CuMelter W-W Super 220 Swift Member Registered: 02/14/12 Posts: 177 Loc: Twin States, USA	Ever since I purchased this IL-1946, I've noticed that some of the pits' gunsights are missing the left side. Why is this and what can I do about it..?? Its not the worst scenerio, but I'd like a full sight, esp. since guns are our main weapon.

And when I jump into the zero, and see the ironsight swing to the left, I'm thinking 'well, why is that?' Appreciate the heads-up Splash-

The Zero's iron sight animation is just a little 'extra' thrown in there. _________________________ Proud Member of Axis and Allies Paintworks 'A skin is never done...it is only abandoned when the desire to work on it ends.' ~ Casey1976

There is no way, unless a mod addressed it, to get the iron sight to rotate back into place manually.

And then when I press Shft-1,the sight is zoomed towards me. I hate that w/a passion. So half the time, I'm just wing-shooting. So you can tell that I'm always pressing the Page-Down key to get a better view of things. Good Mornin'- Ed
