P51d default gunsight

[Randy1]

Bustr, thanks so much for the gun sight download.  I like how clean it looks.  I have a question on its use.

I have guessed the low mark is for a 45 deg dive bomb attack and the one above that a rocket sight mark.  Is that correct?

Correct.

That specific gunsight was someone elses from probably War Birds that has been kept alive by sucessive genreations of poni fans. I simply cleaned it up for AH use, and gave the obvious marks actual Mil values based on a 512x512 mask 2pixel = 1Mil.

Thank Uptown for the initiative to breath another generation of life into a good poni gunsight. Remove the lines and place an 85Mil ring around the cross and you have the "Fixed Mode" ring and cross for the P51D's K14 gunsight. Thats about where the opening is in the four primary lines. 85Mil is the hold off for a 20 degree of travel path low E turn lead shot or the 100mph ring for the MkII gunsight in the spitfire.

That sight as well as some variations on it are available here.

The pand maps on that page are out of date so you shouldn't use them.

It's been so long since I've been a vtard that I forgot I had pictures from me doing stunts in a work truck.
 
3 broken axles and a bent frame was my personal best.  The Kenworth suffered zero damage.

Then I thank you both.  Not sure what it is about the sight but it has boosted my shoot making skills.  I think it is the clear lineup i can visualize on a lead shot with the sight.  When added in Latrobes FOV thread, my shooting skills have made a nice step forward.  Although known as the P51 sight, it fits the P38 perfectly.

I think it fits all allied planes with rockets perfectly.

A huge +1. Many thanks Bustr!

Why doesn't HTC have this in an update? I just had to reload the game from scratch and couldn't figure it out why my Pony sight was missing.
