That might be what's causing the line to dissapear. I know the M21 is alright since I've used it not very long ago, but I can't say the same for the M40.

You have to enable your AA to see the horizontal lines.

With M21 only those little notches keep disappearing. But not seeing the horizontal line at all on the M40 really affects your aim.

ok this is how the M21 looks, 50% of the time vertical line is missing depending on which direction you aim.

You need to have anti-aliasing on in the game's video settings.

The lines are so thin that they don't render sometimes. Anti aliasing forces them to render completely.

Wouldn't this easily be fixed by pulling the sight a tad closer? Don't like keeping AA on, I'm already dipping to sub-30FPS in fallujah.

Could simply be fixable by making the line just a tiny bit thicker.

the lines are thinner than one pixel, thats why theyre not rendered without AA.
Otherwise, making them one pixel thin wouldnt look that good with AA anymore. But because many players arent using AA the lines should be thicker.

why dont you talk. for most of the community its the only reason for playing. COMMUNICATION!

on topic. is it possible to make the lines thicker if you use no AA and the same as now if you use AA?

Why should I invest when I can solve the problem with 2 mouse clicks.

I get even less FPS on Fallujah and still have AA on.
