This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.

It's all good.

I will be updating the Pack soon. I translated a german WEB blog discussion on Reflexvisiere 12 and 16 with photos from the lit graticule. Seems without a nachtfilter the graticule should be a yellowish white not white white. The photographs we see on some web pages from enthusiests are of a penlight through the base of the optics minus any filter. Thats the origion of my white white revi graticule.

ReviC/12x versions had red nachtfilter(nightfilter) and the Revi16x up till the Revi16N had blue. The Revi16N returned to red and is a very different graticule. The shape of the basic Revi graticle is taken from the shape of the 455mm iron ring sight. It is two circles with a cross. This is deceptive except the germans seem to not want to say mils in diameter but instead refrence diameter as a function of how far back your eye is from the sight. 455mm aprox 18inches. The tick marks are to help estimate range by wingspan of your target.

I'll get crackin with the Revi updates...... :)

Just forgot...

Revi3x - Pilots position. fighter
ReviC/12x - Pilots position. fighter
Revi16A - Gunner positions.
Revi16b - Pilots position. fighter
Revi16d - Adjustable knob to raise and lower graticule for jabo.
Revi25x - Used in turrets. Me410 rear barbettes. Still looking for a graticule. 455mm or ring and cross is probably the style.
Revi16N - Gunner position for manned Schräge Musik. So far research shows as a night figter gunsight.

Fantastic!

Is there some documentation somewhere that someone can link that tells me how to accurately use some of these gunsights?
