger than in real life, because otherwise it would be too small to see through and would be difficult to aim. If something similar happens here, I think we might be able to live with the small discrepancy in favor of gameplay. Making the post flush with the rear sight might make it unclear exactly where you needed to be aiming the gun, especially with the hood. Right now, you are pretty much trying to center the enemy in the middle of the hood. If the post is flush with the rear sight, are you still trying to put the enemy in the center of the hood, or are you trying to line them up with the post, making the hood pretty much useless?
I guess it would have to be tested, right? Maybe even giving us a quick peek at what the "Fixed" version looks like as you aim down the sight, to compare how organic it feels to aim with either version. I don't know...
