well, its minor suggestions but anyway
i got some field manuals of russian vehicles and there were some pictures of sights
BMP-3 commander sights
its correct, but mirrored
BMP-3 gunner sights
thats an ingame picture
it looks like
night sight TPN3-49
BMP-3 uses 1K13(-1, -2) or something new on modernized versions, but i cant find picture of it
1K13-2
T-72A gunner sights
BTR-80 gunner sights
i know ingame BTR-60, but i'm sure they are same and BTR-80 is on agenda
T-80 gunner sights, 1G42

BTW Alex and any one else who might be interested in making reticles, when making future Reticles and HUD images etc can you please try and either model them or split them into lots of little HUD images since from now on its PR's policy to try and make all our future asset (and possible fix up some of our old) with proper reticles that are not just one big texture, which most of ours currently are. I know for some points this will require you to get a modeller in but ye, if need be its worth it
What I posted in the dev forums the other day.
'[R-DEV wrote:Rhino;1049882']Right done a quick example of a modelled reticle on what Nosferatu posted above:
http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/998/tpku.jpg
Now before I show you this I've only done a really quick and basic texture for this it would need a good texture artist to make a good texture as I'm not the best when it comes to texture creation
So the bit at the bottom looks **** and blurry since I just took it off the ref, blew it up and shoved it onto my texture
Anyways here is what I've got:
and here's its 256x128 texture (which is only 96kbs):
and the model itself which is only 212tris:
which is far better performance wise than this 512x512 texture that is quite similar that is 256kbs:
So ye providing you got a good skinner to do the texture for the modelled one I believe it would look just as good and be much easier on the memory and will have a big increase in performance (more than most people would think) if done all the way across the line of all our radices etc in PR (at least for new vehicles if not the old).
Just to show you a quick example of how a good texture can make the bottom bit look better I just took that bottom bit of the other 512x512 texture I posted above and slapped it on this texture.
So ye all in all, you can have the texture flexibility and the performance increase with combining the best of modelled and texture radices

bumpage, came across this
T-90 gunner sight
T-90 HMG sight(the one ontop of vehicle)
BTR-80 sight, its different from the one i posted above, but it seems this one is separate for engaging aerial targets

For BTR, and no, i have no idea why manual reference and actual reticle are different

Manual's probably older than the reticle.

Great pics dude. I think we should remove that you can see the guns barrel for tanks like the T-90 cuz I cant see the barrel in the pic that Danke posted.

what would be good is small input on topic
is needed or not? or you're already aware of all this stuff and whole my research is useless thing?

Don´t worry danke, I am saving all the pics.
The BTR manual pic is a specific sight then, what would it be used on if not btr?

Its useful mate but at the moment a single problem of having a rangefinding recticle mirrored isn't really that much of a problem.
Well not that much when there are things like firebases that are 10m tall and so forth. Your research didn't go to vain however as they are some good finds
