Gun sights for US fighters

[Laurwin]

yea id like to know answer too, to the burning question in our minds...


why so many lines and circles in the Navy gunsight mk8?

You feel like you cant even see thru it, there's too much stuff in that gunsight. When enemy is making slight evasive move (e.g. pushing rudder or slight dive). Maybe I'm a noob at gunnery but I like P-47D-27 gunsight more, simple circle and aiming dot in centre.

at least with 4.12 patch, you can decrease gunsight light level, so I could try that out.

you are correct in your post btw. In older 4.11 patches, the gunsight of corsair is not fully visible, either with gunsight centered (shift+1) or freeley floating view. With floiating view, and track IR, you can barely get half of the thickness, of the outermost ring, visible. (but you must mash your face just in front of trackir device basically)

in 4.12 the entire gunsight is visisble in centered view, at least, and quite good also in floating view.
