The tiger manual, eg, states that you have to aim 1/2 meter to the left with the main gun and one meter to the right with the coax MG, because the optic is just between them.
http://de.scribd.com/doc/29619521/Tigerfibel-German-Tiger-Tank-Manual - page 76

From your screenshot you clearly see that the optics are to the left of the gun, so the same principle applies there.

So that´s not a bug :)

thanks for reply.

if your word is right, all other tanks reticle is wrong(does not include jagdpanzerIV, m26_pershing).
I checked all vehicles reticle.

jagdpanzeriv,  jagdpanzeriv_win, m26_pershing reticle is not in center too.

thanks. and sorry for my poor english.

Not necessarily wrong, it just depends on where the sights are sitting. Some are closer to the barrel some not.

Unfortunately a bug that was reported and I managed to overlook in the heat of RC testing.
The sights should be center, which they're not. The cannon should be a 50cm or so off center.
Unfortunately, the deacon will be removed in the next server patch. It'll be added back next client patch.

So we need to wait a year to use this epic vehicle again...  >:(
