Why the tube sight?

Why not?
Chosen is virtually a third world country. The Japanese had those tube sights on their Ki-43 and Ki-44 too.

Well because you dont have them on any other design you posted

Indeed, that's true. Of the designs I recently posted this would be the 'oldest' one. And as a "second line" fighter I wanted it to appear obsolete or at least not on par with the rest.
Moreover I already made an upgraded version for 1942/43 with a differnet canopy and a reflex sight and a retractable rear wheel...I would say it was mostly an asthetical decision, to make the development from the first version to the second version more obvious.
