The red line on top of the sight should be attached to the scope in the center, but when he swings the rifle to the right (in the vid at 1,11 min), the red line stays in its position and is hovering outside, or on the very edge of the scope, regardless of whether the rifle is centered or held normally. Thus the sight stays always in the same angle, as if you would look from the side on it.
And if you pay attention to the gap between the red line and the sight itself (while hes looking at the ocean) its seems as its hovering above it.
Uhhh confusing I hope you got it Okita
Hah, I think confused you and you just followed up by confusing me
Its also 520AM here now and I should get to bed.
Im not sure I really understood what you were saying but I THINK you are mistakenly thinking like some other users that the red line should be going straight down the sight in line with the barrel of the rifle. When in fact, as in the image posted on page 1, the red line starts closest to the butt of the rifle on the right side of the sight, and angles in towards the left side as it heads away from the player/soldier.
The floating look it has is because its encased in some sort of clear tubing. To be honest, I really dont know what that is exactly, but if you look at rea images of it, you can see this clear tubing that surrounds the red... I wont show my ignorance more though because I dont know what these parts are
Maybe the OP can post a higher res image of the two stages and point out more clearly what he means... because right now, all I can say is, the red line is not supposed to be straight with the barrel/sight and is correct as it is now. It is, as far as I know, all one model and therefore it is moving as one, fused, model in game
But ultimately, an xfire video doesnt seem to be getting the point across(if there is a point that is not covered by what Im saying here)
after some searching:
the tube on top of the ACOG scopes is a fiber optic rod. It is there for only one reason, to pick up light for daytime illumination of the reticle. The reticles are also tritium illuminated for low light and night use. If you cover the fiber optic rod in daytime use it will not light the reticle. The tritium is not bright enough for day light illumination either.
So i guess its just a tube of fiber optic wire to collect light for sight illumination... but as to why its not in a straight line? Maybe just because of design, not function... I really dont know. I still dont know if thats covering part of the "bug" some of you claim to see... Heh
Im off to bed...
