Target not visible in gun sight.

I had a problem tonight when using an 88. I was being fired at by an ET. With my commander I spotted where the shots were coming from. I saw the exact location. I spun my gun around and aimed at the same location but the ET wasn't there. He was firing and I could hear the rounds hitting around me, but no visual through the gunners sight. When I switched back to the commander I could see him. I had my gun lined up perfectly on where I saw the taraget with the commander but for some reason it wasn't rendering through my gun sight.

OK that's strange. I haven't seen that before. Can you range the target next time you see it? If you see it.

I'll try and replicate it.

Was he perhaps blocked by an object from the view through the gunsight, but not from the commander view?

What range was he at? At some ranges, the "billboarding" of objects can cause things to be difficult to see, especially when they are behind other billboarded objects. This can also be a problem because of the way that zooming in seems to work. For example, stand just over 500m from a treeline, look at it, then look at it zoomed in.
