B25H Gunsight Mod

[AKP]

Good point Krusty...  the 75MM is a LOT slower than a machine gun round, and if you are firing from 3000+ the ship wont be there by the time the shell arrives.  I experienced this first hand today...  so the next exercise will be developing a lead system to share.

Although... I took down a DD in 4 or 5 shots with this today.  (The stern almost took my wing off as it was going down.)  So I have the lead down.... its about a boat length at 3000+  Just have to get some screenshots to post and some reference points in the cockpit to others can line up easier.

The main trouble I have is I usually end up heading into the attack run alone... and every gun in the fleet turns on me... so even if I get some good hits in, Im not going home     Need some other 25 drivers to go with me! 

I am kinda making this my personal mission... so as I get more info, I will post it here for all to share.  And if anyone wants to add... please do!  Thanks for all the support guys

A good place for this would be the Help & training forum

Cool... Once I get another set of screenies together, I will reorganize it, and post a link to the new thread in the training forum.  Hehe... didnt really mean for it to turn into all of this, but I guess it has huh?

Excellent work on the ranging screen shot's AKP.
That's going to really help a lot of folks learn to dial it in.

Really good to see someone stepping up and giving back to this game we all love,(and hate, and love to hate.) 
Just downloaded the white version of your updated sight.

The hard part is getting that first shot on target at 4k. From there its just slowly keep dropping the elevation, watching your hits, as you get closer. Your range screenshots are going to make a huge difference on that.

Yes a 2 or more B25h's working together will do much better.  4 of them with a scissors attack would be devastating to a fleet.

Ohh and I always preferred to hit the cruiser first if possible, taking out as many of the manned guns on the first pass.
Much better chances for survival.

I have reposted all of the above information in the Training Forums, along with some additional information on ranging and leading targets.  Any future information related to this topic I will post there.  Here is the link to the new thread:

Why is it I picture a TIE Fighter sitting in the middle of that sight?

Lol Sax Thanks AKP, though not historically accurate, I prefer to use multi-colored gunsights.
