F4U gun sights....
« on: December 10, 2006, 01:12:09 PM »
Not really a bug per SE, but still something I have a question about

The F4Us (specifically the 1A, C, D and 4, I think the 1 used a different type of sight) used the same Mk.8 gun sight as in the F6F and later-model F4Fs/FMs. However in the game the sights for the two 'Cats fill the entire sight glass and appears probably 2-3 times the size of the same one used in the F4U's.

In fact, this is the case when comparing the size of the gun sight on the Corsairs to MANY aircraft and some GVs (specifically the M-16): The F4U's sights under normal head position and zoom are SIGNIFICANTLY smaller.

Was this an oversight in modeling or is there photo evidence that shows the sight on the Corsair appears that much smaller? Is it possible to fix this so the sights on the Corsair appear larger?
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.
