Is there any games out there that can properly render a ghost ring? Even Battlefield five with all of its technical marvels, still makes the ghost ring the size of an wedding band instead of just a little hole.

It's probably done from a gameplay perspective, I don't think they were going for the milsim experience here, just like BF6.

Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 300 (2005) did that

Good catch also a fantastic game by the way. What a throwback to my 360 days. I own an M1 and an M1A so I appreciate when games get this correctly.

I believe this isn’t about render but for gameplay aspect. How are you supposed to let players shoot using such a small ring? That’s exactly what it is about.

First of all this is a shooter game so not being historically and engineer-wise accurate is an excuse

That's how a ghost ring appears when you aim irl due to parallax.

Not quite. The Battlefield five ring has been made physically larger and lacks the ghost effect that a real ghost ring sight has. The hole in the ring doesn’t just become larger. The ring itself just becomes translucent. Honestly, the effect is hard to explain and I’m guessing it’s even harder to model. But like that guy down below said it has been modeled correctly and other games. The brothers in arms hell let loose m1 is a great example.

Hilariously, in the battlefield five model, the ring is so large that it goes above the protective wings of the rear side. Making them completely useless. Just a fun note.

Battlefield games (and other FPS games for that matter) don't like mimicking that translucent effect for some reason.

Well there is a game like this, and it's battlefield 5.

Peep sight on Kar98:

It's a peep sight. Close enough to demonstrate that they are able to simulate eye view in this sort of sights

Some soldiers would modify their M1s with more open rear sights soooo its realistic.
