There is no way to use full sight deflection!
No pilot would go into combat with his sight setup like it is in the razor back P47's. If I was a CO and my P47s were delivered in this condition I would order the crew chiefs to make new sight brackets before I cleared these aircraft to fly!
The sight needs to be moved up so at minimum the bottom of the sight glass clears the top of the engine cowl. Obviously the location of the pilot's head possition will need to change too when he looks through the sight.
While we are at it the early razor back P51's could use the same sort of loving.
Cheers and thanks in advance.

Amen to that request!
So sad that we seem to be very rare, we that like these two legendary birds
BTW a new P47 cockpit will be built by TD, hopefully there will be a new one for the razorbacks too.
