I've got the OPL if HTC has the ride............

France had two reticle. The one shown and then a later reticle set of 7 that were swapped out by hand to account for 7 set speeds of the con. Basically this reticle but with small circles at the end of the radial lines which for each speed a straight line radiated out to a small circle at the projected hold off. Very few pilots used that and preferred the one I've posted.

French OPL Gunsight




The "Optique de précision de Levallois modèle 1939" called "OPL "RX 39", "RX.391" or "RX.393".  It was mostly used in the Dewoitine D 520 and the Arsenal VG33 but was also seen on the Hawk H-75 and the MB 152.

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.

Shouldn't the French have their own plane now since the yak-3 is using the normandie-niemen skin?

I figured every French plane would have a tail gun so it could at least fire while retreating.  ;)

Think of it as a French plane. It has a French pilot. Vive le Ru .... er France.

(It stays under the Russian plane list, though. Just like Russian P-39s, P-40s, Hurricanes etc. stay under their respective country lists.)  :D

You might care to investigate the reasons for this modern conception. You might be surprised BluBerry!


I feel now that the Yak-3 has been added, you guys might even be getting closer to having your bird added. Hope you get it!  :rock
