After the pilot sets the range by matching the diamonds to the target size and turns his own aircraft to smoothly match the angular displacement the gunsight computes the lead needed to hit the target and moves the pip to match. The pilot lines up the pip with the target and fires.
Is the pilot moving the actual guns when changing the size of the imaginary circle?
cliff burton no he is not
but its showing him where to aim

The guns are set to converge their fire at a set distance in front of the aircraft. The sight guides the aiming pilot to that pre-set distance.
good hsit fam
