Pak36 gunsight requires audit

[Merlin51]

It has been mentioned but no one put it in the reports forum.

The pak36 sight has some major alignment issues

at 100m you have to use the 800m mark on the sight or the round shoots severely short.
the sight also shoots a considerable distance to the right at 100m.
Gun tube needs to come way up and also move to the left like 3 or 4 degrees?

Visually the range indicator appears to sit too low in the sight picture, not centered 

Magnification appears to be off, at 100m objects appear as if they are 10 feet away, which also causes the FOV to be so small one has trouble even
locating the target in the sight.

These issues will cause the gun to underperform  baddly and handicap it beyond its normal limitations

This is at 100m white DOT is impact point with gun aimed as indicated on the 800m line

isnt this because the gun is by default aligned on 200m?

With the 2 pounder this is the same i believe?

Should not be that far off though, at 200m it's just as bad, you cant use the range indicator at all with any expectation of the markings
This is at 210m, had to aim at 400m, and it's still hitting to the right. with dispersion you have to aim at 400m to 600m to hit at 200m.
This isnt a 1200m gun VS armor, it needs accurate aiming at 100m to 600m or it wont be effective.
It didnt used to be like this

Good to take this up in the gun review.
